Itinerary

Planet Dolphin

Your 4 hour coastal cruise will depart from Marina Pez Vela. Board the catamaran and cruise into the open sea, in search of spotted dolphins, migrating humpback whales, sea turtles and manta rays. Sail along the coastline of Manuel Antonio National Park and enjoy views of the mysterious islands, jagged cliffs and unique rock formations. Catch a glimpse of numerous species of marine birds, including magnificent frigates, pelicans, yellow footed boobies and white ibises. While touring the coastline, the captain will hoist the sails, wind permitting, and you will enjoy the feel of the catamaran cutting quietly through the blue waters of the Pacific. Your guides will be ready to answer any questions you have, while giving a brief history of the area. After touring the coastline, anchor in a protected cove within the pristine Biesanz Bay for a snorkeling adventure in the warm pacific waters. Observe the underwater playground. Masks, snorkels and fins will be provided. See numerous species of colorful tropical fish. Afterwards, come back on board and enjoy a delicious buffet meal of grilled fresh fish brochettes with onion and green peppers, pasta salad with vegetables, homemade pesto sauce, fresh tropical fruit, homemade flan, the freshest Costa Rican coffee, cocktails and natural fruit drinks.     Discover the true meaning of the word paradise as you relax and enjoy the Pura Vida ("pure life") in this beautiful bay surrounded by the lush green landscape and the soothing sounds of the ocean. Finally, enjoy your scenic journey back to the Quepos dock. If you have chosen a summer afternoon departure, you may even be able to view a dramatic sunset on the way back to shore as an added bonus.

What a great trip!

One of our favorite activities during our trip in Costa Rica! The team was so friendly and we had such a good time seeing dolphins enjoying the view from ocean side and had couple of cocktails (included). Also the lunch was very delicious! We did the trip twice.

Relaxing Tour of the Manuel Antonio Coast

We had a great time! The boat was very comfortable for 4 hours of cruising, and the coastline was beautiful. Highlights were seeing dolphins alongside the boat, snorkeling in a quiet bay, and enjoying a delicious lunch of grilled fish. Would definitely recommend!

Private Tour, worth the price.

A private tour is definitely worth the price. There were 6 of us (3 couples) and it was a perfect day on the water. We were able to snorkel and the food was incredible. No fighting for space on the boat with 50 other people! The day was catered to what we wanted to do. Jorge and his partner were wonderful.

great time with my family

We had a greart time on the Planet Dolphin private catamaran. We got close to whales, dolphins, did some snorkling and watched the most beautiful sunset. The captain and 1st mate were great. We also had a wonderful dinner of Wahoo fish skewers, pasta and fresh fruit. The whole family loved all the food. I recommend this excursion.

Wonderful Experience on the private catamaran with Planet Dolphin!

We had an amazing time on the private catamaran with Planet Dolphin. They picked us up from our house and took us to the marina. Upon signing waivers and paying our balance, we loaded onto the boat and were welcomed with an open bar with fresh squeezed juices, with the option to add rum to any of our drinks. There was also fresh fruit! The team members were all so kind and fun. You could tell they really loved their job and they took such good care of us. They would come to us throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed and refreshed our beverages. The drive to the snorkeling spot was beautiful. They drove us along the coast near the little island and we even saw dolphins along the way, which was really neat for the kids. Once we got to our spot, they gave us gear for snorkeling. We had about an hour to explore the reefs, swim, lay on the floating mat and enjoy the two slides on the boat. The big slide was a bit aggressive for us, but the smaller one was perfect. We were also able to jump off the top level of the boat, which was thrilling. We worked up an appetite and they served us a delicious lunch. The food was so delicious Iate way more than I had planned to. After lunch, we took a quick fresh water shower off the back of the boat and had a quick ride back to the marina. Overall, it was about 3 hours and it was a perfect outing. We had people ranging from 8 years told to 75 years old, and everyone was able to participate and enjoy the day. I would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend it, and the staff!

Operator response

Our crew genuinely loves what they do, and knowing their kindness and attention helped make your experience memorable fills us with joy. Your recommendation is incredibly appreciated. It was a joy having you with us, and we would love to welcome you back for another wonderful day on the water. Pura Vida!

Perfect tour on a lovely day

We had a group of 21 celebrating a big birthday in Costa Rica. The Planet Dolphin private Catamaran tour is one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was so friendly and helpful, waiting on us the entire tour. There was time for everyone to go snorkeling in a lovely cove and they served us a delicious lunch with fresh fruits and local fish kebabs. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
