Las Catalinas Snorkeling from Papagayo
The Catalina Islands are some of the best spots to scuba dive and snorkeling in all of Costa Rica. There are several dive sites located around these islands which protrude from the Pacific in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. The islands are a fair distance offshore and are the home of the Pacific Giant Mantas among other marine life.
Join us for an unforgettable snorkeling tour to the breathtaking Las Catalinas Islands, departing from Playas del Coco. Enjoy a scenic boat ride across the sparkling Pacific Ocean, where you might spot playful dolphins and, during whale season, even the majestic giants breaching the surface. Once at the islands, dive into crystal-clear waters to explore volcanic coral reefs and a rich array of marine life, including tropical fish and sea turtles. Your experienced guide will ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience, providing snorkeling gear and tips along the way. Relax on the boat with some refreshing local fruits as you soak up the sunshine and stunning views. This adventure is the perfect way to connect with Costa Rica’s natural beauty!
