whitewater trips.

We've had good luck with Rios Tropicales < www.riostropicales.com > in the
past, but I haven't been down there for a number of years.  There is some
stellar stuff to paddle both in the sea and on the rivers.

Have fun and good luck.

Hi Sid,

Back in 1993 I went on an all day trip off Galiano Island (between
Vancouver and Vancouver Island) with an outfitter called Gulf Island
Kayaking.  I noticed that they also did trips in Costa Rico.  A quick
search turned up the following web address:

		http://www.seakayak.bc.ca/tour/galiano.html

I know nothing about the Costa Rico trips but the one I did from Galiano
was fine.

Good luck,

Bill Leonhardt

When I went to Costa Rica I had a friend managing the rafting for Costa
Rica Expeditions. The woman I was travelling with likes going on guided
tours (she was on a tour I co-led in New Zealand) and so she booked us on
a bunch of stuff with them! We went rafting on one of the rivers, took a
naturalist tour to a volcano, and then went to Corcovado Lodge right next
to the park. It was fun to be a client for once and I was pretty impressed
by all of our guides. We didn't do any sea kayaking however, but I
remember a couple of ads in the back of Sea Kayaker magazine.
