Peninsula Papagayo Private Snorkeling 

Snorkeling, fishing, sailing and paddle boarding

The Papagayo Peninsula is one of the ideal places for snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking, as the waters are calm and there are many coves and bays in the area with rock formations and reef pinnacles, perfect for a day of absolute enjoyment at sea.

There are more than 15 beaches, and with our private snorkeling charter, we can visit the ideal beach to get the most out of the day.

In addition to snorkeling, private sailing tours also include paddle boarding, fishing, kayaking, and floating mats, among other toys.

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.

First stop: a vibrant reef teeming with life. Slip into the crystal-clear water for snorkeling among schools of neon-striped sergeant majors, graceful parrotfish, and swaying sea fans. Back on deck, grab a paddle board and drift along mangrove-lined inlets, discovering hidden coves that few ever see. Anglers can cast off from the transom—chasing roosterfish, snapper, or even yellowfin tuna—while pelicans hover overhead, looking for their own catch.

Later, your captain will navigate to a secluded white-sand beach accessible only by boat. Here, soft sands meet untouched jungle, and you may spot pods of dolphins frolicking offshore or a green sea turtle gliding serenely through the shallows. A gourmet picnic—fresh ceviche, tropical fruits, and chilled sparkling wine—awaits beneath swaying palms, creating the perfect midday respite.

As afternoon light softens the sky, raise the sails for a leisurely journey back to Andaz Papagayo. Whether you came for heart-racing thrills or peaceful moments at sea, this private charter delivers an unforgettable blend of luxury, wildlife encounters, and the pristine beauty of Guanacaste’s coastline.
