If you snorkel at better spots near Jaco Beach, such as Playa Blanca, Isla Tortuga, or Manuel Antonio, you can expect to see a variety of tropical fish and marine life, including:


Angelfish - Colorful and commonly found in rocky reef areas

Ā Parrotfish -Recognizable by their beak-like mouths and bright colors

Ā Butterflyfish ā€œ Small, vibrant, and often seen in pairs

Surgeonfish (Blue Tang) Similar to Dory from Finding Nemo

Wrasse Small, elongated fish that are very active

Pufferfish ā€œ Can inflate when threatened

Moray Eels - Often hiding in crevices but occasionally spotted

Ā Snapper & Jacks - Common around rocky reefs and deeper waters

Ā Spotted Eagle Rays -Occasionally seen gliding through clear waters


If you head to a tour with www.SnorkelJaco.com the snorkeling is even better, with possible sightings of octopuses, sea turtles, and even reef sharks in deeper areas.
