What is your Ultimate Adventure? Riding shotgun with a pro driver at the Vegas 300?
Learning road-racing techniques at a European driving school?
Or hauling in trophy sailfish, dorado and tuna in Costa Rica with “the Babe” here?
That’s what I thought! And among all those choices that’s what Walt Kelleberg chose when he won the Optima Batteries Ultimate Adventure sweepstakes.
On a globe, I wonder how many of you can quickly pinpoint Costa Rica. There it is… in Central America between Nicarauga and Panama.
This adventure is like no other. A 3 day, 5 night stay at famous Crocodile Bay Resort - - Costa Rica’s finest fishing and eco tour destination. Situated on 44 acres of lush tropical gardens on the Osa Peninsula, the resort is absolutely beautiful.
What’s so unique in this part of the world is that fisherman and eco tourists alike can enjoy the ultimate in creature comforts while being surrounded by breathtaking scenery and exotic wildlife.
To get there, after arriving in San Jose, the final leg of our journey is soaring over the Costa Rican jungle by small plane. The green scenery is intriguing, but our attention quickly turns to the expanse of the Pacific and dreams of great fishing.
The cobalt blue waters, just offshore in the Pacific, combined with the mineral rich waters of the Gulfo Dulce, create and support an endless food source of baitfish in this area. As a result, many open sea species can be caught here throughout the year.
And fishing is the reason Walt signed up for the sweepstakes. Sailfish, Dorado, Tuna, and Roosterfish are on his mind. Thanks to Optima Batteries, Walt, my family, and I get to share a boat together in hot pursuit. And you won’t believe the fish we’ll be getting into on this Ultimate Adventure. So stay with us to find out for yourself why Crocodile Bay Resort is considered Costa Rica’s finest fishing and eco tour destination.
