Sailing is a beautiful way to explore the Costa Rican coastline. You can often see turtles, dolphins, and even whales playing in the sea. There are a number of companies located in Tamarindo and Flamingo that offer sailing experiences. We would like to share a couple of our favorites…

This established company offers tours from Playa Flamingo, Playa Tamarindo, and Playas de Coco. They have three custom boats that are 65 and 66 feet. The tours will take you to a bay where you can enjoy snorkeling, paddle boarding, and swimming in peaceful waters. They offer an open bar and special feast of barbecue chicken, Spanish rice, beans, chips, fruit, and homemade cookies. The boat returns while you enjoy the beautiful sunset.
