The captain and his first mate made it an incredible experience. They wanted to make sure we caught as many fish as possible. The captain was working constantly to make sure he found fish to catch. At times it was hard but he did not stop looking… His first mate was also on constantly throwing the lines in the areas he would see activity. The boat had plenty of drinks for all of us and on the way back they gave freshly cut Pineapple - so delicious and refreshing. All in all we were 4 on the boat and we all caught in total 5 - 2 Rooster, 2 Jack and one huge needle nose lol…. DO NOT hesitate to book your next fishing excursion. You will not be disappointed. PURA VIDA!!

We spent a great morning with our amazing guides! We enjoyed a great trip around the coast of Guanacaste, seeing its beautiful nature and learning about it with the knowledge of our guides. We were able to see whales, turtles, dolphins, pelicans and many more interesting species, while enjoying a great fishing day. We caught six tunas and two jureles, all thanks to their great work, taking care of everything for us to be able to catch some fish while also allowing us to cast some lures ourselves. Overall a great experience that we would recommend to anyone visiting.

Our captain Jose took us to an area and started trolling. We we’re able to grab 3 rooster fish within the hour. Unfortunately we also were down to our last live bait so we were only trolling one line and not getting any bites. We moved locations and the 5 guests were just sitting there twiddling our thumbs while the captain and mate fished. Finally I asked if I could get a rod to cast and they readily agreed so at least I felt like I was doing something. We moved again and were able to catch some additional bait and went back to “rooster cove” and again got one. We were running short on time so they put 4 lures in the water and went to one last spot a bit farther out. It felt a little like a Hail Mary attempt to get the last guest, me, on a fish and damn it if they didn’t make it happen! Got my first black fin tuna and it was awesome. Took it with me back to shore and the resort prepared it for us. It was literally the best tuna I’ve ever had so kudos to captain Hose and North Pacific Adventures!

If you are staying at Dreams Las Mareas or anywhere in the area, you absolutely need to take a trip on the Barbara. The guys were absolutely great and we had so much fun with them. We went fishing and caught some great fish. We also saw some beautiful rare sea turtles. At the end we spent a bit of time snorkeling. Couldn’t have asked for better guides. These guys absolutely know what they are doing and will try their best to give you some unforgettable memories.
