Costa Rica, with its lush rainforests, volcanic peaks, and pristine Pacific and Caribbean coastlines, is a thrilling destination for adventure travel, wingshooting, fishing, and big game hunting, though hunting is limited by conservation policies. Adventure travel includes zip-lining through Monteverde’s cloud forests, whitewater rafting the Pacuare River, or surfing at Playa Dominical. Explore Arenal Volcano’s hot springs or hike Corcovado National Park to spot jaguars and macaws, with year-round options peaking from December to April for dry 75-85°F weather. Wingshooting is restricted, with minimal opportunities for doves or pigeons on private lands, permitted November to March with special licenses. Fishing is world-class, with offshore catches of sailfish, marlin, and dorado off Quepos, or freshwater tarpon in the Río Colorado, best from January to May. Big game hunting is banned, but hunters can pursue alternatives like iguana or pursue big game in nearby countries.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
