Golfo Dulce has many resident groups of dolphins all year long. Sometimes we see 3 different species of dolphins and porpoise in a day.

It is not permitted to swim with he dolphins in Costa Rican waters but we do take time to swim and snorkel at some amazing beaches during the tour.

Our Humpback Whale migration starts in May and trickles down to just a few by October but we do see other species of Finback whales, Pilot Whales and even Whale Sharks!

Up to 10 people can go on this amazing trip to see the Golfo Dulce. We are lucky to have this marvel of nature in our backyard.
