Best boat tour out of Tamarindo, new boat, not crowded and big sun deck and lower deck with lots of shadow!
Great tour with a fabulous new catamaran and professional crew, they immediately made us feel so welcome on the boat with cool music, fresh fruits and a cocktail. The food and drinks were so good, really generous portions. We also arrived at a wonderful hidden bay with turquoise waters to go swim and discover the beach and then left on a sunset cruise mode when two other really crowded boats from Tamarindo arrived. The captain really made us discover the best spots he knew. Definitely the best tour we did during our vacation in Costa Rica!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for you comment! We are really happy you had a gret experience onboard of our catamaran and with our crew. See you soon onboard the Pacific Lounge 🤩

PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun cost?
+
Prices start at $98 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tamarindo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun take?
+
Plan for about 4.3 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 Tamarindo is not rushed.
Is PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun?
+
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 PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun?
+
Around 1 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo and add a light layer if any part of the 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo?
+
On Outty we rank every Tamarindo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surf Lesson in Tamarindo - Stand Up or Your Money Back!, Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, Fundive Catalina Islands (2 dives, only for certified divers). 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 Tamarindo?
+
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 Tamarindo?
+
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.
What is included in PUBLIC Morning Family&Nature Catamaran Tour Tamarindo - Kids fun?
