Thank you for your interest in our Costa Rica Kayak Tours for 2024!
We are offering two seven-day tours in February. See below for dates.
We are based in Drake Bay near Corcovado National Park in the southwest corner of Costa Rica. This is an area known for its calm beautiful shorelines and is one of the most biologically complex wild areas in the world.
Our tours are designed as 'soft' adventures, offering scenic paddling in protected waters with unusually calm seas, hiking, comfortable accommodations, delicious local food, and flexible itineraries.
What makes our tours most unique is group size, which typically ranges from 2 - 6, ensuring a personalized experience. We use fiberglass single Canadian kayaks in waters suitable for beginners to experienced, returning to our comfy guest house each afternoon, where most meals will be served!
Photos for both the kayaking and birding trip can be found here

Despite its small size, Costa Rica offers a wide range of habitats, allowing for a spectacular level of biodiversity that draws nature lovers from around the world. Osa Peninsula wildlife features howler, squirrel, and white-faced monkeys, sloths, coatamundis, toucans, and the rare Scarlet Macaw.
Corcovado National Park, and the Osa Peninsula in southwestern Costa Rica, is the most species rich area in Central America. The peninsula offers a visual feast of wildlife. It is home to the brilliant Scarlet Macaw, the highest trees in the nation, 365 species of birds, 140 types of mammals, 117 types of reptiles and amphibians, and over 40 species of freshwater fish. There are 13 major ecosystems nearby. Owing to its isolation, biological diversity, and its large tracts of old growth forest, the Osa Peninsula is one of Costa Rica’s richest natural areas.
National Geographic has referred to it as “the most biologically intense place on Earth.”
Costa Rica is a democratic nation that has no standing army, one of the best public education systems in Latin America, and a population that enjoys good healthcare.
