Eagle Ray Bio Tours – Local Adventures on the Gulf of Nicoya
Some of the best experiences in Paquera begin when you leave the road behind and head out onto the water. Eagle Ray Bio Tours is a local tour company offering small-group experiences that introduce visitors to the wildlife, islands and marine landscapes of the Gulf of Nicoya.
Their tours include sport fishing, Isla Tortuga and snorkeling trips, bioluminescence, whale and dolphin watching, and artisanal fishing. What connects them all is a relaxed, personal approach and time on the water with local guides who know this coastline well.
Sport fishing – local style
Sport fishing is an important part of what Eagle Ray does. Their fishing experience may be aboard a smaller boat rather than a large sport-fishing yacht, but it is very much rod-and-reel sport fishing, using the techniques and equipment associated with the sport.
The waters around Paquera offer opportunities to target species such as roosterfish, jacks, snapper and other inshore species, with the possibility of heading farther offshore on longer trips. Eagle Ray also promotes catch and release as part of its sport-fishing approach.
Small groups, wildlife and local knowledge
Another characteristic of Eagle Ray Bio Tours is its focus on small groups. Whether heading toward Isla Tortuga, searching for dolphins or exploring the coast, fewer passengers can make the experience feel more personal and flexible.
Their Isla Tortuga excursions combine the boat journey with snorkeling, swimming and opportunities to look for wildlife along the way. Depending on the day and season, the Gulf can surprise visitors with dolphins, rays, turtles, seabirds and other marine life.
After sunset, there is an entirely different experience: Paquera’s bioluminescence. Tiny marine organisms create flashes of blue-green light when the water is disturbed, giving visitors the chance to experience one of the natural phenomena for which our area has become increasingly well known.
During whale season, Eagle Ray also takes visitors out in search of humpback whales and dolphins visiting the waters of the Gulf.
What makes Eagle Ray Bio Tours particularly representative of Paquera is its combination of small groups, local knowledge and a genuine connection to the sea. You can come for the fishing, snorkeling, wildlife or glowing water – and leave having experienced a little more of the everyday relationship between Paquera and the Gulf of Nicoya.
Local people, local waters and plenty to discover.
