I had a wonderful time on my whale watching trip—the ocean was beautiful, the weather was perfect, and the boat ride itself was exciting due to large waves. We spotted some sea turtles and fish, which was a nice surprise. However, I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t see any whales or dolphins as I had really hoped too see them. Still, it was a memorable experience and worth the adventure.

The guide, Jeffrey, did a really great job! We felt very comfortable the entire time. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but we were there off-season and saw a lot of Atlantic spotted dolphins.

Excellent! Two hour shuttle from airport to Jaco Beach. Frank was very knowledgeable, fluent in conversational English. Shared Costa Rican facts. Great experience.

The teacher pushed you to your appropriate level, he was very encouraging and connected to the ocean.
