The boat side of Sámara: dolphin and whale safaris, snorkelling and kayak trips to Isla Chora, mangrove paddles, sunset cruises and fishing, all off the beach at Playa Sámara.
The bay's reef breaks the swell, which is what makes this one of the calmer stretches of the Guanacaste coast and the reason the kayak trips run when they would not elsewhere.
