From July until the end of October and again from December until the end of February you can see the humpback whales in the Pacific waters of Costa Rica.
This natural spectacle is quite impressive and of extreme pleasure for lovers of nature, the sea and especially cetaceans. Groups of whales come to the warm waters of the Pacific to give birth and let their calves grow while they energize and grow. From July to October it is the humpback whales from South America that visit us, and from December to February it is the North Pacific whales that come. It is quite common to see them in the Pacific waters, either far out to sea or, on several occasions, quite close to the coast. Watching them jump like torpedoes, or explode their huge tails over the water is a very impressive sight indeed.
When it is not whale season, it is also common to see dolphins. There are up to 8 species of dolphins in the Pacific waters of Costa Rica, although the most common are the Bottle-beaked dolphin, the spinner dolphin and the Pacific spotted dolphin. Our dolphin and whale tour can combine dolphin and whale watching with other activities, such as visiting remote beaches, snorkeling in a remote islet or simply touring the coast. Other species that can be seen are sea turtles, as well as different species of sea birds, some of which have the funny habit of landing on the boat or yacht in which you are traveling. The tour normally lasts 4 hours, in the morning or afternoon, although it can be extended to a full day tour including lunch at a remote beach.
