The following images have been shared directly by the company operating this tour. However, we like to remind our guests that it is simply not possible to make any promises or guarantees regarding wildlife, since we are in their natural habitat and not a zoo. Depending on the circumstances it is very possible to spot dolphins in this area and during the migration of the humpback whales they frequently cruise these waters, as well. Even with little animal activity this tour takes place in one if the most beautiful settings in Costa Rica and it is definitely recommendable.

The islands of Manuel Antonio were formed millions of years ago as a result of seismic activity. Today they are home of a hundred of seabirds, that you will see from the catamaran.

Between the coast of Manuel Antonio and Quepos, dolphin sightings are very common. Along with dolphins, marine birds and turtles it is possible to see humpback whales migration from the south when they are in breeding season in the months of July to mid-September. And the northern migration from December to March.

For this tour we recommend that you bring swimsuit, light clothing, towels, a hat and sunblock to protect your skin. The boat has plenty of shaded areas, but the Costa Rican sun is super strong and it only amplifies when on the water. If your skin is not used to this, you need to really be protective of it. The construction of a catamaran makes the sailing much smoother than going on a regular sailboat. In case you do struggle with seasickness it is recommended that you take a motion sickness pill before, but our experience is that most people do not feel any discomfort on a regular day.

If you would like to purchase pictures taken by a professional and really talented photographer or tip your guides, we recommend that you bring cash. Either dollars or the local currency – colones. Other than that you only have to bring your adventurous spirits and a lot of Pura Vida! The rest will be taken care of.

Be respectful of your surroundings – people, animals and environment.
