Dear Paddler,
Have you been dreaming of getting away?
In these days of the ongoing pandemic, it makes sense. We all need a guiding star to pull us through these tough times. Indeed, I hope you are as healthy and happy as you can be with the huge challenges these years have brought to all of us.
Speaking of challenges, I have had a few of my own—and like a kayaker who finds himself turned upside down by rough water—I have done my best to pop back upright. In a nutshell, it was an unexpected and jarring change in partnership that caught me broadside.
Once I surfed from the surprise, I was quickly motivated to re-brand the company I opened in 2015. Thus, “Tropical Sea Kayaking” has become “Sea Kayaking Costa Rica.” (Note: In am no way associated with Tropical Sea Kayaking or Vince Lamain as of August 2021.)
You can find my interim website at seakayakingcostarica.com including a link to over thirty Google 5-star reviews. I am happy to report that SKCR had a busy and successful season in 2022, and I am now booking trips for Dec 2022-June 2023.
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
Imagine gliding over the warm waters of Gulfo Dulce, Costa Rica or San Blas in Panama. These trips will be led with all the safety, guidance, and experience I have personally brought to these endeavors for over two decades.

Why not embark on a plan for your Sea Kayaking Costa Rica trip today and give yourself a gift of the anticipation of an uplifting adventure?
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions—I am here for you. Pura Vida!

Hi Matias,
This is Don Stearns.My wife Lori and our friends Mark & Gayle English had planned a trip a couple of yrs ago but covid hit and we were not sure if we would have been able to get back into the States after our trip.We could have made it there but coming back was going to be sketchy.So we cancelled at that time.We are looking at it again for the 3/25-4/1/23 dates.If you have others booking the same dates,that would be great.It would be super too be able to meet other like minded souls.At the time of booking before you did have an additional hiking trip for a couple of days for an add on.I see these are under review right now but may be available next year possibly.If so, we would also like to do that as well.We have 11 days allotted for this adventure.Let us know.For now,we are just checking the calendar for 4 and shooting for the above dates.
Thanks,
Don
Matias,
I have the wrong dates in my previous note.We will be looking to book a trip around the same time but in 2024.Sorry about that.
We are avid hikers,5-7 day trips and have spent may trips for a few days on rivers with gear.Hence the reason my wife and I have wilderness tsunami’s.We also do portaging trips in Canada for 5-7 days carrying all our gear and an ultralight canoe.Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks,
Don
