Discover different coral species on a snorkelling trip
Cahuita Nationalpark, Costa Rica
Explore the reefs of Punta Cahuita by boat and snorkel with rays and colourful schooling fish in a sea of coral.
What you can experience here
In Cahuita National Park a fascinating underwater world awaits you off Punta Cahuita. Here you glide over living reefs, where rays and colourful schools of parrotfish and surgeonfish dance between the corals. The protected stretch of coast in the south of Costa Rica is a hotspot for biodiversity and sustainable conservation – and invites you to experience the Caribbean side of the country from a new perspective.
With a local guide you set off by boat from the park entrance to two selected snorkelling spots. After a short briefing you discover different coral species on a guided snorkel and encounter butterflyfish, stingrays and, with a bit of luck, also barracudas or eagle rays. In between you enjoy fresh fruit on the beach before the boat takes you back. The guides share their knowledge of marine ecology and ensure your safety, so that even beginners can experience the diversity of the coral reef habitat at first hand.
