Frequently asked questions
Cruise Description
We leave Marina Pez Vela hoisting the sails as we pass Parque Nahomi and follow the coastline along Manuel Antonio Beach. The cruise continues past Isla Olocuita and Isla Mogote, offering spectacular views of the lush rainforest of Manuel Antonio National Park.
A welcome drink, juice or coffee, and fresh fruit are offered.
Relax in the sun or unwind in the shade as you watch dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, and pelicans glide by. During whale season, you may even witness whales breaching.
Whale watching
The Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica is a prime destination for humpback whale watching.
From July to October, whales from the Southern Hemisphere migrate to the warm, sheltered waters to give birth, care for, and nurture their calves.
A second migration occurs from late December to March, when whales from the Northern Hemisphere travel south to the same tropical waters.
Join a cruise along the coastline for a chance to observe these remarkable marine mammals in their natural environment.
Sightings are very common during both seasons, though, as with all wildlife, they cannot be guaranteed.
Watersports activities
We anchor in a sheltered bay where you can swim, enjoy snorkeling, relax on our floating mat, or explore the water with kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. You can even “walk the plank” before diving in the warm Pacific waters.
Bring your swimsuit and towel!
Seasonal snorkeling near Playa Tulemar may reveal Parrotfish, Wrasses, Pufferfish, Damselfish, Sergeant Majors, and small octopuses. Snorkeling equipment is provided.
While you swim, our chef prepares a freshly cooked meal accommodating any dietary needs.
The morning cruise returns to Marina Pez Vela around 12:15 pm.
During the sunset cruise, savor the beauty of the Pacific as the sky transforms with color before we gently return to Marina Pez Vela around 5:30 pm — or a little later, just after the sun dips below the horizon, depending on the season.
