A private half-day trip from Nosara to Playa San Juanillo, a stunning twin-bay beach. Snorkel over reefs full of tropical fish, stroll the shore and relax with fresh fruit and coconut water.

Snorkel One of Costa Rica's Prettiest Beaches

Playa San Juanillo, about 45 minutes north of Nosara, is one of the most spectacular beaches on the Guanacaste coast. A rocky point splits it into two small bays with completely different personalities: one is soft sand and calm water, the other is lined with reefs and rocks that are perfect for snorkeling among colourful tropical fish.

Once you arrive you can explore underwater life, take a walk along the shore, or simply relax on the sand while your guide serves fresh fruit and coconut water. It's an easy, relaxed outing for families, couples and anyone who loves the ocean.
