Manuel Antonio Sunset Catamaran
Watch the sun set over the Pacific from a catamaran, cocktails in hand, dolphins at the bow, the jungle glowing gold.
The Perfect Sunset Experience in Manuel Antonio
Few travel experiences match a sunset catamaran cruise off the coast of Manuel Antonio. As the tropical sun descends toward the Pacific horizon, the sky moves through vivid shades of gold, pink, and deep orange, all reflected in the calm ocean around you, while the coastline of Manuel Antonio glows on the shore.
The Manuel Antonio sunset catamaran departs from Quepos Marina in the late afternoon, sailing south along the coastline toward the protected waters off the national park. Cocktails are poured as you get underway: fresh tropical mojitos, cold local Imperial beer, crisp white wine, or agua de pipa for those preferring something non-alcoholic.
As the catamaran moves through the coastal waters, spinner and bottlenose dolphins are frequently encountered, drawn to the bow wave, performing aerial acrobatics in the golden evening light. Seabirds wheel overhead, pelicans dive bomb the surface, and magnificent frigatebirds soar on the thermals against the brilliant sky.
As sunset approaches, the crew serves fresh appetizers and snacks while you find the perfect spot on the deck to watch the sun touch the horizon. The moment the last sliver of orange disappears into the Pacific, sometimes accompanied by the rare "green flash," and the sky erupts in stars, is one of those moments that's hard to put into words.
The sunset catamaran is a good fit for couples, friends, and families alike. The atmosphere is intimate and personal, never crowded or rushed.
