 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough about  the folks of Wahoo Sportfishing and the great experience that they provided for us! From the booking process all the way thru dropping us off after everything was done. The booking process was super easy and they answered all of my questions  in detail very quickly. The crew worked very hard to put us on the fish and were alot of fun from start to finish.

Mi experiencia visitando la Hacienda Cafetera Doka y el volcán Poás, fue ESTUPENDA de principio a fin!!! Me recogieron justo a la hora acordada. El guia Erick, con la pasión y amor a su labor, nos enamoro del cafe, y el volcán, aunque nublado, fue toda una excelente experiencia, gracias a el. El desayuno tipico de Costa Rica, estuvo delicioso también. Y el retorno, aunque el trafico no ayudo, fue muy agradable y directo al punto a la hora indicada. GRACIAS por hacer de este día, uno para recordar. Sigan así!!!!!

 Verified Tortuga Bay island day trip is amazing
The Tortuga Bay island excursion through Bryan was absolutely phenomenal. The boat ride there and back were both so nice in the sun with great music. Throughout the experience there were constant drinks and fresh fruit offered by the staff. There was a free lunch included which was genuinely one of the best meals I had while in Costa Rica. The cost is extremely reasonable considering what is offered with the snorkelling, banana boat, and complimentary drinks along with the amazing care from the staff. If you want to have the best experienced possible while in Costa Rica, do the Tortuga Bay tour with Bryan.

 Verified Amazing day
Picked up right on time and out we went. Christian and Carlos took the time to ask what we were hoping for, and we started with catching two Mahi Mahi for dinner. Then an epic battle to bring in a Sailfish for a picture, and a surprise catch of a big red snapper to top it off. While my son and I fished, the captain had my wife and niece in stitches with stories. Absolutely perfect experience, would certainly and enthusiastically use them again.

We booked two fishing trips through Brian at Wahoo. A full day off shore trip and a half day inland fishing trip. Brian was super easy to work with and went above and beyond to book a last minute trip for us. Highly recommended!

 Verified ATV experience
Five stars for ATV experience through Brian at Wahoo Sportfishing Jaco! The route they take you on transitions from dry terrain to lush jungle reaching the falls where you can stop by for a quick swim, crossing various streams and mud paths. Well organized, private tour and the equipment was top-notch. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and thrilling experience.

Helpful Answers

Full Day Fishing FAQ

Straight answers from the Wahoo crew about timing, trip style, pickup details and the best next step for your date.

Who should book full day fishing?

Full day fishing is best for guests who want more offshore time, more range and better chances at sailfish, tuna, mahi mahi, marlin and blue-water action.

How long is the full day fishing charter?

The standard full day private charter is 8 hours.

What is included on full day fishing?

Full day fishing includes transportation, beers, sodas, water, fruits, snacks, sandwich lunch and private local crew.

Why is full day better for offshore fishing?

Full day gives the captain more time to reach productive offshore water, follow conditions and target pelagic species.

Can families book a full day charter?

Yes, but half day is usually easier for young children or first-time guests. Full day is best when the group is comfortable spending more time on the water.
