Overview

Our tour begins at the Curú Wildlife Refuge, a place where you can observe a large number of wild animals before departure time or after the tour.
We are local people who know the coast and the behavior of cetaceans and marine animals very well, which allows us to provide a quality service without affecting the marine life of the place, with more than twenty years of experience.
We carried out the sightings in the Paquera Responsible Fishing Marine Area, a place that Humpback whales visit to have their calves and take care of them for 2 or 3 months.

What's included

  • Fruit snack, water or soda.
  • Right of entry to the Curú Wildlife Refuge
  • Alcoholic beverages
  • Cloths or towels

What to expect

Hikers will take a panga/boat to Curú beach, inside the Curú Refuge. The price includes the right to enter Curú, bathrooms, parking and use of the trails in Curú. The pangas have outboard motors and seats for about 15 passengers. We have several pangas available. The captain will take you on a tour along the coasts of the Tortuga Islands, Negritos Islands or along the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula (southern part) in order to see marine mammals. The tour time is about 3 hours, we did not visit the beach, only searching and observing marine life such as dolphins, turtles or whales. A snack of fruit and soft drinks is shared. Once back at Curú beach, there are restrooms, showers and the terrestrial nature of Curú, such as monkeys, deer, coatis (coatis) and others.
