From Departure to Return
After welcoming you aboard, the crew gives a safety briefing and explains the equipment. Your captain selects a route based on wind, waves, currents, and underwater visibility.
We may head north or south toward a suitable bay. There is no fixed beach itinerary or guaranteed anchorage: the plan adapts to the conditions, with care for everyone’s comfort.
When the wind allows, we travel under sail. Watch the scenery from the trampolines, settle into a beanbag, or photograph the beautiful beaches from a different perspective.
At anchor, you can participate in the available activities before sharing a meal. We return to Playa Flamingo by 12:30 PM, leaving your afternoon free.
Sailing, Snorkeling, and Relaxation
Coastal Views from a Trimaran
The journey gives you space to slow down and appreciate Guanacaste from the ocean. Feel the breeze across the deck while the captain handles navigation.
Comparing a catamaran in Playa Flamingo with other options? Mowana is a trimaran with three hulls. Our smaller-group format offers privacy and personal service, with no other passengers joining your reservation.
For travelers considering a shared catamaran cruise, the main difference is exclusivity: you spend the excursion with your own family or friends.
A Snorkeling Tour with Coastal Exploration
Equipment is included for guests who want to explore beneath the surface. The captain chooses a suitable location according to visibility, currents, and sea conditions.
Tropical fish and other marine life may be encountered. Rays, turtles, or dolphins sometimes appear, but wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Read our guide to snorkeling in Guanacaste to learn more about the region’s underwater environment.
Swimming, Paddleboarding, and Fishing
One paddleboard is available to share when conditions are suitable. Try a paddle near the boat, take a swim, or watch from the deck.
Fishing equipment is also available, with opportunities depending on the route and conditions. Tell us what interests you so we can help you make the most of the stop.
A Comfortable Place to Unwind
You do not need to follow everyone else into the water. Stretch out on the trampolines, find a shaded seat, or relax with a drink in a comfortable beanbag.
Some guests come for fun and exploration; others simply want a scenic boat ride and conversation. Everyone can choose their own balance.
Fresh Food and Drinks
Enjoy snacks aboard Mowana. There is no shared-group schedule to follow while you eat and spend time together.
Coffee and cinnamon rosquillas are included in the morning experience. Refreshments include water, soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails.
Please mention allergies or dietary requirements when booking so we can discuss what can be accommodated.

This half-day format suits families who want outdoor adventure without committing to a full day at sea. Children, teenagers, and adults can share the same outing while choosing different ways to relax or explore.
Tell us your children’s ages and your group’s swimming ability beforehand. Participation depends on individual confidence and the conditions, and an adult must supervise younger guests.
For more activities in Playa Flamingo after your return, see our guide to exploring the town and its surroundings.
Meeting Point and Practical Information
Meet at Playa Flamingo Beach, directly in front of PLEAMAR restaurant, a few minutes before 8:30 AM. Boarding is from the shore, not Marina Flamingo. Locate the restaurant on your map before setting out to make arrival easy.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, and something to protect personal belongings from splashes. Consider an extra layer if you feel cool after swimming.
Guests staying at hotels in Playa Flamingo should check the route from their accommodation. If you are coming from Tamarindo, Brasilito, Potrero, or elsewhere in the province, allow enough travel time. We can recommend local transportation providers.
Conditions vary with the season and from one date to another. Ask about availability for your stay; no particular month guarantees calm seas or clear visibility.
