The Divine Dolphin's Dolphin and Whale tours have been featured on
Animal Planet, Travel Channel, BBC with Steve Backshall, Discovery Channel, Jeff Corwin Experience, Destination Wildlife, in Vegetarian Times Magazine and
more.
Drake Bay, Costa Rica offers some of the best opportunities in
the world to see dolphins and whales and other marine life in their natural
habitat. We have the longest season of Humpback Whales in the world,
as we get humpbacks coming here from both North and South
America. This makes for some of the best whale watching to be found
anywhere! Over twenty five species of dolphins and whales
are either resident or pass through the area on migration.
There's absolutely nothing that compares to the
experience
of seeing these fascinating animals in the wild.
Our Divine Dolphin whale and dolphin tours are both
fun and educational as our staff members collect data, photos and
video of the dolphins, whales, sea turtles and even the commercial fishing boats
as we have been for the past 14 years. Our goal is to help create a protected marine sanctuary
using our data.
When you
join our dolphin and whale tours, you are helping to support this goal and supporting and contributing to the conservation and protection of the
area you are visiting by getting us out there to collect data!
Every dolphin and whale watching tour is different and interesting. There are
days that we encounter
dolphins close to shore, and other days we go far offshore to observe large pods of more than 1000
Bottlenose, Spotted, Common and/or Spinner dolphins. It is possible to witness a new Humpback whale mom teaching her baby to breach or
see several Humpback males compete for female attention.
The Divine Dolphin Tour Operator staff has combined over 30 years experience in dolphin and whale encounters,
tours and research. We do not chase, feed or harass the dolphins and whales.
The Divine Dolphin also offers programs to swim with the dolphins and whales
in other locations around the world. You can visit the Divine Dolphin's main
