See the Tour →Playa Potrero sits at the heart of Guanacaste's Gold Coast, which makes it one of the best-placed launch points for water tours anywhere on the Pacific side. From the calm morning waters of the bay to the reefs and islands just offshore, you're minutes from snorkeling, sailing, and sunset cruises without the crowds or the long drive.
Whether you're staying in Potrero, Flamingo, or anywhere along the coast, we help you find the right tour for your group — family-friendly snorkel trips, laid-back catamaran sails, or a full day out on the water. Every tour we book runs with local operators we know and trust.
Fish Potrero started on the water, but Guanacaste has far more to offer than a great fishing charter. The same coast that makes for world-class inshore and offshore fishing also gives you clear snorkeling reefs, wildlife-rich estuaries, and some of the most reliable sunsets in Costa Rica.
These tours are built for everyone in the group — the ones who want to fish, and the ones who'd rather snorkel, sail, or just take it all in. Book them alongside your charter or on their own.
