What to expect

The Pacific Ocean and Guanacaste coastline are rich in marine wildlife. The Ostional Wildlife Refuge is about seven nautical miles away by boat and its surrounding waters are a good area for spotting sea turtles. Guests may also encounter schools of spinner dolphins, spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, mantarays and humpback whales (seasonal)
