Dolphin and Whale Watching with the Divine Dolphin – Pelagic Tours

We always do our best to provide you with the best tour possible. In our 22 years conducting this experience here in the marine wonderland of the Osa Peninsula, we have had dolphins and/or whales on every tour and have never been shut out. You will see dolphins and/or whales, but how many and what they are doing when we find them is up to wild and free nature. Just read our reviews on Trip Advisor to see how often we score big!

We cannot control the behaviors of the dolphins and whales and certainly they are more social and friendly on some days and less so on others. Sometimes the dolphins are playful and super friendly and some days they are quietly resting, although they usually still let us hang out with them. Some Humpback moms bring their new babies over to the boat and other moms, usually the new moms, are a little more protective of their babies.

Every day is different, and no two tours are alike. Sometimes we find dolphins and/or whales close to shore and sometimes we travel many miles offshore to see the mega pods of offshore dolphins that can number in pods of thousands. It all depends on what we see along the way and the state of the ocean.
 
On rougher days, we tend to stay closer in, but that is not a problem because we have over 2000 Pantropical Spotted Dolphins that hang pretty close to the coast. Sometimes they are spread out wide in smaller sub-pods, and sometimes they all join together into a mega pod.
 
During prime whale season, which is late July through October, we mostly focus on the Humpback Whales who stay close to shore or around Caño Island. For dolphin lovers, don’t worry, they are always around and many times they hang out and play with the whales, especially the babies.

For the consideration of other guests on the boat, please do not bring the spray-type sunblocks as it not only gets on you, but on everyone else and on our boat too and it stains. And for you and the ocean’s safety, we recommend non-toxic, non-waterproof types of sunblock. Did you know that the waterproof, toxic chemical sun blocks are smothering coral to death in high tourist areas? Please help us be a part of the solution.

Our boat is equipped with seats with backs for your comfort and a top for shade.
