This is my 1st visit. Looking at being there the week of 1/16. 2 nights enough there? Thanks for any info. 1. Canopy Tour 2. ATV riding in the mountains You can book both through Paradise Hotel. I did both. Very cool. Some suggestions: -For the canopy tours, wear very loose and light clothing. It gets very hot in Jaco and there's a uphil hike to get to the actual site that you have to do with your equipment on. They provide water along the way. -For the ATV's, wear the worst clothing and shoes/boots that you own. They may need to get thrown out afterwards, especially if it rains. That clay/mud is not easy to wash out. I wasn't aware of this and had to throw away a new t-shirt, pretty good jeans, and a perfectly good pair of sneakers. 2 nights in Jaco is plenty in my opinion, but I have a feeling you will like SJ better. |

What do you think about the deep sea fishing? No opinion here. Fishing is not my thing, I don't have the patience. Haha. |

I met some guys from Tenn. while drinking at Bohio, a beachfront rest/bar. A tico came riding up on a horse and offered horse rides up to the bluff overlooking Jaco. 35 bucks. I got some great photos. The ride was about 2 hours, well worth it. |

Rent a surfboard go surf Hermosa pray you dont drown. I think there is also jet ski rentals at the marina. If you have a rental car thats 4w drive There is some cool roads up the mountains. Hang gliding, crocidile tour kayaking, picking mushrooms lol and lots of places to buy things although a bit pricy compared to other places. Surfdog |

You might want to start with breakfast at "Sunrise" restaurant. Take an ATV or go horseback riding into the mountains. Also, a great deal for the money is scooter rentals. They go for $40 /24 hours. I got 2 for $70. Me and my tica babe had a blast riding them everywhere. Hanging out by the pool at Copacabana can be a good time as well. Some of the chicas tend to stop by "looking" for something every day.

If you are into nature stuff and seeing animals there is a "Monkey Tour" that is either a half day or whole day trip. Ride takes you to a river boat ride, with lots of wildlife. For other wildlife, set up something the night before. If you have transportation, take them out to Esterillos Este or Bejuco ( half hour south of Jaco ) Beaches are pretty isolated and the chicas like to get rid of tan lines. This time of year a lot of people want to fish and it is possible to find people looking for an extra person to go on the boat. |

The day before Thanksgiving I fished solo with Costa Rica Dreams and caught eleven mahi-mahi around 30 lbs each ...six sailfish around 120 pounds each ... and one blue marlin around 300 pounds ... then spent a sensual night with a Nica at the Cocacabana ... damn what a day !!!! ... hope to be down later in the month or early February and intend to fish with them again ... the boat I was on is called Dream II ... give them a try - you'll have a blast ...
I have to agree with Postupright, the fishing is fantastic out of Los Suenos. Postupright, sounds like you had a great day (and night) of fishing. Heading down their to fish for 2 days on Jan 12 and 13. This will be my fourth trip and they seem to get better each time. If you are not up for a full day of offshore fishing, you can inquire around the Los Suenos Marina about chartering a small boat to go after Roosterfish. They are a blast to catch. |

You can go horseback riding. Tons of tours advertised in town or go to the equestrian center just north of the road to playa herradura (los suenos). |
