Kayaking/Sea Kayaking

Whitewater kayaking is a favorite sport and Costa Rica has hosted several international tournaments.

Ocean kayaking is also rapidly gaining devotees because just about anyone can handle it after a few lessons. When the waves are rolling and easy, it provides a great way to travel quietly to estuaries and mangroves for upclose and personal viewing of wildlife; and when the waves begin to pound, it provides exhilarating sport for those with a taste for wet fun.
