Decide on the Types of Water Sports you Want to Do
The great thing about Costa Rica is that it is a world renowned destination for water sports, which means there is so much to choose from. It could be that you want to experience something a little calm and peaceful, and want to check out kayaking and enjoy the beautiful ocean scenes - or it could be that you are a bit of an adrenaline junkie and want to do something like white water rafting. There’s also pretty much everything in-between available including surfing, snorkeling and more. Have a think about which of these you want to get under your belt before you go.
Do you Have the Right Equipment?
Make a checklist of all of the equipment you might need in Costa Rica which will of course be dependent on the activities you are planning on doing. Do you have everything you need, or will you need to do a bit of shopping before you go? Bear in mind that if it’s larger items that you may be renting when you get there. There are also lots of surf shops on the sandy beaches of Costa Rica if you fancy treating yourself to something new.
Think about the Location
Have a good think about the location of your trip. For a watersports holiday, you may want to see what the accommodation is like nearby and if it looks to meet your requirements. Also contemplate whether or not you’d like to be somewhere busy, or somewhere where that is more peaceful. The great thing is, in Costa Rica, there are so many fairly remote locations where you can enjoy some business and lots of restaurants nearby - so you get the best of both worlds.
If you are planning on an exciting trip to Costa Rica, then make sure you look into all of the above and put as much preparation in as you can before you go.
