Javier Hernandez, Shore Fishing Expert

Nosara Paradise Rentals General Manager Javier Hernandez is the premier authority on outdoor adventures in Nosara. He has led many of our new Kayak Safari Tours and has developed a sixth sense for the super snook of the Nosara River Mouth.

Javier is a master of fishing the Nosara River mouth for tasty and challenging Snook. He is our go-to guy for Fishing Safari Tours and pictures of his catches are all over thisreport …basically if the picture has a Snook in it, Javier is either holding it or is the one who took the picture.

Here’s one he caught on his birthday:

Check out this beauty that dazzled his son Dario:

Get used to it buddy…Daddy is a fisherman!

General Manager of Nosara Paradise Rentals Javier Hernandez took a trip up to the Nosara River mouth for a late-night shore casting battle with the monstrous Snook who frequent this area.

Armed with a Rapala lipped lure and a regular spinning rod, this Snook was no match for Javier. He also lost a MASSIVE Snook but there are plenty more in this river.

Don’t forget that we have more to offer than just blue water fishing…the mountain-fed rivers that roar through this area bring an abundance of life with them. Either from shore or from a kayak, it is not unusual to haul in great Snook like this one.


Great shore fishing by El Jefe!

Ben Richards and Alysia returned home from Nosara today, but before they left they went on the FishingNosara Kayak Safari tour. Check out these great pictures of fishing the scenic Nosara River Mouth.

The Kayak Safari Tours are already hugely popular with the nature appriciating outdoor adventuring crowd; now it is finally catching on with the fishing crowd. This river is chock full of Mangrove Snapper and Snook, so on your next Nosara trip you may want to take a day off of blue water fishing to sample this tranquil day of paddling and casting.

Russ and Nikki’s River Adventure

Adventure awaits around every corner in Costa Rica. Clients Russ and Nikki were on their way home from Nosara when they came upon a washed out bridge.


With no land access to the other side, Russ and Nikki were in danger of missing their outgoing flight in San Jose.

FishingNosara to the Rescue!

After loading their luggage across the river in a sling, it was Nikki and Russ’ turn.

They made it safe to the other side and made it home without further incident.
Great work by Javier, Manuel and Cumi in overcoming this obstacle.

Here is the email she sent to us:

“Thank you!! The trip was quite an adventure, looking back I wouldn’t change a thing!ย  We will be planning a trip back to Nosara during the “non-rainy” season. The staff at Nosara Paradise Rentals are a.m.a.z.i.n.g.!! and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again.”

ย Pura Vida,

FishingNosara is pumped to offer Kayak Safari Tours as a new way to explore the Costa Rican wilderness. Also, these brand-new 13′ Ocean Kayaks are the only way to get to the Mangrove Snappers and supersized Snook at the estuary between the Nosara River and the Pacific Ocean.



To test the new vessels we sent the best of the FishingNosara team to explore the river. On Thursday November 11th the fellas put the Kayaks through their paces and scouted many spots for future fishing expeditions.


Captain William made his way to the train bridge overpass to make sure the boys were staying out of trouble. Our crews certainly look out for each other.

Our first Kayak Safari client was Eduardo Barrios on Saturday November 13th. Accompanied by Guide Johnny, Mr. Barrios explored the river and the saw tons of wildlife. Also he did some more preliminary scouting for Snook.



Recently client Hal Breedlove and his group went out with Javier on Thursday November 18th for a 3 hour trip down the river. The saw incredible natural beauty and had an absolutely fantastic time.






Kayak Tours provide an economical way to fish and explore the wilderness of Costa Rica. Check out the Safari Tours section of FishingNosara.com for all the details.
