Yeah, Fishing in Costa Rica it is a dream come true for most anglers. You could be on a commercial sport fishing boat with 6 trolling lines, or get lost in the jungle fishing for native trout. Anything your heart desires in fishing (minus ice fishing) is available somewhere in this little country.

Why should you consider Costa Rica for your next vacation?

There is a question that has many answers, but these are just some of the key points.

1. The sheer variety of things you and your family can do in such a small area. Eco tours, fishing, swimming, surfing, mountaineering, camping, hiking, volcanoes, scuba diving, snorkeling, cruises, wildlife, plant life, the list goes on.

2. Costa Rica is affordable if you plan your vacation in advance.

3. The people of the country are almost always very friendly with foreigners and tourists. They will do almost anything to win your friendship or help you. Yes, Spanish is the main language spoken here, but if you have a small translation dictionary, or one of those new electronic devices from Casio or Franklin, you won’t have a problem. There is usually always someone around to help you with your Spanish, and they are most likely fluent in your language as well.

4. Car rental is reasonable, but for those who really want to see the country, I recommend using a bus. Yes, I know it sounds wild, but it can be a lot of fun and you will meet some interesting people. You can travel for hours across the mountains or along the Pacific coast and spend only $2 or more for airfare.

5. Costa Rica is also a very safe place for your family.

How can you expect to spend on a Fishing Vacations in Costa Rica?

Obviously, that depends on a lot of things, like the type of place you want to sleep, where you choose to eat, and the type of transportation you use while you’re here. When it comes to the cost of the fishing trip itself, it can range from $200 for a half day to $6,000 for a week if you really want the best of everything, including lodging, food, and transportation for your entire family.

Keep in mind that if you’re a cheapskate, you could spend a week here fishing, surfing and swimming with room and board and all for less than $1,000. Now that’s hard to find anywhere else. Costa Rica has what you are looking for, now all you have to do is grab your sunscreen, pack some bags, bring a camera and plan to have a good time.
