Amazing cruise
We had an amazing trip! Captain Eric and his crew were fantastic. Great food, whale watching, snorkeling and a beautiful sunset that had the best vibe. One of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip. Kids and adults had fun! Highly recommend.

A must do!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a great time on the Lazy Lizard sunset catamaran tour! We booked it for our family, and there were a few other families on board as well. It was a fun, relaxed evening and everyone had a great time. Jose was our captain and he was fantastic friendly, personable, and made sure everyone was having fun. The entire crew was wonderful. I can’t remember everyone’s names, but Emmett was especially great. Such a nice kid! The sunset was beautiful, the food was surprisingly good, and the whole experience was easy and enjoyable from start to finish. A perfect way to spend an evening in Costa Rica with family. Highly recommend Lazy Lizard. Five stars!

Perfect afternoon cruise
This was the highlight of our trip! We sailed out with Erick and his crew on this last Monday, and we are still talking about it on our way home. The transportation was seamless from our hotel only 10 minutes up the road, and after a quick little dingy ride, we were ready to go. The three man crew were SO accommodating and kind. They have everything you might need on board. First, we had a beautiful cruise out to a secluded island beach. On the way there, we caught a humpback whale just off of the side of the boat! Erick tended bar and kept us well hydrated :) at the beach, some of the group opted to snorkel with one of the crew as our guide and some of our group stayed behind and floated on paddle boards and the lily pad. They had plenty of gear for everyone. Once we were ready to cruise again, there was a delicious taco, salad, pasta salad and fresh fruit lunch waiting for us. They had some killer homemade sauces and lunch was really great. The rest of the ride was filled with music, dancing and good laughs. I would not hesitate to book another sunset cruise with these guys. 10/10!

Fun Private Sunset Catamaran
We sailed aboard the Lazy Lizard for a private sunset cruise and everyone loved it! Captain Luis, Junior, and Angel were a stellar team handling our group of 14. The driver was prompt for our pickup and the van comfortably cooled. At the shoreline we boarded a small launch to take us to the catamaran and the staff were very helpful in getting us on safely. The boat was spacious for a group of our size, there was plenty of room for everyone to sit and move around. Angel gave us a briefing on the schedule and off we went sailing to Honeymoon Beach. Junior and Angel were attentive to everyone, routinely circling the boat with snacks and offers to get more drinks if they saw our empty cups. The water at the cove was a little choppy, but with a lily pad, SUPs, and pool noodles, everyone that wanted to be in the water could be in it safely. The snorkeling wasn’t the best as you had to get closer to the rocky shore to see things, but swimming out to open ocean I saw a massive sea turtle! We were there for 1.5 hours which was plenty of time for multiple water activities. Lunch/dinner signaled the end of our time there. We boarded the boat for chicken tacos, salads (with delicious fruity dressings), and dessert. The crew again made rounds to make sure plates and cups were recycled (I appreciate an eco forward tour) and more drinks poured. Luis then made a bigger loop back to the shore while we admired the islands and sunset. Junior took a great group photo for us, and sadly the cruise was over. We had fun on this well-oiled tour and would highly recommend getting a private tour instead of joining a group. The price difference is worth the freedom of picking your music, not worrying about your stuff being taken by other passengers, and being at ease moving around the boat. Thank you for making us feel special Cpt. Luis, Angel, and Junior!

Would go again and again!
What an amazing time! After three visits to Costa Rica, our kids (12 and 15) declared this their best excursion ever! Our family of 17 all enjoyed the cruising, the swimming, the sunset, and the tacos! Constant snacks, drinks, and wonderful customer service. So grateful to Captain Josue, Erick, and David, our tattoo champion. Make sure you’re prepared to get in the tender boat (they were great with two of our party who had just had shoulder surgeries). Also, there is a non-affiliated “parking guy” in a vest who will continue to encourage you to move your cars so he can “watch them” (re: get a tip when you return 😊).

Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.
How much does Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo cost?
+
Prices start at $1,900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa Flamingo is not rushed.
Is Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa Flamingo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa Flamingo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Playa Flamingo?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails, Tamarindo: Snorkel and Sunset Catamaran Cruise with Lunch, Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Playa Flamingo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Playa Flamingo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Kayaks; Local guide; Hotel pickup & drop off; Snacks; and Use of snorkeling equipment. Not included: The listed price does not include a parking fee, payable at the time of tour check-in. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Sunset Catamaran in Playa Flamingo include hotel pickup?

+
