Ocean & River Kayaking
Agujitas River, Drake Bay, Pacific Shoreline
The waters surrounding the Aguila de Osa Rainforest and Marine Adventure Lodge offer so many ways to create your own personalized kayak experience. Whether a first-time paddler or an experienced adventurer, you set off from our private dock in a fully equipped single or double Jackson kayak for a relaxing or exhilarating trek on the water. Our Jackson kayaks feature back support and are very stable. They are available all day with no reservation needed.
Around every bend of its rainforest covered banks, the serene beauty of the Agujitas River literally wraps itself around you with every stroke of your paddle. The abundance of trees, exotic plants, and flowers create a vivid backdrop for wildlife spotting, as the river is a haven for the waterbirds, mammals, colorful rainforest birds, and reptiles who make their homes from the surface water, right up to the canopy.
You may choose to set off across the expanse of Drake Bay and pull up on one of its beaches to enjoy life without worry… the essence of Pura Vida. Or you might head out of the bay to skirt along the Pacific Ocean shoreline of the norther tip of the Osa Peninsula. You’ll discover a number of deserted, golden sandy beaches and inlets, each with a story, each with its own vibe. These will become your stories, too.
Best of all — kayaking is a self-guided tour, done at your pace, and absolutely free to Aguila de Osa guests, and only $15 for non-guest visitors.
TIPS
The best time for river kayaking is either two hours before high tide or two hours after. That puts you in tune with the slack tide, so you can get the furthest upriver.
If you decide to hit the beaches, be very aware of the wave conditions as getting the timing between waves correctly can be tricky.
Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, water shoes, and maybe some gloves are strongly recommended. A waterproof bag for your phone and/or camera is a must. Bring water.
Testimonial
“Kayaks are available for use free of charge. I enjoyed kayaking up the river listening to the sounds of the howler monkeys and looking for the crocodile. We also kayaked out into the bay which was a treat – a flying fish skimmed across the water not 2 yards from my kayak!”
