Few destinations can claim the level of biodiversity found in Costa Rica. Even fewer can rival the incredible concentration of wildlife found in and around Golfo Dulce.
Nestled beside the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, Golfo Dulce sits at the intersection of rainforest, mountains, mangroves, rivers and marine ecosystems. This extraordinary landscape creates a sanctuary where thounsands of species thrive both above and below the water's surface. The Osa Peninsula is home to an estimated 2.5% of the world's biodiversity, making this an extraordinary destination to reconnect with nature while disconnecting from everyday life.
Visitors regularly encounter scarlet macaws soaring overhead, troops of monkeys moving through the forest canopy, sloths resting in the treetops, and colorful toucans hidden among the dense vegetation. More elusive wildlife—including pumas, jaguars, and ocelots—continues to roam the region's protected forests.
The waters of Golfo Dulce are equally remarkable. Often described as one of the world's few tropical fjords, the gulf provides habitat for dolphins, humpback whales, sea turtles, rays, and hundreds of fish species. It also serves as an important sanctuary for hammerhead sharks, whose presence reflects the gulf's healthy, nutrient-rich ecosystem. Throughout the year, these waters offer exceptional opportunities of unforgettable wildlife encounters.
For charter yacht guests, biodiversity is not limited to a single excursion—it becomes part of the everyday experience. Mornings may begin with the calls of scarlet macaws echoing through the rainforest, while afternoons often bring dolphins swimming alongside the yacht or whales breaching in the distance during migration season.
In Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, nature is not simply an activity, it is the backdrop to every moment, creating an immersive experience found in few places on Earth.
