MEET THE SPECTACULAR MARINE WILDLIFE OF THE NICOYA PENINSULA

See the giant oceanic manta ray gracefully gliding next to you. Watch the imposing humpback whales swim along the Pacific coast. Dance with the colorful fish as you freedive into their wonderful world. Freediving in Costa Rica is a breathtaking experience full of unexpected magic thanks to its diverse marine life. You will forever change the way you see the world.

Oceanic manta rays

They are the largest of all the ray species on the planet. They can grow as large as 7 meters, or about 23 feet, in width! But don’t worry, they are completely docile and safe to be around.

You will be able to find them if you’re diving in Costa Rica between November and May.

Humpback whales

They make spectacular displays with their fins and tails; if you are lucky, you can even see them jump out of the water!

Northern humpback whales can be spotted between December and April. Southern humpbacks come between July and the beginning of November. For you, this means that, during 9 months of a year, you have a good chance of seeing these magnificent creatures cross the boundary, if only briefly, between the world below and the world above.
