Whitewater Kayaking:

Whitewater kayaking is a favorite sport and Costa Rica has hosted more than one international tournament.

Ocean kayaking is also rapidly gaining devotees because just about anyone can handle it after a few lessons.

Sea Kayaking:

Good arms and a strong back will help you practice this sport. Offered up and down the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, sea kayaking is very popular.

When the waves are rolling and easy, it provides a great way to travel quietly to estuaries and mangroves for up close and personal viewing of wildlife. And when the waves begin to pound, it provides exhilarating sport for those with a penchant for wet fun.
