While the diving near Potrero gives you unparalleled access to the Catalinas and Bat Islands, the town is also the ideal hub for all your land and sea adventures. Situated directly on the bay, Potrero offers excellent opportunities for sport fishing, where you can head out for half or full-day charters targeting species like Marlin and Tuna. For a more relaxed afternoon, join a sunset cruise to witness the spectacular Pacific twilight from the water. On shore, you can explore the rugged terrain of Guanacaste's dry forest on a guided horseback riding tour, or get a faster-paced view of the area by taking an ATV tour through the backroads and hills, discovering lesser-known spots. For a full-day inland excursion, Potrero is perfectly positioned for trips to Rincon de la Vieja National Park, allowing you to experience the volcano's famous hot springs and mud baths. Whatever you're looking for—from ocean exploration to mountain adventure—Potrero puts you right at the center of it.
THE DIVE LOG
Ready to see what the surface of the Pacific holds? After you've explored the depths, switch gears and experience the world-class sport fishing that puts Guanacaste on the map. We are proud to partner with Fish Potrero, the area's premier charter operation, to offer our clients an epic day on the water.
Whether you're after the acrobatic, prized Sailfish and powerful Marlin offshore, or you want to stay closer to the coast to battle the iconic Roosterfish and delicious Red Snapper, their expert captains know exactly where the bite is hot.
Fish Potrero runs top-tier boats with all the necessary gear and experienced guides, ensuring a fun, safe, and exhilarating trip. It’s an essential Pura Vida adventure for anyone looking to complete their Costa Rican ocean experience. Plus, they offer post-trip fish preparation, so you can truly enjoy the fresh catch of the day!
Ready for a change of pace from the blue Pacific? We trust our partner Costa Rica Wet and Wild to get your adrenaline pumping on land. They offer two quintessential Costa Rican adventures right outside of Potrero. You can get dirty and explore the Guanacaste countryside on an ATV Tour, blasting down rugged jungle trails, splashing through scenic river crossings, and climbing mountains for breathtaking panoramic views of the coast. This is the perfect way to see authentic Costa Rican villages and hidden gems that big buses can't reach. For a high-flying rush, experience the jungle canopy from a completely new perspective on a Zipline Adventure. You'll soar through the treetops on a series of cables and platforms, sometimes with an extreme option like a Tarzan swing, making it a fantastic way to spot local wildlife like monkeys and exotic birds. Choose a single thrill or combine the two for an action-packed day of true Costa Rican adventure!

If you're looking to bypass the huge party boats for a real sailing trip, you need to book the Seneca. She’s a beautiful, classic 38-foot sloop (a monohull, not a giant catamaran) that offers one of the best intimate day charters in Guanacaste. This is strictly a small-group experience, perfect for up to eight guests, so the crew is focused entirely on your party and what you want to do. You’ll sail along the stunning coastline, often catching better wind than the bigger vessels, and drop anchor at clear coves ideal for snorkeling or just swimming in the Pacific. It's a premium, personalized way to enjoy the Gold Coast—less of a tour, more of a private day on the water with a dedicated crew, great refreshments, and the absolute best sunset views you can find off the beaches of Potrero. Highly recommend booking a sunset sail.
