ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES

Deep Sea Fishing Alternatives
For those that are not sport fishing everyday, or just wanting a change, here is a list of some of the local activities that might intererest you.

INSHORE FISHING:In addition to the KINGFISHER, we have an 18ft. shaded skiff, The Tavarua that offers affordable sport fishing and short boat tours. You can check out the sea life, or maybe swim with the DOLPHINS.

KAYAKING: POPOS, a local kayaking company, offers leisurely kayak trips down a seldom-explored jungle river (depends on water level). This scenic trip culminates with a lunch at the mouth of the river, opening to a beautiful uncrowned beach. This is just one of several trips offered.

HORSEBACK RIDING: Try your place in the saddle and pick your way along jungle trails or gallop along uninterrupted stretches of deserted beaches.

Horses are abundant in Playa Carillo

MOUNTAIN BIKING: This sport has gained increased momentum and popularity in Costa Rica, and it is no wonder with the numerous back roads and trails to explore, for everyone from novice to expert.

CANOPY TOURS:Take a short trip suspended from cables strung through the jungle canopy, for a bird's eye view of this lush unspoiled setting.

BIRD WATCHING; see everything from spoonbills to parrots. There are over 800 different species of birds in Costa Rica, making this a premier destination for birders.

SURFING, BODYSURFING and SWIMMING for those wanting to stay by the water, Carrillo or other near-by beaches offer the right conditions for your pleasure.

TOURS: Vans to other areas (Volcanos, Caves, Beaches, And Rainforests) can easily be arranged but will normally take a whole day of your time.

FOUR WHEELERS: The newest tour being offered for the more adventurous, are guided tours on four wheelers, this has already been a big hit with many of our customers wanting to explore a little more of the area in a less than conventional manner.

DIVING: We include this just because so many people ask. This area is not a diving destination, but if you have a mask and snorkel you can find a little sea life around the area the boats are moored in. You have a better chance of using your mask and snorkel offshore while fishing, especially if we run into a cooperative school of porpoise!

ULTRA LIGHTS- Get a real birds eye view and take a tour in a two-man ultra light from our near by airstrip.
