We are a fully licensed and insured fishing company ready to take you out for a full day or a half day. We offer a wide variety of fishing options in the Papagayo Gulf: inshore, offshore, coastal, bottom, casting, fly and spear fishing. If you are looking to save money or prefer not to fish alone, Lisa can arrange a split-charter with other fisherman/woman looking for the same. Captain Daniel has over 40 years of fishing experience and his mate Jose has over 20 years. Snorkeling can be included at the end of your fishing trip at no additional cost. Costa Rica sportfishing is known worldwide as one of the greatest sport fishing/surfing destination and is fun for the entire family. Surf trips to Witche's Rock and Ollie's offered as well with a guide and you can rent surf board and boogie board through us. We look forward to hearing from you. Pura Vida! « less

“Best services I've ever experienced.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2012 NEW

Recently had 3 charters with North Pacific Charters. Have been fishing for over 50 years and had some of the best services I've ever experienced. Captain Daniel and son Danny worked very hard to give us great fishing days. Landed a couple of dozen roosters and many other fish. Gave us a great lunch topped with fresh pineapple. Lisa did...

John! Thank you so much for writing a review for the trips you had with us. It is an honor that you think so highly of our business since you set the bar very high - you are "the Legend." You should really try to come down during the rainy season when the tuna is running, the waters much clamer... More

“Awesome Fishing Trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2012

We were picked up right on our beach and taken out to where they know the fish are. Within 45 minutes we had our first big fish on. The crew was fully equipped "with live bait" and had lots of cold drinks and snacks for us if we wanted. The crew worked extremely hard changing lures as conditions changed and... More

“AWESOME Fishing Trip”

Just got back from a great fishing trip with North Pacific Tours - couldn't have been happier with my choice of boat and crew. And we caught enough to feed our entire party - 5 tuna, over 20 red snapper, and we even landed a rooster fish! It was incredible. Lisa was totally organized with the pre-trip planning. She confirmed... More

“Best Activity of our entire week in Costa Rica!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2011

We found out about North Pacific Tours on TripAdvisor while doing preliminary research for a fishing charter in Costa Rica at Playa Hermosa. The fishing charters we also saw when researching didn't have rave reviews or they were WAY to expensive for a day trip of fishing. I decided to Pin North Pacific Tours to inquire about their prices and... More
