Costa Rica - Quepos

QUEPOS BILLFISHING 

Thank you for choosing Trek Safaris to design your billfishing trip to Costa Rica. The information on the following pages is designed to serve as a guide for planning and logistical purposes.

Our research and many seasons of experience has taught us that the fishing out of Quepos is good throughout the year, however the absolute peak season for billfish is from December through late April.The generally short runs (30-45 minute average) to the fishing grounds means less time traveling and more time fishing. Your captain has many years of experience and is well equipped to put you in the fish. The mates on board will allow you to hook your own fish unless you decide otherwise. All provided tackle and lures are first class and you also have the option of bringing your own favorite lures. The boats in Quepos do practice “catch and release”, so have your camera on board to capture the moment. 

QUEPOS

The city of Quepos will be the base of operations for your trip and while small by U.S. standards, (with a population of approximately 15,000) offers a diverse selection of shops and excellent restaurants for your enjoyment. The most popular restaurants in the area are Kappy Kappy, Mar Luna, El Gran Escape, Barba Rojas, Makanda Sunspot, and Sunset Grill. The accommodations are just outside of the city, tucked along the winding, mountain road leading to Manuel Antonio National Park. The views along this drive are breathtaking and most of the above restaurants are within a short walk/taxi ride from your hotel.

SAN JOSE

This is the capital of Costa Rica and home to over one million people. The city offers a variety of things to see from the National Theater and the gold museum, to the numerous volcanoes located on the outskirts of town. Any optional sightseeing can easily be set up directly with Flamingo Bay Charters. The Cariari offers all you would expect from a first class establishment including a casino and championship 18-hole golf course. Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.

REMEMBER, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO RELAX AND HAVE A GREAT TIME!
