Overview

Guidekin summary

A two-hour catamaran hop from Playa Blanca to the Papagayo beaches with a proper swimming stop. The right pick when you want the turquoise-water postcard without giving up half a day.

From the guide

Set sail on a catamaran adventure to the breathtaking beaches of Papagayo. Swim in crystal-clear waters, sunbathe on deck, and take in the stunning scenery on this unforgettable mini cruise.

Guests departing from Playa Blanca have the option of an earlier departure to enjoy free time at Marina Rubicón before setting sail. Market days at Marina Rubicón take place every Wednesday and Saturday, making this an excellent opportunity to combine the famous market, marina atmosphere, shopping, and your catamaran cruise all in one day.

We will drop anchor in the sheltered bay of Papagayo Beaches, where you can swim around the catamaran or go snorkeling. For those who prefer to relax, unwind with a siesta or simply take in the sights and sounds of the gentle waves. Lounge on the comfortable nets or soft seating areas and soak up the sun in total comfort.
