Of all the Costa Rica tours to choose from, this dolphin and whale watching adventure tour  is one that  you will never forget! It truly is one of the best Costa Rica attractions to experience.

You will have an excellent opportunity to see humpback whales propel themselves out of the Pacific Ocean, back-flipping into the waves. Whale watching is a really captivating experience and at a cheap rate this really is one of the best Costa Rica adventure tours available. The three-hour adventure tour will give you spectacular views of Drake Bay, Caño Island, and the beautiful Costa Rican beaches of Playa Dominical and Playa Bahia Ballena. 

The dolphin and whale watching tour will take you out into protected marine territory where whales, dolphins, sea turtles and tropical fish are in abundance. This particular part of the southern Pacific belongs to the Costa Rica National Park of Marina Ballena in the Osa Peninsula. As an additional bonus, try to spot the sandbar at Playa Punta Uvita at low tide; years of natural erosion have fittingly created a beautiful formation of whale’s tail.Enjoy the ultimate eco-tourist attraction: Dolphin and whale watching. Whales migrating from both hemispheres pass by Costa Rica, so you have a pretty darn good chance of seeing whales if you go to hot spots like Drake Bay. There are huge resident populations of dolphins up and down both of Costa Rica's coasts, so it's pretty likely you can catch a glimpse of these playful creatures as well.

Killer whales, pilot whales, sei whales and beaked whales, bottlenose, spinner, roughtooth, rhissos and spotted dolphins are all seen in Costa Rica's tropical waters. Contact us to arrange dolphin or whale watching tour.
