World-class excursions in the calm waters of the bay.

Experience One of Nature's Greatest Spectacles

Every year, the pristine waters of Golfito and the breathtaking Gulf of Dulce become a sanctuary for one of the ocean's most magnificent visitors—the humpback whale.

Costa Rica is uniquely privileged to host humpback whales from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, creating one of the longest whale-watching seasons in the world. From July through October and again from December through March, these gentle giants travel thousands of miles to the warm tropical waters of the Gulf of Dulce to mate, give birth, and nurture their calves.

Imagine cruising through calm emerald waters surrounded by lush rainforest-covered mountains while keeping watch for the unmistakable sight of a whale breaching the surface. Witness powerful tail slaps, playful calves swimming alongside their mothers, and unforgettable encounters that create memories for a lifetime.

Discover primary rainforests and diverse wildlife.
