    Best Trip in Costa Rica

    This was an amazing tour. I had never been snorkeling before or seen a sunset on the ocean. Jairo and his crew made the experience amazing. Would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to costa rica. Caught a needle fish, had fresh coconuts, held an octopus, starfish and saw a puffer fish. 10/10 recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review, my team and I are very Happy to know that you guys liked our service. Pura Vida

    Sunset Cruise Saint Elena Bay from Dreams Les Mareas Hotel

    I contacted Jairo Tours Costa Rica for a few items prior to our 8 day stay and wedding at Dreams Costa Rica. My husband and I wanted affordable transfers for our guests to and from the airport, we wanted to rent a full size boat to take our wedding guests out on the day after the wedding and a group tour to Nicaragua and Jairo took care of all of it which was awesome to centralize everything with one company and he was amazingly easy to work with. This review is the sunset cruise portion of the trip. We needed a boat to hold 25 people for a post wedding sailing outing the day after our wedding and wanted something we didn’t need to travel hours to get on….Jairo Tours had it covered. We picked the sunset cruise leaving at 3pm directly from the beach of our hotel. The boat was a great size with plenty of room to move around outside and inside even with 25 guests plus the crew. The crew was awesome they keep great watch as everyone snorkeled and even dropped some fishing lines off the back AND caught a fish which made all the fishermen on the boat very happy. We have ample supply of booze and beer and some snacks after snorkeling, then the best part was sailing back and watching a beautiful sunset over the ocean horizon. Everyone onboard said it was one of the best highlights of there trip! Thank you Jairo Tours for making the day so memorable.

    Response from the operator: Sweet! Thank you so much my dear friend me and my family appreciate all your support, it was a pleasure being at your services, hope to see you soon, Pura Vida!

    Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Hermosa.

    How much does Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Hermosa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 Playa Hermosa is not rushed.

    Is Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Playa Hermosa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena?

    +

    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 Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena?

    +

    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 Playa Hermosa 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 Hermosa and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena 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 Hermosa 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 Hermosa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa Hermosa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day, White Water River Rafting Class III-IV from La Fortuna-Arenal, Guachipelin Zipline, River Tubing, Horseback Ride, Hot springs & Lunch Combo. 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 Hermosa?

    +

    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 Hermosa?

    +

    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 Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena?

    +

    Included: Pineapple, watermelon, sodas, water, beers and snacks; Use of snorkeling equipment; and Licensed Guide. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 16 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Hermosa. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Sunset and Snorkeling trip at JW Marriott Costa Elena if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Playa Hermosa. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
