Explore the fascinating world between land and sea on a guided intertidal tour led by a knowledgeable local guide. Walk along the rocky shoreline near Flamingo or explore the coastal rocks between Playa Danta and Playa Dantita, discovering distinct tidal zones filled with marine life and hidden tide pools.

This hands-on experience is educational, engaging, and fun. Guests are also invited to participate in our Citizen Science initiative, where you will search for, observe, and help document marine and intertidal species—contributing valuable data to the iNaturalist Costa Rica database.

Tour timing is carefully adjusted to tides and sea conditions to ensure the best possible exploration. We will confirm the optimal start time with you in advance—typically scheduled from low to mid tide. If you have any questions or are unsure about timing, please feel free to reach out to Link Expeditions.

This unique outdoor experience is ideal for families, nature lovers, and anyone curious about coastal and marine ecosystems. In addition to intertidal exploration, enjoy snorkeling in the warm tropical waters of Guanacaste’s North Pacific. Snorkeling gear and field guides are provided. Fresh fruit and water are included to keep you refreshed after your adventure.
