Travel safe with us!

Inspection ICTThe last months we have worked on improving our tours to have an even better experience to offer now that we can resume operations. A big part of this has of course been the adjustments we have to make to fulfill the sanitary protocol now needed due to Covid-19.

We are happy to inform that we scored 100% on today’s surprise inspection from ICT (the National Institute of Tourism).

It is very important for us that our activities are safe for both travelers and our staff.

We are committed to always follow the protocols, and we do expect the same from our clients.

By nature our activities are convenient in the scene that we only operate with smaller groups and in open air. With us you will be out on the water in a boat, kayak or paddle board – away from crowds and high risk areas.

A big thank you to all of you that have shared your experience with us on TripAdvisor!
We are proud to announce that thanks to the preference of all of you, Tripadvisor recognizes us with this achievement, despite the fact that it has not been an easy year.

We are reopening carefully now, and are motivated by this award! There are good times to come!

Bioluminescent bay kayak tour

Like swimming in a starry sky

If you want to experience something really out of this world, you should definitely try the bioluminescent bay kayak tour conducted by the Bahia Rica Fishing & Kayak Lodge. 

Imagine kayaking at night in water that turns light blue at the touch of your hand. It’s like swimming in a starry sky, with fish moving around you, creating little comets of light, while your paddle creates galaxies in the water. It’s really a once-in-a-lifetime experience that no one should miss.” Writes Patrick Goodness, in an article in The Luxury Couple about his life and experiences in Costa Rica.

Patrick has lived in Costa Rica for 10 years, and in this article he shares with us some of his favorite places to visit, and activities to do. The bioluminescent kayak tour and Sport fishing with Bahia Rica is among those favorites. Read about how Bahia Rica is his ‘go-to’ team for fishing and snorkeling trips in the Gulf of Nicoya.

Birds Eye view

Bahia Rica Fishing and Kayak Lodge seen from a different angle.

You will always have activities to enjoy when you are staying at Bahia Rica: swimming, sea kayaking, fishing, bird watching, snorkeling or just go for a lovely walk.

But you can also  just  relax with the sea view and jungle sounds at the beach or in a hammock. Enjoy the pleasure of having your own exotic retreat in a small fishing village. There is an abundance of wild life here, the howler monkeys comes around almost daily and we often spot other animals such as armadillos, squirrels, coaties, iguanas and kinkajous. The diversity of birds and marine life is also rich, so make sure to have your camera ready.

Our beach is away from the road so it is very private. It is a typical “tidal beach” which means that it is nice and big when the tide is down, while the high tide comes all the way up to the palm trees. The water is always calm here as we are on the inside of the gulf.

Our kitchen with dining area is situated only 50 meters back from the beach, so from your breakfast table you can just stroll down to the water and start enjoying your day!

From Simons blog from Isla Tortuga:

“A boat tour to Tortuga Island was a surprise I prepared for my significant other at the end of our trip to Costa Rica. Tortuga Island is perfectly nested in the southern part of the Gulf of Nicoya where it almost meets the Pacific Ocean”.
