One of the most exciting parts of cruising with Costa Cat isn’t just the destination — it’s the incredible wildlife you’ll meet along the way.
The Pacific waters of Costa Rica are teeming with life, and we love sharing that magic with our guests. Whether you’re a nature lover, an amateur photographer, or just someone who gets excited seeing a dolphin leap out of the water — you’re in for a treat.
🐋 What You Might See
Here are just a few of the marine species commonly spotted on our cruises:
- Dolphins: Often playful and curious, they love swimming alongside our catamaran.
- Sea Turtles: Watch them come up for air — especially around Isla Tortuga.
- Colorful Fish: While snorkeling, you’ll be surrounded by parrotfish, angelfish, and butterflyfish.
- Manta Rays: Graceful and often visible near the surface.
- Whales (seasonal): From July to October, you might spot humpback whales during their migration.
🌊 Snorkeling Adventures
Our snorkeling tours are a chance to get even closer to the action. In the warm, clear waters near Isla Tortuga, you’ll explore vibrant coral reefs full of life. Equipment is included, and our guides will be nearby to help spot cool species and ensure everyone’s safety.
📸 Pro Tips for Wildlife Watching
