DAY 4 - 645AM Flight from Golfito, Costa Rica to San Jose. Arrival in San Jose at approximately 8am

Quite often, guests arrive in San Jose prior to noon the day before their first day of fishing. Since the last flight from San Jose to Golfito departs at 4pm, guests can choose to make this same day transfer to the Lodge. Pending space availability, guests have the option to make a same day connection and arrive at the Lodge one day prior to the actual start of their trip, hence the “PRE-DAY check in”. Alternatively, when the Lodge is full, guests may request to be accommodated in the Golfito marina hotel. Additional charges for this PRE-DAY check in are rated pending the guests’ arrival time at the Lodge.

Your fishing day starts with breakfast at 5:30am and your dock call is at 6am. Your lunch will be packed for you on the boat. You will return to the Lodge around 3:30pm–4:00pm at which time you will enjoy leisure time either resting, swimming in our salt water pool, telling fish stories, strolling on the beach, taking a dip in our 80 degree ocean, enjoying drinks and bocas at the bar, napping, etc. Dinner is normally served between 6:00–6:30pm.

Yes, quite often a nonfisher will choose to accompany their friend or mate on a fishing trip to our Lodge. For nonfishing companions, the rate is comprised of a domestic transfer fee and a daily all inclusive rate. Please check with your reservations agent on seasonal pricing.

There are many tours and excursions offered at the Lodge. Depending on guests’ personal interests, there are beautiful rainforest hikes, treks to nearby National Parks, thrilling zipline rides through the rainforest, horseback riding on the beach, rappelling down waterfalls, or relaxing by our saltwater pool or walking our quiet Zancudo Beach. The Lodge also has standup paddle boards, bicycles, fishing kayaks, etc. for rent. Whether you are a nature person or not, you won’t get bored and will undoubtedly fall in love with the safety of this off the beaten path town of Zancudo and its natives.

Sansa stipulates a 30lb (13.61kg) baggage weight limit which includes one carry on and one checked luggage per passenger. They may carry excess weight at an additional USD $1.50 per pound based on weight, measure, and availability. Because Sansa is cautious with aircraft weight and balance, there may be rare luggage holdoffs, however your piece(s) will be flown on the next available flight. We highly suggest that if you are coming on the early Sansa flight for your first fishing day, you arrive fully attired or carry on what you need for that day to prevent delays.
