Top 2 Fishing Trips in Costa Rica

1.Inshore Fishing trip in Santa Teresa

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 48 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) Our pick

Set out from Malpaís with Jason Tours for a private 3.5-hour fishing trip along the Nicoya Peninsula. Guides such as Jason, Erik, and Janvier provide the gear, drinks, fruit, and local know-how. You may troll for tuna, mahi mahi, roosterfish, wahoo, snapper, and more, with dolphins, turtles, rays, or whales possible by season.

“Did not catch anything. Didn’t seem like the captain was that motivated to catch fish. We just went around in circles, trolling blindly it seemed like. There wasn’t any explanation of what type of fishing we would be doing. One expensive boat ride. I would skip fishing in Mal Pais”

2.Private Charter Fishing in Tamarindo

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 29 reviews · 6 hours (approx.)

Set out from Tamarindo at 7:00 am with a private fishing team for roughly six hours. Your group of up to six gets fishing gear, snorkeling equipment, cold water, soft drinks, fruit, snacks, cold beer, and cocktails for adults. The day depends on weather and the fish, so bring patience as well as enthusiasm.

“We were unable to make the trip due to an illness but they were great and understood the issue and did not charge us”
