Stray cats control

We have 6 cats here at Bahia Rica now. They are all rescues. Lately we have noticed many more stray cats here – and they reproduce very fast.
We constantly find new kittens which we try to find good homes for.

However lately the stray cats are so many and reproducing faster than we can find new homes.

Luckily we found an organization that work with trapping, spaying/neutering and releasing stray cats:
We teamed up with the Chamber of Tourism (Cámara Paquereña de Turismo, Capatur) and invited the Catrix team to Paquera to help us catch the stray cats and castrate them.

It was a great success as we castrated 23 cats in just one day. A big thank you to everyone that donated money or bought lottery tickets to raise the funds to make it possible.

The big surprise for us and the Catrix team was the amount of stray cats In some of the neighborhoods here.
20 of the cats we caught were all from just one street. And we saw at least 30 more cats in just that street.
The over population of cats is out of control.
Catrix immediately scheduled a new castration event in January.

Whale watching season!

The humpback whales are cruising the Costa Rican waters, and these months they come all the way into the gulf. We mostly encounter moms and babies. Book your special trip with us to see these gentle giants now.

We cruise around small islands, past spectacular rocky coast lines and beautiful sand beaches on our search for the whales. Sometimes they hang out more out in the open water, and other times they are all the way in close to shore.

We are very often entertained by the baby jumping and making a show, while the mom swims alongside it. Every so often we are rewarded by a huge breach from the giant mom as well.

We are joining a huge effort on the whole Nicoya Peninsula on September 18th. Together we call on everyone to join us doing massive clean up of the ocean and the beaches of the peninsula.

We are making a difference!

In just 1 year we have removed 2 tons of garbage from the ocean here in the Paquera bay with the help from volunteers!

A big thank you to everyone that have spent some hours in the beautiful Paquera bay kayaking around collecting trash.

We invite everyone to help us BE PART OF THE SOLUTION – NOT THE POLUTTION!

Bahia Rica Adventures works to reduce the amount of garbage floating in our coastal waters. The idea is simple – get a free kayak trip in return for collecting and separating the trash and sharing this on social media. We also share our knowledge, and help people of all ages get out on our beautiful oceans and take action.

We reached another milestone: Since May 2020 we have collected over
2 TON (2000KG!!!!!) of trash from the ocean!

Ocean waste is a global threat – Let’s face it together!
