We were visited by Jana and Arlene from the Costa Rica Travel Girl’s Guide
.
Costa Rica Travel Girl’s Guide is a bit of hybrid. Part online magazine. Part travel blog.
It’s about a learning to truly live life and embrace Pura Vida (Good Health).
Knowing these two ladies the web page will be packed with exciting things to do and nice places to stay in Costa Rica.
This is their first article about kayaking.
Teletica Canal 7 the most popular TV channel in Costa Rica is broadcasting from the event we had here at Bahia Rica kayak and fishing lodge the first week of October: The World Skill competitions in Sport fishing (INA Olympiadas).
The program was boradcasted in the program “7dias”.
You can see the whole broadcast from Teletica online HERE. And for those who does not speak Spanish, don’t worry there there is a lot of good footage to enjoy.
We are proud to anounce that we are supporting a great reforestation project here on the Nicoya Peninsula: The Green Imprint Project.
We are very happy to announce this Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor. We are very fortunate to receive so many great people that join our tours or stay at the lodge! Thank you everyone for sharing your experience with us at Bahia Rica with other travellers!
Sport fishing fans in the country now can file their requests for fishing licenses online.
Previously, fishing licenses could only be obtained at the offices of the Costa Rican Fisheries Institute (INCOPESCA). But now the entire process – including payment – can be completed online.
Each registered user can add other people, meaning a fisherman can process licenses for everyone on a fishing trip.
A license costs $15 for up to 8 days, $30 per month or $50 for a year. The price is the same for nationals and foreigners.
NB! You need a Costa Rican Fishing license.
Licenses can be purchased online.

Make sure to print a copy of the payment and bring it with you on your fishing trip together with a copy of your identification / passport.
The bioluminescence has been very strong lately and usually stays quite good all of the dry season. If you have never seen this it is just so different and a mind blowing fenomenon. Join us for a tour today.
The fishing has been very good lately, especially for dorados which are in close in big numbers. Don’t wait as these fish will be gone by January!
Don’t let the day end when the sun goes down!
We offer a guided kayak adventure after sunset. Under the blanket of the night sky you can touch the water that glows with bioluminescent plankton.
One of the most spectacular sights on a night trip in the Gulf of Nicoya is to witness hundreds of tiny star-like bioluminescent plankton scintillating like a starry sky as you move through dark water. Wave your paddle through the water in front of you, and be mersmerized by the tiny glowing specs of plankton or Dinofagellates which are small unicellular marine plankton.
An adventure not to me missed while in Costa Rica! Join us on this fully guided night tour into one of the most amazing phenomena of the world. Paddle your way through the calm water of the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica. Here you will meet our glowing friends, the Dinofagellates, a microscopic plankton capable of producing natural light at the touch of your hand.
Our unique night kayak tour gives you a facinating encounter with billions of bioluminescent organisms, watch how every stroke of your paddles leaves behind a glowing swirl of blue light, and fish light up their path like shooting stars in the water.
The adventure in the Gulf of Nicoya at night can only be described as magical, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Our 1/2 day of inshore fishing takes you on an adventure in search of fish such as roosterfish, jack crevalle, bigeye trevally, needlefish, skipjack tuna, barracuda, snapper and groupers. If the dorados are running we can also target these on a 1/2 day trip as they are close to shore. We can do a morning or afternoon trip depending on the tides. This is an ideal trip for families as well as the seasoned angler.
We troll live or dead bait, fish poppers, jig, bottom fish and even fish flies to catch the fish we are fishing after. All of our 1/2 day inshore fishing trips include cold beverages, lunch, snacks and fruit. All you need to bring is a good hat, possible long sleeve shirt, rain gear in the rainy season (May – Oct), sunscreen, sunglasses and your good luck fishing charm.
