Tour Toni – Explore Paquera Bay Your Way

Sometimes the best way to discover Paquera Bay is simply to head out on the water with a local captain who knows the area.

Tour Toni is the name local captain Toni Ibarra has given to his small, flexible boat tours around Paquera and the Gulf of Nicoya. Instead of following one fixed itinerary, Toni can tailor the trip to what his guests would like to experience.

Snorkeling, Isla Tortuga, Playa Quesera, San Lucas Island, quiet beaches and islands, wildlife, sunset or Paquera's famous bioluminescence after dark – tell Toni what interests you, and he can suggest an itinerary.

A local captain with deep roots in the Gulf

Toni's connection to the sea goes well beyond tourism. He is a representative of AQUALBOR, the local association behind a marine aquaculture project in the Gulf of Nicoya and the Brisas de la Bahía floating restaurant, located between Isla Cedros and Isla Jesusita.

His experience gives him a close connection to the waters, islands and coastal communities around Paquera.

Small boat, flexible experience

Tour Toni operates with a traditional panga-style boat, making the tours best suited for couples, families and other small groups.

The flexibility is one of the main advantages. You can contact Toni, tell him what you would like to see or do and how much time you have, and he will help put together a trip that fits. If you're not sure where to go, he can suggest a route based on the conditions and your interests.
