Exclusive Resorts Papagayo Private Snorkeling 

Snorkeling, fishing, sailing and paddle boarding

Join us from Exclusive Resorts Papagayo on a snorkeling and fishing adventure along the coast. Sail on our all-inclusive catamaran or yacht to one of the many beautiful beaches in the area.

Snorkeling and fishing

One of our favorite activities is snorkeling, and we have all the equipment for an underwater adventure, exploring some of the reefs or rock pinnacles in the area, near Culebra Bay or Papagayo Peninsular.

For those who love fishing, we have fishing rods, and on many occasions we catch some of the many species of coastal fishing resident in the area, such as jacks, snappers, tuna and mackerel.

In addition, we also provide stand up paddle boards and sea kayaks to explore the coast or go to one of the many beaches in the area.

Imagine setting sail from the exclusive shores of Exclusive Resorts Papagayo aboard your very own private catamaran or luxury yacht, where every detail is tailored to your perfect day at sea. As you depart the calm marina waters, the verdant hills of Guanacaste recede and the endless expanse of the Pacific beckons—inviting you to leave the ordinary behind and embrace a world of natural wonder.

Paddle boarding, kayak and fishing

We also include paddle boards, kayaks and fishing ( trolling ) as well as other optional toys, like floating mats, noodles and sometimes trampoline.

Your expert crew greets you with welcome cocktails and a brief safety orientation before hoisting the sails. Feel the gentle tropical trade winds fill the canvas as you glide past dramatic volcanic headlands and hidden coves. Anchor in a sheltered bay and slip into the warm, crystalline waters for an unforgettable snorkeling session among thriving coral gardens. Schools of neon-striped sergeant majors, colorful parrotfish, and elegant angelfish dance through swaying sea fans, while the occasional green sea turtle drifts gracefully by.

Back on deck, grab a paddle board and explore mangrove-lined inlets, drifting silently along shorelines untouched by crowds. Anglers aboard can test their skills from the transom—casting for spirited roosterfish and snapper beneath circling pelicans. When the sun reaches its zenith, your yacht navigates to a pristine, white-sand beach only accessible by boat. Here, under the shade of swaying palms, enjoy a gourmet picnic of fresh ceviche, local tropical fruits, and chilled beverages prepared with Costa Rican flair.

Keep your eyes on the horizon as playful pods of dolphins often escort our vessels, leaping and spinning in the boat’s bow wake. Occasionally, a curious sea turtle surfaces nearby, adding to the sense of communion with the wild. As afternoon light gilds the water, raise the sails once more for a leisurely journey back to Exclusive Resorts Papagayo—leaving you with sun-kissed memories, the thrill of discovery, and the unmatched serenity of an exclusive day on the Pacific.
