A Private Afternoon on the Guanacaste Coast
After a safety briefing, your captain selects the route according to wind, sea conditions, currents, and visibility. Mowana may head north or south to find a sheltered bay suited to the afternoon. There is no fixed anchorage promised in advance.
Once anchored, choose how to spend your time: snorkel, swim, try the paddleboard, or stay aboard with a view of the coastline. When conditions allow, we travel under sail. Your private sailing experience follows a flexible itinerary, with comfort and safety guiding the route and water sports adapted to local conditions.
Sailing, Snorkeling, and Sunset

Sailing Along the Guanacaste Coast
See this part of Costa Rica from the ocean as you settle onto the spacious trampolines or relax in a shaded area. A relaxing sailing afternoon gives your group time together away from the pace of shore activities. Your sunset sail combines scenic views with the changing light across the region.
Snorkeling and Swimming
Snorkeling equipment is provided. Your captain chooses a suitable place to enter the water based on visibility and currents. Learn more about the conditions and marine life in our guide to snorkeling in Guanacaste.
Tropical fish, rays, sea turtles, or dolphins may sometimes be encountered. These animals live freely in nature, so wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Swimming plans also depend on sea conditions, swimming ability, and the needs of children in your group.
Paddleboarding on the Pacific
One paddleboard is available. Paddle around the boat and explore the calm water when conditions permit. You can also swim, rest on deck, or take photos while your companions enjoy the activities.
Sunset Aboard Mowana
As evening approaches, Mowana leaves the bay and resumes sailing when conditions allow. Settle into a beanbag or onto the trampolines for the final part of your cruise. Every sunset is different; clouds, weather, and the season shape the colors and the view.
A Fresh Meal with a View of the Pacific

A fresh Costa Rican barbecue is prepared onboard by our crew. Snacks may include fresh bites such as vegetables with dip, chimichurri with homemade chips, and fruit; menus vary with the season. Unlimited drinks are included, with beverages such as water, juices, soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails.
Share your food preferences or allergies when booking so the team can review your needs. With the trimaran reserved for your group, meals and attentive service contribute to a relaxing atmosphere.

Why Choose the Sunset Tour?
When comparing tours in Playa Flamingo, consider the difference between shared group sunset cruises and a boat just for your group. Our private sunset cruise in Costa Rica offers a family-friendly afternoon aboard a trimaran for couples, families, and friends.
The boat can be a setting for a birthday, honeymoon, or simply a few hours together on vacation. Activities remain optional: adults and children can enjoy the afternoon at their own pace, with safety and conditions guiding the plan.
Before departure, spend the morning exploring Playa Flamingo.
Sunset Tour Departure from Playa Flamingo
Please arrive a few minutes before 1:30 PM at Playa Flamingo Beach, in front of PLEAMAR restaurant. The departure point is on the beach.
Hotel pickup and transportation are not included in the cruise cost. If you are staying at a hotel in Tamarindo or elsewhere in Guanacaste, Mowana can recommend local transportation providers. Plan your journey so you are ready for boarding at the scheduled time.
