Description
Paddling a kayak on the open ocean can be an exciting way to
experience Costa Rica's marine and coastal wonders, and several
companies offer sea kayaking tours along different parts of the
Pacific coast. Sea kayaking is much easier than river kayaking,
and most trips can be done by people who have never tried the
sport before.
A sea kayaking tour is an opportunity to get a close
look at the myriad of life below and above the ocean's
surface -- from flying fish and sea turtles to frigate
birds and pelicans -- and to explore some hard to reach
offshore islands and coastal estuaries. Outfitters
currently offer sea kayaking tours in the Bahia
Culebra, out of Guanacaste's Hermosa Beach, around the
islands and estuaries near Manuel Antonio and Curu
National Wildlife Refuge, and the Golfo Dulce area, out
of Puerto Jimenez and Golfito.
