Although Costa Rica is not widely known for its snorkeling, there are still some intriguing areas where marine enthusiasts can find enjoyment. Cahuita National Park on the Caribbean coast, for example, offers a chance to explore the country's largest coral reef. On the Pacific side, areas such as Ballena National Park and the waters surrounding Corcovado National Park in southern Costa Rica provide opportunities to explore the underwater world, albeit more modestly. These locations are best experienced as part of a broader adventure that highlights Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity both above and below the water. If you're interested in adding a snorkeling experience to your itinerary, our Costa Rica specialists can help you plan a trip that balances marine exploration with the country's many other natural wonders.

We had a great experience- they were very helpful in trip planning and making sure we got to do all the activities and see the places we wanted. There were some things we couldn't do/see due to the time of year being the rainy/low season and they steered us away from those. We had never been to Costa Rica before and it gave us a good overview of this lovely country.
