Guided Cahuita reef snorkeling, rainforest trails and Caribbean coastal villages
Pick an activity mode to compare signature sites, skill fit, and gear planning notes before you lock your trip.
Unlike the country's Pacific dive hubs, local Caribbean scuba has a smaller, more conditional footprint. Punta Uva Dive Center advertises guided fun dives, introductory experiences and PADI courses from Punta Uva. Costa Rica Tourism Board recognizes reefs around Cahuita and Gandoca-Manzanillo but does not establish an operator's current departures or marine-park scuba permit. Ask for the exact authorized dive site and sea forecast. Do not assume that a snorkel-only marine route is open to tanks, or that a listed course runs every week.
