Two fantastic snorkeling options await in Puerto Jimenez along Costa Rica’s Golfo Dulce. I’m especially fond of the Kayaking & Snorkeling Challenge at Mogos – it’s a wonderful blend of paddling and underwater exploration with knowledgeable local guides.
The Sandalo Reefs tour is equally impressive, combining kayaking with excellent marine life viewing. Both tours include gear and lunch, though they’re not suitable for visitors with physical limitations.
