Playa Muertos Costa Rica Tour – Hidden Paradise with Snorkeling & Adventure
Set sail from Cabuya aboard our iconic boat, The Tipsy Gull, and discover Playa Muertos—one of Costa Rica’s best-kept secrets on the Nicoya Peninsula. This secluded paradise, only accessible by sea, welcomes you with calm turquoise waters, soft golden sands, and the shade of palm trees.
Along the way, enjoy a scenic ride across the coast while keeping an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, and incredible views of the Nicoya landscape. If the tide permits, we’ll also take a detour into the nearby mangrove forest of Pochote, where you can spot unique plants and wildlife in this fascinating ecosystem.
Once at Playa Muertos, we’ll provide snorkeling gear so you can explore the vibrant underwater world with our guide. Afterward, relax on the beach, swim in the gentle waves, or simply soak up the sun in total tranquility.
To keep your energy up, we’ll serve a light snack of fresh tropical fruits, soft drinks, and a delicious sandwich—the perfect touch to a day of relaxation and adventure.
Escape the crowds and enjoy nature at its finest—this is Playa Muertos, your own private slice of paradise in Costa Rica.
