When is it Better to Visit for Whale Watching in Costa Rica?
The Guanacaste Province offers a front-row seat to one of the most remarkable whale-watching experiences in the world. The best time to catch these marine species in action is during the annual migration season from June to September. This period marks the peak of the humpback whale migration when these giants make their way through the Pacific waters.
Nonetheless, the most recommended months are January, February, August and September. Plan your visit during these months and get ready for the memories of a lifetime.
Papagayo Gulf: On the northern Pacific coast, Papagayo Gulf welcomes humpback whales during their migration. Join a guided tour to explore the waters and catch a glimpse of these impressive cetaceans. You can book a water adventure with the assistance of our experts in the matter!
Whale Watching Tips:
Morning Excursions: Early morning tours often offer the best visibility and increased chances of spotting whales.
Binoculars and Cameras: Don’t forget your binoculars and cameras to capture those breathtaking moments and create lasting memories.
