With its coral reefs, sea turtles, dolphins, manta rays, whales and sharks, nearby Caño Island will appeal to divers and snorkellers alike who are keen to discover one of the globe’s most outstanding marine destinations. 

Renowned as the home of Costa Rica’s big game fishing, Golfo Dulce can host a variety of exciting fishing activities within a few miles of shore where you can angle for marlin, sailfish, dorado, wahoo, roosterfish and many more.

If land-based adventures appeal, the only decision is where to begin. Sail over dense green rainforest on an exhilarating zipline from the top of Puerto Jimenez mountain before canyoning down waterfalls and enjoying a hike through the beating heart of the jungle.

A tour of Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula will take you through a conservation zone of the largest primary forest on the American Pacific coastline. Hike in natural habitats and prepare for sightings of the reserve’s resident population of squirrel monkeys as well as endangered species including tapirs, jaguars, ocelots and scarlet macaws.

Nature lovers will also enjoy a trip to Piedras Blancas National Park, which was created in 1993 to protect the only remaining lowland tropical rainforest in Golfo Dulce. Nature trails, waterfalls and beaches are plentiful here.

And no trip to Golfito is complete without a tour of its amazing city where you can learn about its early history as a banana port, marvel at the pre-Colombian spheres and admire its beautiful sights, tastes and sounds.

When the day is done, head back to the marina’s exclusive La Playa restaurant to enjoy stunning views, fine dining, delicious fish and seafood platters and amazing service.
