Paddle the calm waters of Paquera
Both kayaking and paddleboarding rentals are available for independent exploration, instructions and guided tours are also highly recommended. From half-day and full-day adventures to multi-day excursions, different local tour operators cater to every kind of paddler.
One of the most extraordinary experiences is the famous bioluminescent night tour, available both by kayak and boat. The bays near Paquera are among the few places in the world with permanent bioluminescence, where the water lights up with glowing algae as your paddle slices through it. This magical kayak experience is not to be missed.
Paddle through pure tranquility
Exploring the Gulf by kayak or paddleboard offers a peaceful escape, with the water, beaches, and surrounding tropical plants and animals creating a serene atmosphere. As you paddle through the quiet waters, you’ll find yourself more attuned to the sights and sounds of nature—bird calls, the splash of a fish, or the rustle of leaves on a distant shore. Both activities provide a wonderful opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with nature.
Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, kayaking and paddleboarding in Costa Rica’s Gulf of Nicoya is the perfect way to explore this beautiful region. Let the water guide your journey, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
The water is calling — will you answer?
