Bahia Rica Fishing & Kayak Lodge

We love bringing our clients here!!! We bring a group from Canada every year and this year we brought two different groups! The owners are amazing - caring and professional. The guides are exceptional and filled with local knowledge. The lodge is embedded in nature and provides an authentic Costa Rican experience. The tours and experiences are next level. All of this is why we keep coming back and will continue to do so. If you’re planning to be in this area, we highly recommend staying here and taking in their amazing tours including the Bioluminescence and the Tortugas tour.

The bioluminsecent kayak tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide was enthusiastic and informative, and his excitement for the whole experience was contagious. Not that the phenomenon itself isn't breathtaking enough - absolutely unforgettable, and highly recommended!

We started our Costa Rica trip off with the Isla Tortuga boat tour. Would highly recommend; we had such a good time. Our guide was amazing. The snorkeling was really fun, and the meal they made for us on the island was so delicious. It was a great way to spend the day.

There are no words for how amazing this family was! We took the bioluminescence night tour and got the opportunity to meet Luis, he was the most incredible tour guide and was so knowledgeable about all things bioluminescence! We had the most amazing time with him. We enjoyed it so much we went back to their company to do the isla tortuga the next day and got to take a private boat ride with Chato, he was also equally as knowledgeable and friendly. They made us lunch on the island and brought us drinks and fresh fruit. This family owned business has been around for a long time and it shows. They’re so amazing

We had an amazing day with Juan and Isabella! We were even able to see the nursing humpback whales! Jaun gave a great explanation of the islands, and we enjoyed hours of snorkeling. Jaun is a master diver and showed us some amazing sea creatures, like puffer fish and urchins. Isabella made us an incredible lunch on Tortuga Island, where we got to enjoy the beautiful beach. It was an incredible day. We especially enjoyed that it was a private tour with just the four of us. Highly recommend these guys if you're visiting Paquera! Gracias Juan y Isabella!

We did the snorkeling tour to Isla de Tortuga and it was such a nice experience! Our guide Chato was very nice and experienced and Isabella prepared our very delicious lunch. We were lucky and had perfect conditions for snorkeling and were able to see many different animals. I would definitely recommend 🤿🌊

Bahia Rica is run by the nicest couple who made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. Juan was our guide and truly went above and beyond. He was in the water with us the whole time during snorkeling, making sure we felt safe and comfortable. We saw the most adorable fish - pufferfish, starfish, and so many colorful little creatures. It was magical. The food was all absolutely delicious. Isabella is a star in the kitchen, and the vegetable ceviche in the coconut was such a nice touch! Overall the entire experience was so thoughtfully curated and had such a homey, personal touch. Highly recommend!

The crew at Bahia Rica was absolutely the best. They worked hard all day to accomplish a dream I’ve had for over a decade to catch a rooster. Chato and Rusty were fun to fish with and made the day one to remember. Not to mention we caught the Rooster of a lifetime! I will be back to visit!!
