Marlin del Rey Catamaran Tour – Tamarindo
A catamaran excursion is a great combo-type tour because not only do you get out on a sailboat, but they stop in a calmer bay for snorkeling, swimming, etc. They also serve snacks, include a meal (BBQ chicken, rice, sides, etc.), and have an open bar.
Morning or afternoon tours are available. We recommend the afternoon because it includes sunset on your way back in (around 5:30 pm), and Tamarindo has some great ones.
This boat is quite large (66 feet long) and can hold up to 70 people. It has a party-like atmosphere since they play music and the staff is fun.
There is no dock so you will wade through shallow water to take a short motorboat ride to reach the catamaran.

An amazing adventure for our family! From our arrival and parking (great guy on guard for our vehicle) to the shuttle out to the catamaran and the entire experience – we loved it all – felt comfortable and safe – and enjoyed the great lunch on board (and drinks of course).
