Boutique expedition ship
Explore the wild Pacific coast of Costa Rica aboard M/Y Kontiki Wayra, the first expedition ship to travel these rich, rarely sailed routes and reach remote areas inaccessible to others. The 40-meter superyacht falls into the highest luxury segment and is designed for travelers who want to combine the intimacy of a private yacht with the facilities of a luxury hotel. Whereas many traditional superyachts have opted for gleaming marble and cold chrome, the Wayra features a warm, natural and deeply rooted local style. The interior is chic but understated, emphasizing craftsmanship and connection to the natural environment.
Pura Vida Expeditions
During shore excursions, you will explore the Costa Rican wilderness. Accompanied by experienced guides, you will trek through Corcovado National Park, where you will see howler monkeys, sloths, and macaws in their natural habitat. You will anchor at Alcatraz Island, a remote retreat where you can paddleboard, kayak, and snorkel along the pristine coastline. There is also room for action and cultural interaction: from rafting on the Savegre River to learning about Tico culture during a visit to a local cacao plantation. Where the world can't find you...
