Punta Mona by Boat
Punta Mona lies deep in the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, south of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limón, where the coast road ends. No road reaches it: you arrive on foot or, on this tour, by boat, on a 20–30 minute ride from Manzanillo past hidden beaches and wide ocean views.

The ride is part of the experience. The boat follows a coastline protected as a wildlife refuge since 1985, where the forest meets the shore and small beaches appear around each point, the kind you would never find from land.
At Punta Mona, a remote sanctuary rich in biodiversity, you first explore the coastline and then land on its secluded beach, where your local guide shares the true history of the place and its natural charm. Tropical fruit is included, as are life jackets and insurance.
It is made for nature lovers who want to discover a less-known corner of the Southern Caribbean. Prefer to arrive on foot? The Punta Mona hike crosses the same refuge by trail and returns by boat.

Questions
Can I combine the Punta Mona boat trip with dolphin watching?
The easiest way to enjoy both is our Dolphin Watching tour. It leaves Manzanillo by boat, follows the coast toward Punta Mona, heads into open water to look for wild dolphins, and finishes with time to relax and swim on Punta Mona Beach. If you would rather spend your time exploring Punta Mona's coastline and hearing its history from a local guide, choose this boat tour.
