Each year I conduct a number of exciting “Laptew Safaris” to the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. You can join me on these special trips, where I film some of the most exciting inshore and offshore fishing on earth. Highlights of some of my past safaris can be seen on my “Photo Essays” page – if you would like to attend a future Laptew Safari, I’ll be posting details right here.

The finest accommodations, great food and knowledgeable captains makes Crocodile Bay Lodge one of my favorite fishing destination.
