Costa Rica Fishing Vacation
Planning a Costa Rica fishing vacation can take a lot of work because now more than ever there are dozens of different fishing lodges, booking companies and vacation touring companies waiting to get your business. This type of variety can make for a difficult choice. Although there is far more to Costa Rica than fly fishing, hundreds if not thousands of tourists a year come strictly for the fishing and there are many different types of fishing vacation packages you can choose from today.
Within the area of the Osa Peninsula, which is only about 30miles north of the Panama border, you will find the best sport fishing vacation packages and excursions. With the Pacific Ocean and the Gulfo Dulce to choose from when it comes to your fly fishing needs, you have more options here than anywhere else in the country. Here you will find dozens of different accommodations, including speciality fishing lodges to make for the perfect fishing vacation. Also, if you are interested in all-inclusive accommodations within the area, the Crocodile Bay Lodge is a great combination of the two luxuries; fishing resort and all-inclusive convenience.
Manuel Antonio is prime sport fishing location on the Pacific side of the country. Here you can visit the Manuel Antonio Wildlife Park and spend your vacation on the beach with the many different ocean front hotels to choose from. Charter boats are constantly departing from Quepos and Manuel Antonio which allows you to fly fish any day of your vacation. With the opportunity to catch game fish such as Marlin, Wahoo and Sailfish, every avid angler will want to spend their vacation on this side of the country. These two locations are just a short bus ride away from each other which means if you are travelling with people who do not want to fish, there is more than enough alternative activities for them to take part in throughout the white sandy beaches of the Manuel Antonio coast.
A Costa Rican fly fishing excursion is not complete unless you find yourself wrestling with a fish that is bigger than you are and when you book your fishing trip you can be sure your fishing guides will do everything they can to make sure this happens. Fishing in Costa Rica is very affordable with prices that range from $100-$800 per day, depending on your preferences and what is included in your day. For those who love to fish, there is no price that can be put on an adventure like this one.

This generally includes your air fare, transportation from the airport, your hotel fees and 3-4 days of fishing during your stay. Each vacation package can differ if you would prefer an ocean view room or more days of fishing, customization is not a problem. Take advantage of these package offers and create the perfect fishing vacation for your and your family in beautiful Costa Rica.
