A description of the catamaran tour

By now you are probably wondering the details of the catamaran coastal cruise in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.  The first part is by picking you up at your Hotel or Villa.  Afterwards, you are brought down to the Marina Pez Vela where you will be greeted by the staff of the catamaran tour who will take you to the boat.  Once you are aboard, you will receive a short safety instruction by your guide.   

The cruise will start by visiting the beaches of the Manuel Antonio National Park.  The crew on the boat will then go searching for dolphins and other marine life.  Typically this can be noticed by flying birds as they represent a signal of activity underwater.  Once you have had the opportunity to see marine life, you will then go snorkeling in a nearby reef.  This reef provides a wonderful variety of small reef fish for you to see.   You don`t have to worry about brining your own snorkeling equipment, as this is provided for you during the catamaran tour.   

Some people decide to stay near the boat because it has a waterslide and when the boat is stopped, you can take advantage of the waterslide on the back to slide into the pacific ocean. 

When you are done snorkeling, it will be time to serve you the complete meal provided during the cruise.  This meal is rice, fish and vegetables.  Everything is prepared fresh on the boat during the cruise, so nothing is frozen.   There is a chef on the boat who is responsible for preparing the meal for you. 

The beautiful coast of Manuel Antonio is sure to cause a great first impression.  The catamaran tour gives you a great view of the entire coast of Manuel Antonio, one that you can´t get from other activities.  This is a great tour to enjoy being out at sea and a fantastic way of relaxing and take in all of the gorgeous scenery.

The Catamaran Tour is Very Safe

For those who haven`t been cruising on a catamaran boat, let me be the first to say that it is extremely safe.  The entire catamaran tour in Manuel Antonio is always staying close to shore and the boat goes at a very slow speed.  The catamaran boats are also equipped with life jackets and all of the safety equipment.
