Go dolphin and whale watching in Golfo Dulce At the very bottom of Costa Rica, the placid blue waters of the Golfo Dulce

shine like a mirror most days, reflecting occasional clouds and the immense cerulean sky. Its calm surface is broken by the odd small, local boat cruising along, but the most action is caused by dolphins frolicking or fishing, sea turtles swimming, fish jumping out of the water, and marine birds diving for those fish.

waters with the dramatic rainforest canopy in the background. Keep your eyes open for dolphins and other marine life swimming by.

minutes from the mouth of the Pacific Ocean, Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge is perfectly located to enjoy both world class off-shore (i.e. deep sea) and in-shore fishing adventures! We offer a variety of fishing opportunities -ranging from a casual hour of late afternoon fishing right off our pier for small bonito or snapper to a full day of world class sport fishing for sailfish, marlin, tuna and dorado. And… lots of options in between.
