Male: If you’re one of those people who like a good dose of action on your vacation, you’ll have no problem running from one thing to the next in Costa Rica. Sea-kayaking in the jungle is a great way to explore Costa Rica’s diverse ecosystem. Female: Watch out for the crocodiles! The coastline is dotted with calm base - perfect places for novice kayakers to practice riding the waves. Male: As alternative activities along the coast, you can take horse-back riding tours deep into the countryside. Female: On the waters of the Raventazon, international kayak teams fine-tune their skills for Olympic competition. Male: What part of Austria are you from? Male 2: I’m from the east part of Austria. I think one o f the best place is off the road because you have white water and warm weather too and it’s the best place to train and to get white-water experience for the races. Male: Adrenaline junkies get hurl themselves from 260-foot Bridge. Male 3: Many people get really afraid of bungee because they don’t know what it is. It’s not as dangerous as it looks. Up from there, it always helps to just scream. If you want to scream, just scream as loud as you want. Female: Okay. Male 3: Ready? Female: That’s the scariest part. Male: Did you like it? Female: Yes, hanging upside down for a while. Male: Is it still exciting for you as the first time? Male 3: Always, I think, up here, I’m afraid, yes. And the day that I won’t, I wouldn’t jump anymore. Male 2: If there are no scared jerks, it’s no fun. Male 3: The idea here is to be scared as you ever thought. Male: Costa Rica’s pacific waters attract anglers from all over the world. Male 4: We—sail fish, occasionally we’ll snag a—.It’s just a big rush. It’s a lot of adrenaline but, we explained to our client we don’t want to kill these fishes. We’re going to catch and release. Female: Catching the big one was certainly a thrill but, what happened next really made our day. Our attention was drawn to the bow where a pot of dolphins has joined us for a ride. We stopped the boat for a little spontaneous interaction with these playful creatures. Male: Underwater, we could hear the high-pitched sounds of the dolphins speaking to each other. At first they captured distance but soon they seem to be as curious about us as we were above them.
