Setting Sail from Potrero

The sun was just beginning to cast its golden glow over the Pacific as we set off from Potrero Beach. The anticipation was palpable, the kind that only comes when you’re about to embark on an adventure that promises the unexpected. As a seasoned surfer, I’ve spent countless hours riding the waves, but this time, I was trading my board for a boat, eager to explore the ocean from a different vantage point.

Our private charter was a cozy vessel, perfect for an intimate group, and it felt like we had the entire ocean to ourselves. The crew was welcoming, offering us refreshments and fresh fruit as we settled in. The boat gently rocked as we cruised away from the shore, the familiar sound of waves lapping against the hull. It was a serene start to what would become an unforgettable day.

Dancing Dolphins and Rays

As we ventured further into the open sea, the excitement of spotting dolphins was ever-present. The crew, experienced and knowledgeable, guided us to the best locations for dolphin watching. And soon enough, there they were—playful dolphins leaping through the water, their sleek bodies glistening in the sun. It was a sight that never fails to captivate, no matter how many times you’ve seen it.

We were also treated to the spectacle of stingrays gracefully gliding beneath the surface, their movements almost hypnotic. Though we didn’t spot any whales, the abundance of marine life was more than enough to keep us enthralled. The ocean was alive with activity, a reminder of the vibrant ecosystem that thrives just beneath the waves.

A Sunset to Remember

As the day drew to a close, the sky transformed into a canvas of oranges, pinks, and purples. Watching the sunset from the water was a magical experience, one that seemed to pause time itself. The horizon stretched endlessly, and for a moment, it felt like we were the only ones in the world.

Reflecting on the day’s adventure, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to see Costa Rica from such a unique perspective. The ocean has always been my playground, but this tour offered a new way to appreciate its beauty. If you ever find yourself in Potrero, I highly recommend setting aside a day for the Dolphin Watching & Snorkelling Tour. It’s a chance to connect with nature, unwind, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
