River and Ocean Kayaking Trips in the Puntarenas region from Drake Bay in Costa Rica operates in the Aguitas River and open water just in front of the hotel which is ideal for Kayaking enthusiasts.

River and Ocean Kayaking Trips are operated from the Aguila de Osa Inn in Drake Bay, has 7 lightweight, one-person sit-on-top kayaks, which we encourage you to use whenever possible. Made of hard, durable plastic, these kayaks are comfortable, stable and very easy to maneuver.

The entrance to the Aguitas River is located just in front of the hotel, on the left side, and is best enjoyed during high tide since it permits you to paddle further up river. You can, however, kayak in the river at any time.

The river?s width varies considerably and is relatively unobstructed, however, some small islands of rock do exist. The forest that lines the river is dense and provides for a surprising amount of shade even on sunny days.

Along the riverbed there are countless numbers of Jesus Christ Lizards and Gekos, as well as frogs, crabs and numerous other animal and plant species. As well, you?ll hear the ruckus of the Scarlet Macaws and other tropical birds that often reside in the canopy overhead. The water conditions in the Aguitas River of the Puntarenas region are normally very flat and tranquil, ideal for even the most tepid kayaker.

For those who prefer to kayak in open water you can venture out in front of the hotel, just beyond the protected cove. The shoreline to the left is very rugged, with plenty of large outcroppings comprised primarily of volcanic rock, separated only by small coves and sandy beaches.

Standing tall, just behind the rocks, is lush, verdant rainforest that often runs right to the water?s edge. The scenery here is truly spectacular, and there is no limit as to just how far you can go. The water conditions vary depending on the weather, tide, and time of day.There can be some small to medium swells 1 to 2 feet. If you turn to the right after exiting the protected cove you?ll first pass a small, rocky section that reside just in front of the hotel.

You?ll then arrive at the beginning of a long, sandy beach, which slowly bends to the left and continues north to the next point. Along the beach you?ll see tropical palm trees gently swaying, with towering, dense rainforest just behind. The water conditions here tend to be much calmer, as the water is considerably shallower along the beach in Drake Bay.
