Special Features:
This trip is not for everyone as it is physically demanding. All adventurers need to be healthy and in good physical conditions. Kids over 12 years old can join theme parents in double kayaks. This trip is for a minimum of 2 pax.
Golfo Dulce’s smooth waters provide easy paddling while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Golfito Forest Reserve, Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve and Piedras Blancas National Park.


While out on the gulf, we are practicing minimum impact camping, to ensure the pristine state of the wilderness remains for future generations.

We will be keeping the weight and volume of a gear to a minimum. We will be staying in expedition quality tents, which provide more than enough room for two people (some single tents are available on each trip). As we travel from beach to beach, we use predetermined camping areas to minimize our impact on the coast line.

However, we also give ourselves considerable flexibility to adjust to different conditions encountered as we travel.
