Visit Paquera, Visit Bahía Rica

Tucked away on the quiet shores of the Gulf of Nicoya, Bahía Rica Adventures offers more than just tours—it offers a genuine connection to nature, community, and the rhythm of coastal life in Paquera.

Operating since 2007, Bahía Rica has welcomed both international and Costa Rican travelers to experience the gulf in a personal and authentic way. Over the years, thousands of guests have explored these waters—whether heading out for sportfishing adventures or discovering the magic of the bioluminescence tours that light up the bay at night.

Authentic Experiences on the Water

From guided kayak tours and stand-up paddleboarding to sportfishing and snorkeling, Bahía Rica invites you to explore the ocean at your own pace. Small groups and personalized service ensure a relaxed and intimate experience, far from crowded destinations.

As the sun rises over the gulf or sets behind the islands, the beauty of Paquera reveals itself in quiet moments—gliding over glassy water, spotting wildlife, or simply floating in stillness. And after dark, the ocean transforms into something truly special, as each movement in the water creates a natural glow.

Stay Close to Nature

Accommodation at Bahía Rica reflects the same philosophy: simple, comfortable, and immersed in nature. Stay in cozy cabins at Punta Cuchillo or on the peaceful island of Isla Cedros, where the sound of the ocean becomes part of your experience.

Community and Sustainability at Heart

Bahía Rica is deeply connected to the local community. Through collaborations with youth initiatives and educational programs, the project supports the next generation in learning about the ocean, responsible fishing, and sustainable tourism.

Discover a Different Side of Costa Rica

Paquera remains one of Costa Rica’s hidden gems—an area where life moves slower, where nature is still close, and where visitors are welcomed as part of the community.

Visit Paquera. Visit Bahía Rica. Experience something real.
