WHALE & DOLPHIN TOUR

Enjoy close-up whale and dolphin sightings you’ll remember forever, without crowded group boats — even if it’s not peak humpback season (dolphins perform year round).

Private Whale &
Dolphin Watching Tour

Picture this: A mama humpback whale breaches, her calf playfully swimming alongside— with zero crowds or camera-blocked views. At Jaguar's Jungle Lodge, the best whale watching in Costa Rica is in our front yard!

​

$300 1-4 guests

Drinks & beer included

Whale season = July - September​

Please note: This tour regularly sells out during whale season as we only do one tour per day!

Why private whale and dolphin watching tours are better

If you have ever spotted whales and dolphins on a panga full of tourists before, you surely thought the following: 

      1. I wish I could move around the boat to see the whales better!

      2. I wish the people in front of me weren't holding their camera in the way of my view!

      3. I wish I wasn't sitting in the middle seat.

      4. I wish I could stand up to see better, but I would obstruct the view of those behind me.

​

Versus our tours:

✔ You can move around the entire boat whenever a whale breaches — no fixed seats.

✔ You can stand up, kneel, or lie on the bow for the perfect shot — nobody behind you to block.

✔ You choose the best spot for photos — no raised cameras in your face.

✔ You set the pace: want to stay longer with a playful calf? We stay. Want to chase a new pod? We go.

In short: the boat is yours, the ocean is yours, and the whales feel like they put on the show just for you.

Our whale watching tour left us speechless as we saw so many whales, including some breaching right in front of us, as well as dolphins dancing alongside the boat. We also went fishing, and my husband proudly caught a blue trevally!​
