Designed locally. Experienced with care.
When I plan coastal and ocean experiences in Costa Rica, I focus on how water, weather, and location come together.
Some days are perfect for a catamaran tour or snorkeling in calm bays. Other days are better suited for river boat tours through mangroves, visiting waterfalls near the coast, or simply enjoying the shoreline at a slower pace.
I also take into account tides, seasons when recommending experiences like dolphin and whale watching, diving, or fishing.
I focus on choosing the right activity for the right place and time, so your experience feels natural, safe, and well-paced.
Every recommendations is based on real conditions, not assumptions
