Curu Sea Kayak

With 635 miles of shoreline along the Pacific Coast and 132 miles on the Caribbean, Costa Rica offers unequaled opportunity to enjoy the rapidly growing sport of sea kayaking.
 
Day 1: Depart San Jose early in the morning for the Pacific Coast city of Puntarenas, from where we ferry across the Gulf of Nicoya to Playa Paquera. From there, drive 30 minutes to the Silvestre Curú National Wildlife Refuge. Upon arrival, you will receive a short briefing on sea kayaking safety. We will paddle about an hour along the coast to our camp on Playa Quesera, a beautiful, deserted, white sand beach backed by thick forest. Playa Quesera will be our base camp for the duration of the trip. After a delicious dinner, you can sleep in our comfortable tents or under the stars in a hammock.

Day 2-3: We will spend these two days enjoying nature’s bounty in the area – paddling to Las Islas Tortugas and a natural rock arch formed by the sea, surf kayaking, and drifting through a mangrove estuary inhabited by numerous species of birds and colorful crabs. This balmy tropical paradise is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the clear emerald green sea and native wildlife. Evenings are for star-gazing, crab hunting and simply enjoying the tranquility of the forest and sea. Overnight at Playa Quesera.

Day 4: We will go for our last paddle in the morning back to the main beach where we began. Then after lunch, we will meet the ferry back to Puntarenas and drive to San Jose.
