Overview

The Playa Fantasia Day Tour on the Sealounge Catamaran departs at 11 am from Playa Herradura near Jaco. Guests are transported privately from the operator’s office to Playa Herradura, where they board the 50-foot Sealounge catamaran via small tenders. The catamaran sails for 40 minutes across the Gulf of Nicoya to Playa Fantasia, a beach accessible only by boat. Playa Fantasia is located between two mountain ranges and protected by volcanic reefs. The beach features white sand, turquoise waters, reef formations, and surrounding jungle inhabited by wildlife such as monkeys, scarlet macaws, sloths, and turtles. The tour lasts approximately 4.5 hours in total. At Playa Fantasia, guests have access to snorkeling gear (unguided), paddleboards, boogie boards, a surfboard, hammocks, and beach loungers. Fresh fruit is served throughout the trip. A fresh lunch prepared by a private chef is served on the beach. The bar offers a selection of drinks including pina coladas, margaritas, mojitos, beer, soda, and water. Alcoholic beverages are provided only to guests over 18 years old. Towels are not included, so guests should bring their own. Snorkeling and use of boards require presenting ID. Banana boat rides can be requested before the tour for an additional fee. The operator notes that weather and ocean conditions during the rainy season from May 15 to December 15 may affect snorkeling quality. If snorkeling conditions are poor, other activities such as soccer and beach volleyball are available on the beach. The tour is suitable for families, couples, and singles seeking a quieter alternative to Tortuga Island. The crew reserves the right to refuse service to intoxicated passengers and to stop alcohol service if safety is affected. Guests should be prepared to spend time in direct or indirect sunlight, and spray sunscreens are not allowed on board for safety reasons.
