Samara Ocean Mix Tour: Dolphin Watching & Snorkeling
Combine dolphin watching off the Samara coast with snorkeling at Isla Chora on this half-day boat trip. Drinks, fresh fruit and snorkel gear included.
Get the best of Samara's ocean in one trip. This half-day boat tour combines a search for wild dolphins and other marine life with snorkeling at Isla Chora, the small island facing Samara Beach.
Spotted and bottlenose dolphins are regularly seen along this stretch of the Guanacaste coast, and depending on the season you may also spot humpback whales, sea turtles and seabirds. Your local guide follows the wildlife while keeping a respectful distance: swimming with the dolphins is not allowed.
On the way back, the boat stops at Isla Chora, where you can snorkel in clear water and look for tropical fish and other marine life around the rocks. Seasonal fruit and drinks are served on board, and all snorkel gear is provided.
