Kayak Ocean Cleanup Program: Paddle for a Cleaner Gulf of Nicoya

At Bahía Rica, we believe in protecting the natural beauty of the Gulf of Nicoya, and we’re inviting you to join our mission! Through our Kayak Ocean Cleanup Program, you can combine adventure with making a difference.

We lend out our kayaks free of charge to anyone willing to dedicate some time to paddling through the stunning Paquera Bay while collecting floating garbage. This initiative is a hands-on way to help preserve the pristine waters and marine life we all cherish.

While some debris may wash up on the beaches, much of it floats in the ocean, harming wildlife and disrupting the ecosystem. By participating in the cleanup, you’re not only enjoying the breathtaking surroundings but also playing an active role in restoring the bay’s natural balance.

Every effort counts, and together, we can make a significant impact. So, grab a paddle, enjoy the beauty of the Gulf, and help us keep these waters clean for generations to come. Join us in protecting this paradise we call home!

The whales are in and our waters have some of the best whale watching opportunities around. Lots of humpback moms with babies. It is common to also see dolphins, turtles and sometimes other types of whales as well.

Do not miss out on the opportunity to a close encounter with these gentle giants. We see them plentiful here in the Gulf of Nicoya in August, September and some whales hang out for a while in October and November as well.

Enjoy Isla Tortuga in the Low Season

June 23, 2024 admin

Escape the ordinary and dive into an extraordinary adventure with us here at Bahía Rica Adventures on our day tour to Isla Tortuga. While many flock to this tropical paradise during the high season, the low season offers an equally enchanting, yet more tranquil, experience.

Isla Tortuga, renowned for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, becomes a serene haven during the low season. The island’s natural beauty is undiminished, with lush greenery, vibrant marine life, and stunning landscapes waiting to be explored. The slightly quieter ambiance allows you to immerse yourself fully in the island’s magic without the bustle of larger crowds.

Our day tour starts with a scenic boat ride from Bahía Rica Adventures. As you glide across the calm waters, keep an eye out for rays, turtles and other marine life that often make appearances. The journey itself is a breathtaking introduction to the adventure that lies ahead.

Upon arrival at Isla Tortuga, snorkeling enthusiasts can dive into the warm, inviting waters to discover a colorful underwater paradise teeming with exotic fish and coral reefs. For those who prefer to stay above water, stand-up paddleboarding offers a unique perspective of the island’s coastline, combining adventure with tranquility.

Relaxation is also on the agenda. Lounge on the soft, white sands under the shade of swaying palm trees, or take a leisurely swim in the gentle waves.

A day tour with Bahía Rica Adventures during the low season is more than just a trip; it’s a relaxing escape that reconnects you with nature. With fewer tourists around, you can truly savor the serene beauty of Isla Tortuga. Join us for an unforgettable adventure and discover why the low season is the perfect time to experience this tropical gem.
