WATCHING
COSTA RICA
Witness the Giants of the Pacific
Costa Rica holds a truly extraordinary place
in the world of humpback whales.
Each year, these magnificent giants travel
thousands of kilometers from the cold waters
of Antarctica in the Southern
Hemisphere and from the North Pacific,
including waters toward Alaska,
to reach the warm tropical waters of Costa Rica.
Here, humpback whales find warm and welcoming
waters where they can
mate, give birth and nurture their calves.
Mothers spend precious weeks caring for their
newborns and helping them grow stronger.
During this remarkable period, young whales
begin learning the skills they will need before
beginning the long journey back toward their
colder feeding grounds with their mothers.
Discover the extraordinary journey humpback
whales make across thousands of kilometers
to reach Costa Rica.
Warm tropical waters provide a special
environment for mothers and their
newborn calves.
Experience one of nature's most breathtaking
spectacles from the Pacific waters
of Costa Rica.
Responsible whale watching helps protect
marine wildlife while creating meaningful
encounters with nature.
