Cabo Tours Mal País

Born and raised on this coast

We run our own pangas out of Mal País, a wild stretch of Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast where the inshore reefs and the offshore blue water sit minutes apart. Whether you want a family morning chasing tuna or a full day after roosterfish, you go out with captains who fish these grounds every week.
