Costa Rica is home to some of the largest Tarpon in the World. Tarpon are the “Silver Kings” of our coastal waters and can grow past 6 feet in length and weigh as much as 350 lbs.
Tarpon Fish call the Barra del Colorado home, and is the only location in Costa Rica to catch them. Barra del Colorado is 140 miles from San Hose in the extreme Northeastern Caribbean Coast, part of the second largest rain forest preserve in Central America.
At Barra del Colorado you also can catch Snook, River fish, exotic freshwater species and even offshore big game fish such as Tuna, Wahoo, and Atlantic Sailfish. The guides in this area are local experts who spend their life fishing for Tarpon.
