Whale and Rainforest Escape

This seasonal package is designed specifically for those who are drawn to Osa for both terrestrial and marine reasons.

Through the months of July to October you get into prime months for whale watching, specifically the humpback whales who migrate long distances to breed and give birth around the bay. The coves act as protection. With this influx of whales close to the shore, as well as the constant flow of wildlife found around Corcovado, we have created the perfect adventure package, Whale and Rainforest Escape. The journey lets our customers enjoy the highlights of our beloved bay.

The tropical and clear, warm waters become a natural sanctuary where hundreds of humpback whales visit to breed and give birth. Sightings of these cetaceans in Costa Rica are rated some of the best in the world for whale watching. Their huge size and complex songs, babies, breaches and blows are some of the attractions these cetaceans offer to whale watchers.

We allow our guests to get to observe these marine mammals just mere yards away, while always maintaining a respect for their safety and comfort. Despite their enormous size, they are able to jump out of the water providing a spectacular show for the ones lucky enough to be there at the right time. Another great highlight is watching the offspring swim and learn, and possibly jump besides the huge mother whale. On this spectacular tour, you might be blessed to see more sea life such as rare pelagic birds, several species of dolphins, sea-turtles and more!

The package also includes a wonderful day trip to Corcovado National Park, the crown of jewel of Costa Rica´s National Park system. Learn more about Corcovado National Park by visiting our park page here.
