August through October is the best time to see the Southern Antarctic Humpback Whales in Costa Rica. (Did you know that Costa Rica has the longest humpback whale season in the world?)
The Golfo Dulce cradled by the Osa Peninsula is the most popular spot for the Antarctic Humpback. With its protected waters and mix of shallow waters and deep ravines, the Golfo Dulce provides the perfect place for the Humpback gatherings.
There are not just a lot of whales to see …. many whales give birth here, and you can see the little babies too.
Seeing humpbacks is easy.
Simply jump on one of the small boats at the local Puerto Jimenez dock and head out into the Golfo Dulce.
During whale season, there is a high chance of multiple whale sightings.
Many are up close and spectacular.
Not only do you see them rise, spout and leap out of the water; you can find mothers nursing their young.
The boat captains love it as much as the guests.
Of course you get the added benefit of touring the Golfo Dulce, which is spectacular: untouched coastlines of sand and jungle with pods of dolphins and turtles sunning themselves on the surface.
Something for everyone to enjoy.
