Lazy Lizard is the original catamaran company in Flamingo and Tamarindo area, with over 20 years experience creating unforgettable memories for all our travelers. Our catamaran tour starts at the Flamingo Marina where our professional, friendly and experienced crew welcome you aboard. Breath in the refreshing Pacific Ocean breeze while being served refreshing drinks by our attentive crew. You will be sailing along the golden coast of Costa Rica where you have the opportunity to see the vast marine life the area has to offer (dolphins, whales, Manta Rays and more).
The captain will take you to a crystal water point where you can play in the water, snorkel with a guide or individually to explore the reef, kayak or relax onboard the boat. After, we will restore your energy with a delicious tropical midday meal (gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options are available).

This was actually our second time sailing with the Lazy Lizard and they continued to be an excellent choice for a boat tour! My husband and I did a sunset cruise on an anniversary trip four years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it so when we decided to bring our six year old on her first international trip to Costa Rica, we knew that we needed to add them to our itinerary again!
This time we chose the morning cruise and would highly recommend, especially if you are traveling with kiddos! It was a little more relaxed and laid back and I felt like we got more time in the water. The captain and staff were excellent and so very hospitable; they hit that hard-to achieve balance of both letting you enjoy your time without being in the way, yet appearing with a drink or a helpful tip at the exact moment you needed something.
The meeting process is super easy, the “blue steps” at the beach are clearly marked and simple to find, as was parking along the road. The scenery along the sailing route is of course is beautiful and we dropped anchor in a lovely inlet where we all got the opportunity to choose to ocean swim, lounge on the “Lilly pad,” snorkel, kayak or paddle board. For anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable in the water, they have pool noodles you can use (recommended even for strong swimmers as it helped us see where everyone was) or choose a life jacket, or just stay and lounge on the boat! They provide all the gear you need for anything you choose to do.
While we all played in the water, the crew put out an incredible brunch spread with burritos, fruit, cookies and much more and there is an open bar available the entire trip that includes unlimited drinks of everything you can imagine from sodas to rum punch.
Before we went, I had a question about the booking process and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate and respond quickly. Their customer service is top-notch.
My family all agrees that this was the absolute highlight of everything we did on our week-long trip, and we will definitely book again the next time we are in Costa Rica. The best experience ever! Book it!

We took 11 high school senior boys that had Recently graduated From high school And 4 dads on this morning cruise. It was amazing. Everyone loved the activities and the food and the music. Jordan was a great host and he even let us fish. Franklin was also awesome, Helping everyone with snorkeling. And Luis was the best captain ever. I am definitely going to try and bring my family back to do that excursion again. Thank you for a memorable experience.

We had an incredible fun and relaxing morning on the Lazy Lizard. It was 5 adults and 4 children (between ages 5-7). We were picked up at our resort and driven to the nearby harbor, boarded a dingy and then brought on board the catamaran. It was clean and safety was their #1 priority. They originally took us to a cove so kids could snorkel without waves but Captain made decision to pull up anchor within 10 minutes because he deemed it not safe for the kids. I appreciate that they put safety first! They took us to another spot that was equally beautiful and we were able to snorkel, paddle board and swim for over an hour. We were fed great food and given limitless alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. The captain and his first mates were friendly, knowledgeable and great w our kiddos. I loved it so much wish I could do it again tomorrow!

We had an absolutely amazing morning on the Lazy Lizard. Our crew Mail, Xavier and Pablino were so good to us. It was a windy day but they safely got us to our destination, served us a delicious lunch, took us snorkeling and kept the bar rolling. We even caught a fish!!! Such excitement. Thank you again. We highly recommend this excursion!

The morning catamaran was great for our family, which includes a 3 and a 5 year old. The staff were super friendly and attentive. I wasn't sure how much snorkeling our kids could do, but they provided Zayaks for the little ones to lay on top of and look at fish through the window, making the snorkeling fun for everyone!

We did the morning catamaran trip twice with 2 different groups of family. Our first captain, Luis, and crew of Eric and Luisito treated us like royalty- somehow we were the only 6 who booked that particular day! Luisito was amazing with our grandkids, diving for cool underwater creatures for them to see. Lunch was delicious , and the libations flowed! We enjoyed our trip immensely.
2 weeks later we went again w/ all adults. There were more guests on board this time, but that didn't change the great experience we had. This time it was Captain Josue, with Franklin and Luisito, again. They all go the extra mile to make sure everyone has a great time, truly interacting with the guests.
We recommend this company wholeheartedly and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
