Super fun experience on...
Super fun experience on the boat! The drinks were flowing and the lunch they served us was fantastic. We were taken to a cove to snorkel and hangout on the beach. We didn’t see any fish, but still enjoyed our time there. The ride back watching the sunset was breathtaking. Highly recommend!

We had good weather for...
We had good weather for our trip, which gave great views of the sunset. It took us a bit to figure out which was our tour at the meeting point but thankfully there are multiple tour groups and they all sort of know each other enough to point you in the right direction. We enjoyed chatting with the other guests and the drinks and lunch were delicious! The lunch was rice, chicken, beans, salad, fruit. When packing, be beach-ready! The best part was the hour floating in a beach cove.

Would book again!
We had a great time on the Timorouba Catamaran! The tour took us to a beautiful private beach area with great snorkeling, lunch, and cocktails! We had an amazing sail back with a super fun and friendly group, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend the Timorouba Catamaran for a fun and relaxing day on the water!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling cost?
+
Prices start at $97 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 Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 506 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 Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling?
+
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 Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling?
+
Around 177 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling 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.
