The Experience
What your day looks like
Over 3 days we will paddle in calm bays with fascinating islands where you can go ashore on untouched virgin beaches. Rocky reefs with a diverse marine life can be observed from your sea kayak, or you can jump in the water and take a closer look at snorkeling. The jungle is growing right into the sea, and paddling in the mangroves gives a unique experience and possibility to also look at the wildlife along the shore. A very special treat on this multi-day trip is the night kayaking: A Bioluminescent Sea Kayak Adventure. Visible light made by living creatures is known as bioluminescence. The water around your sea kayak will light up as you create waves, and every paddle stroke is like fireworks. The scenery while kayaking is simply unique, bring your camera and sense of adventure to this unforgettable Costarican experience!
