Guanacaste Adventure Tours
Get a true Costa Rican fishing experience with Guanacaste Adventure Tours. Leave the crowded beach of Playa Hermosa behind and head to the crystal clear waters aboard a traditional fishing boat with a local guide.
Captains Jose and Eduardo were born and raised on the Papagayo Peninsula and have been fishing here most of his adult life. Passionate anglers and citizens of the area, they promise to show you the region's highlights, with plenty of local insight.
Step aboard the 30' locally-made center console and away you go. Up to 8 guests are welcome aboard to make yourselves at home, taking in the cool breeze from the Pacific as you cool off from the blistering sun. Hop into the water and make use of the snorkeling gear to discover the riches under the sea for an all-round experience. Just make sure to bring a towel to dry off.
You'll find a cooler stacked full of drinks on board, so you'll stay refreshed all day, and you can even grab a beer to make the most of your day out. With a private toilet on board, you'll have no concerns about getting caught short, either!
Get ready for a productive day on these rich waters as you target some worldwide favorites and local specialties. Bottom fish the nearshore reefs for stunning Roosterfish and delicious Snappers, while offshore you'll be trolling for monster Mahi Mahi and tasty Tuna. These fish will all make you work for your catch, so come prepared for an intense workout.
At the end of the day, the crew will clean and fillet your catch, so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor back at a beachside restaurant. Guanacaste Adventure Tours has thought of everything! Come aboard for an authentic taste of Costa Rica and head home with a memorable story to tell!

We had a great day on the water with our party of 8!! We did the half day trip where Jose greeted us right on the beach near our resort. The water was a little dangerous in that area so we were shuttled to safer point where we could jump on. We were greeted by our Captain and fishing expert as they were our guides for the tour as well as a cooler full of drinks and fruit! We took about 30 min ride out in the ocean and starting casting right away. The wind had other plans as it was SO choppy and a lot of us started to get sick (I am not a sea sick person and I was even nauseous). Nothing anyone could do about that but the crew realized what was happening and quickly took us to a flatter location. No luck catching anything at this point but we had a wonderful ride around the area and got to see some monkeys, dolphins, and iguana as well as some HUGE houses and resorts. Very lovely area. Then we went back out to try again. The tuna were EVERY WHERE!!! I think we caught like 12 in the span of an hour which was really cool for our whole party but especially our 4 boys. The crew got them fileted and sliced up for us to take home at the end. We had a great time and would likely recommend Jose and his very professional crew!
Thank you very much!!
We were picked up on the beach at our hotel right on time and started fishing within a few minutes. A great experience with a friendly crew, perfect for what we wanted! Not the best trip for anyone looking to get real serious fishing done (mostly due to boat configuration), but perfect for a nice day on the water with good conversation and great food. Our crew made fresh ceviche from some of the tuna we caught... And let me tell you... It was probably the best ceviche we've ever had! Can't thank the crew enough! The boat was spotless, the drinks provided were ice cold, and we were able to take home some fresh tuna which was prepared at Roberto's which we would also highly recommend! Captain Jose was able to help us make the reservations and took care of all the details! Would definitely book again!
Thank you very much!!
Jose picked us (my wife, my twin 13 yr old boys, and myself) up from our hotel and brought us to the boat. Eduardo and Miller took us out for a half day trip. The whole experience was outstanding! We have taken fishing trips in the Keys, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and Tampa and this was by far the best. Within 30 mins of getting on the boat, Eduardo and Miller had us on the fish. We all caught black fin tuna and to top it off, the crew hooked an 80 lb rooster fish that I fought for 25 mins before we got it in the boat. We grabbed a bunch of pics with it and then we released it. That was all within the first 3 hours! We spent the last hour snorkeling on a quiet beach where we saw all kinds of reef fish and a turtle! The crew filleted the tuna for us and we ate it that night. It was a perfect trip and I cannot recommend them enough. Book your trip with them, you will not be disappointed.
We had a great experience with Captain Eduardo and first mate Miller. From the moment we booked to the end of the fishing trip everyone involved was attentive and professional. When we boarded the boat we expressed our desire to catch tuna and the elusive Rooster fish. Our daughter loves tuna and she was dead set on catching one. Eduardo and Miller knew exactly where to take us to get her first catch. She loved the experience of reeling in her first Yellowfin. We were nearing the end of the charter and had enough time for one last try for the Rooster. After finding a massive bait school we landed a trophy Rooster to cap the day off. Great trip! It was an amazing family friendly fishing trip with attentive and laid back captain and first mate. Well definitely book them again the next time we come.
All great all around - communcation prior to the trip, right on time morning of, great crew that were friendly and helpful, we caught 5 fish, good fruit snack for boat ride home, and Jose even gave me a lot of ideas about how to cook the tuna, blue runner, and barracudas we caught. highly recommend!
Thank you very much Matt!! Hope to see you again, some day, keep in touch!! ... PURA VIDA...
