Full Day Sea Kayak Tour
What your day looks like
The gulf of Nicoya is truly one of the most spectacular destinations for sea kayaking in Costa Rica. We go way off the tourist path on our full day sea kayak tour. The islands and beaches in the area are either uninhabited, or we can encounter local villages. Teeming with fish, we’ll snorkel at every opportunity and take in the wonders of the underwater world. Or we’ll explore mangrove forests and slow-running rivers that offer a habitat for different wildlife.

The journey, in full
Your full-day sea kayak tour starts between 8-9 am with basic kayaking instruction at the Bahia Rica beach. With gear, water, snacks, and lunch packed in our kayaks we head out on the water. The destinations are numerous depending on the tide, the current, wind, and your level of experience. To mention some examples, we can visit the endangered Spider monkeys at a nearby island, go snorkeling, explore the Paquera mangroves, or kayak around some of the bird islands. Spectacular views and rugged coastline will be experienced, as well as virgin beaches and small fishing villages. We will normally kayak for 1 - 2 hours between the different short beach stops. We’ll have a longer break for lunch and some shore exploration and swimming. We will be back at the Bahia Rica beach at about 4 pm.
