Help edit my Spanish paragraph
I am trying to say the following:
If I had went to Costa Rica last summer, I would have had fun. I would have went surfing almost everyday. I think that while I was there I would have tried some new foods. I like trying to eat something I am not familiar with on almost every vacation. While there I would have enjoyed seeing dolphins and other wildlife that we don’t have here in Washington. I would have loved to go golfing at one of their golf courses. The views would have been amazing, something I would never forget. I bet that the weather would have been nicer than it is here. I would have loved to go bungee jumping and later try to go fishing. Last summer the fishing was great. They received some of their record fishes. Another thing that I would have loved to try was to go mountain biking. I could have went into town and bought some gifts for people back home. I know the food would have been awesome. I think it would have been cool to get a huge plate of authentic Costa Rican food and go sit on the beach and watch all the surfers. Later I would have come back and watched the sunset and surfers. I heard that they have really good sea diving. It would have been cool to see a sea turtle or other fish. I think that if I went I would have been taking picture during the whole trip. Having those memories would have been priceless.
What can I change in the following to make it more accurate?
Si se me subió a Costa Rica el verano pasado, me he divertido. Me hubiera fui a navegar casi todos los días. Yo creo que mientras estuve allí me han tratado algunos nuevos alimentos. Me gusta tratar de comer algo que no estoy familiarizado con el casi todas las vacaciones. Aunque me hubiera gustado ver a los delfines y otras especies silvestres que no tenemos aquí en Washington. Me hubiera encantado jugar al golf en uno de sus campos de golf. Los puntos de vista habría sido increíble, algo que nunca olvidaría. Apuesto a que el clima habría sido más agradable de lo que está aquí. Me hubiera encantado ir puenting y luego tratar de ir a pescar. El verano pasado la pesca era grande. Ellos recibieron algunos de los peces de su registro. Otra cosa que me hubiera encantado probar era ir en bicicleta de montaña. Podría haber fue a la ciudad y compró algunos regalos para la gente de vuelta a casa. Sé que la comida habría sido impresionante. Creo que hubiera sido genial conseguir un enorme plato de comida auténtica de Costa Rica e ir sentados en la playa y ver todos los surfistas. Más tarde me hubiera vuelto y miraba la puesta del sol y surfistas. He oído que han buceado en muy bueno. Hubiera sido genial ver a una tortuga marina y los demás pescados. Creo que si me iba yo habría sido la toma de fotos durante todo el viaje. Tras esos recuerdos hubiera sido inestimable.

I realize you are asking for Spanish help and I apologize, I can not help you there, at least not directly. I hope that in helping you with some English, it may help you to arrive at the Spanish you desire.
Gone and Went are part of the conjugation of To Go. Gone is the past participle and requires an auxiliary verb. "If I had gone to bed earlier," "I could have gone surfing."
Went is the past tense and does not use an auxiliary verb. "I could have went to bed" does not compute. "I go to sleep, I went to sleep, I have gone to sleep."
I suspect that is why Gekko asked about your native language and what Waltieco was pointing out. Oops, at least for starters.
You might also want to reconsider: "I would have loved to have gone golfing." It's a tense agreement thing.
But I like your story! I applaud your efforts, and I wish you luck!
You have been here for a while and have participated enough to see how the system works. May I suggest that you plug in some of the corrections, and maybe even delete your comment after Waltieco's post, to show that you are open to suggestions?
Either way, I wish you the best.
