Costa Rica Sea Kayaking

"

It never crossed my mind that I was on a tour -- I was an explorer, and I discovered more about myself than anything else. I can do a lot more than my accountant's personality thought possible. Face big waves, ride horses in moonlight, swim in rivers with exotic reptiles. These I will not forget. Nor will I ever forget the huge support I received from )Serendipity guide) Juanca, who always pushed me to try but, as I look back, never put me at risk. — Paul Z., Littleton, CO, March, 2003

Sea kayaking the oceans and canals of Costa Rica


Sea kayaks let you glide across glimmering water and enjoy the sunset from deserted beaches.

Costa Rica is bordered by two seas, and much of the country is unreachable by road, so there are a number of places in Costa Rica that are best experienced from the serenity of a sea kayak. Whether it be paddling your way through the famous canals and estuaries of Tortuguero National Park, island hoping across the Gulf of Nicoya, or exploring the warm waters of the Caribbean coast, a sea kayak can add interest to your journey and get you to places you can't reach by road.


Even complete novices can enjoy a few playful hours of sea kayaking.

Your Serendipity adventure can include anything from one hour of easy paddling in a sit on top kayak to several days of island hopping in unprotected waters. When you paddle Costa Rica as part of a Serendipity adventure you will have good food, clean and comfortable lodging, and well maintained equipment.


Sea kayaking interior rivers - a silent and personal way to see nature.

In contrast to most of our activities, Serendipity does not run sea kayak tours, but will include this activity as part of your Costa Rican vacation. For examples of how sea kayaking can be incorporated into your active Costa Rican vacation, have a look at our sample itineraries of private Costa Rica vacations.
