Car Rental Agencies in Costa Rica
Renting a car is one of the best ways to get to know Costa Rica. It can also be one of the most challenging parts of a vacation here. Roads are often in poor condition or congested and you will soon notice the drivers can be a bit liberal about obeying traffic laws. The important thing is to always drive defensively and never get in a hurry. If you plan to drive mainly on the major roads, say to the beach or around the Central Valley near San Jose, renting a car can be a great option. If you plan to drive into remote areas on unpaved roads, be sure to get the appropriate vehicle - we recommend a sturdy 4x4.
Costa Rica Diving and Snorkeling
Costa Rica has numerous good quality dive spots such as Cano Island where you can expect to see all sorts of Costa Rica's undersea marvels. No matter where you choose to dive in Costa Rica, expect to see giant sea turtles, gigantic manta rays, intricate coral formations, colorful angel fish, psychedelic sea slugs, delicate sea fans, spiny puffer fish, dolphins and, on rare occasions, whales.
Costa Rica Rafting
White water rafting is pure adrenaline! You choose the level of rapids you are comfortable with and depart on the adventure of a lifetime. In some places you will be floating along slowly - even jumping out of the raft for a swim, in others you'll be paddling as hard as you can to keep the raft in the right place for the flow of the rapids. Your guides are well trained and will ensure you are safe.
Costa Rica Kayaking
Skilled kayakers will enjoy the challenge of Costa Ricas rivers, while novices would be wise to consider white water rafting or canoeing in gentler conditions. Either way you will have a great time but expect to get soaking wet along the way!
White water kayaking is considered an extreme sport and Costa Rica has hosted various international tournaments. When the water is calm it offers a perfect way to travel quietly through mangroves and estuaries for an up close and personal look at flora and fauna; and when the water gets rough, it turns into the extreme sport so many have scome to love and practice.Costa Rica Kayaking
