Costa Rica offers a wide array of water adventures and water-related sports. The country's 1200 km coastline affords some of the best water sports beaches offering surfing, snorkeling, board surfing and scuba diving, while inland rivers and rainforests are packed with boating, kayaking and white water rafting adventures.
Surfing, Snorkeling and Scuba Diving
Some of the world's best year-round surfing lures water enthusiasts to Costa Rica. From mid-December to April, during the country's summer, the most popular surfing location is on Costa Rica's northern Pacific coast. Tamarindo, a small beach community, boasts beach surfing, river mouth surfing and some challenging surfing opportunities around the area's well-known reefs.
On the Caribbean coast, Play Cocles is a favorite with surfers and in a remote and peaceful setting on the southern Pacific coast, Matapalo on the Osa Peninsula proffers world class surfing. This is also the best region for scuba diving and snorkeling. Drake Bay, on the northern tip of the Osa Peninsula, features crystalline clear blue waters where corals, several species of crustaceans and three species of dolphins reside. Octal, on the Gulf of Papagayo, offers diving courses as well as great snorkeling and fishing adventures. Water activities like the above range from relaxing getaways to high adventures in the depths of the Costa Rican underwater world.
Rafting and Kayaking
From low impact, pleasant gliding and kayaking across calm, tropical waters to tackling with water challenges on class III and IV river rapids, Costa Rica has it all. The Pacuare, Sarapiqui and Corobici Rivers are great destinations for unforgettable water adventures.
The Pacuare River is divided into 3 sections, from easy gliding to high adventure rapids. Surrounded by dense, tropical rainforest in the Guanacaste region, the Tenorio River offers high adventure with some of the most exhilarating white water rafting challenges. Advanced rafters have the opportunity to tackle class III and IV river conditions in a 15 mile fast flowing wild and untamed white water adventure.
If the thought of rafting down fierce white water rapids while holding on for dear life is not for you, then a pleasant glide down the Corobici River may be your style. Situated in the lush rain and mangrove forests, the Corobici River provides on of the calmest rafting adventures through stunning scenery and fascinating wildlife viewing opportunities. With flora including ceiba and mahogany trees, wild birds of paradise and over 300 species of birds, howler and white faced monkeys, iguanas and lizards, Rio corobici in Guanacaste features one of Costa Rica's most picturesque riverscapes and offers a memorable adventure for the entire family.
