Quepos Verde Aventura

About this tour

A guided fishing trip through calm mangrove channels, suited to beginners and experienced anglers. Snapper, snook and tarpon live here.

This trip winds through the waterways of the mangroves, a busy ecosystem of brackish water full of life. It works for experienced anglers and for people who have never fished before.

Mangrove snapper, snook and tarpon are some of the fish you may hook in these calm channels. Your fishing guide knows the water well and will give you tips for landing a big one.

Between bites, look around. Tall mangroves with tangled roots line the banks, and birds call overhead.
