    Big ol Fish!

    My wife and I booked the full day fishing trip with these boys! It was truly unforgettable! we saw pilot whales, hundreds of Dolphins and sea turtles and the best part was the massive blue marlin that I got to reel in. Highly recommend booking with Anzuelo Dorado Sport fishing!

    Dream Fishing Experience

    We had the most amazing experience with Captain Garrett and his First Mate Edmundo! The set up was fantastic, we caught yellow fin tuna and mahi mahi! Their experience and knowledge was very obvious, and even after catching fish, the boat deck was cleaned and ready for more!!! Recommend 10/10!!!!

    Couldn't have a better day or better crew!!

    The captain and crew of this boat were awesome. They bring a chill and positive attitude to the whole experience. We had 4 kids on this trip from 5-10 years old and all of them had a great time. The mate was patient with the kids and helped a ton. We were lucky the fishing had been slow the prior few days but we ended up with 1 wahoo, 2 mahi mahi, and a load of gouper. Catching isn't guaranteed but this boat works hard to put you on fish and make sure everyone has a great time. They cleaned and filleted our fish beautifully. I will definitely fish with them again the next time I am in Costa Rica.

    Fabulous Fishing Trip

    Had a fabulous time on Anzuelo Dorado, it was non stop fishing and was able to get our first sailfish. My wife and I had a blast onboard and we are already looking for our next chance to get back down for another charter with Captain Garrett.

    Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.

    How much does Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa Flamingo is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa Flamingo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa Flamingo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Playa Flamingo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Adventure Pass, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Playa Flamingo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Playa Flamingo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full Day Playa Flamingo Private Fishing Trip?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Snacks; and Lunch. Not included: Towels; and Camera. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
