You haven’t seen the Caribe Sur until you’ve seen it from the Sea! We offer a variety of options to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean from a comfortable and safe boat. Whether it’s the adventure of catching a feisty Tarpon,finding your pura vida among a pod of Atlantic Bottle Nose dolphins, or free diving for lobster and octopus, you’re sure to enjoy a day on the azure sea with the emerald green jungle in the distance.
Puerto Viejo Fishing VacationsOur Captain, Pino, was born and raised here in Puerto Viejo, and has been fishing the Southern Caribbean reefs for more than 30 years. Many people say he’s the best part of the whole adventure, and we tend to agree.
Tours begin and end in the small marina in centro Puerto Viejo, near the Parquecito restaurant. Special arrangements can be made for pick-up/drop-off in Cahuita or Manzanillo, or even, weather permitting, Punta Uva or Playa Chiquita.
Costa Rica TravelBe aware - almost all car rental agencies will reserve a $1,000 deductable on your credit card just in case you damage the car. They don't always tell you this as they take your card information and on more than one occasion a tourist with a low card limit ran out of credit in the middle of their vacation. We have a listing of Costa Rica car rental agencies for your convenience.
If your plans are to visit popular beaches and the main tourist attractions in the Central Valley area (where roads are pretty good quality), any compact car will do the job for you. If you intend to drive to Monteverde Cloud Forest or through Tilaran to Arenal from Cañas, we recommend you rent a 4x4. Keep your Costa Rica ravel fun by being prepared in advanced ;)
Be Smart About When to Come
If you insist on sunshine every day, plan your Costa Rica vacation for after December 15 through the holiday season and before April 15. This time of year is known as the dry season. If you are willing to put up with a bit of rain (usually in the afternoons), visit between April 15 and December 15 - aka the green season. There will be less tourists during the green season and you'll get better prices from some hotels and tour operators. Keep in mind the holiday seasons. The entire country closes for about a week during Christmas and Easter, and the beaches are packed with locals and tourists. We have prepared more information about Costa Rica weather, safety, what to bring and visa requirements for your convenience.
