🌊 About The Divine Dolphin

Since 1998, The Divine Dolphin has been creating life-changing encounters with wild dolphins and whales in their natural habitat off Drake Bay, Costa Rica. Our tours have been featured on National Geographic, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, and countless other magazines, films, and television programs around the world.

We are proud to be Drake Bay’s original dolphin and whale tour—and the only operator here that focuses exclusively on marine life. Dolphin and whale watching isn’t just something we offer—it’s what we live and breathe every day.

Our world-famous tours combine:
✨ The wonder of the ocean’s natural beauty
✨ Fascinating education and research
✨ Conservation in action
✨ And, of course… plenty of FUN!

💙 More Than a Tour – A Transformation

Many of our guests describe their experience with wild dolphins and whales as nothing short of transformational. Encounters often bring:

  • A profound sense of peace and well-being

  • Feelings of bliss, joy, and emotional release

  • A deeper connection to nature and spirit

This is the love and magic the dolphins and whales gift us when we meet them with an open heart.

🐬 Our Marine Wonderland

The waters of Drake Bay are home to over 25 species of dolphins and whales. It’s one of the best places on Earth to encounter marine life, with:

  • Resident pods of hundreds—even thousands—of dolphins (Spotted, Spinner, Bottlenose, Common, and Roughtooth).

  • Several whale species, including the majestic Humpback Whale. Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula enjoys the longest humpback whale season in the world, as migrations arrive from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres—a phenomenon found nowhere else on Earth.

Year-round, the warm, nutrient-rich waters of Drake Bay create a sanctuary where marine life thrives.

🌍 Research, Conservation & Preservation

Our love for this extraordinary ecosystem is matched only by our commitment to protect it. Sadly, commercial fishing poses serious threats to these biodiverse waters. That’s why The Divine Dolphin is actively involved in research, conservation, and education.

We are proud supporters of the MPA for Osa campaign—a movement to establish a marine preserve here. By joining one of our tours, you not only experience the ocean’s magic, you also help us collect valuable data that strengthens the case for lasting protection.

It’s a true win-win: an unforgettable adventure for you, and a safer future for dolphins and whales.

We are proud to be a part the team who made possible the Osa Peninsula being named an Important Marine Mammal Area (IMMA)

Our tour boat, Delfin Amor!

Delfin Amor (Dolphin Love) is our biggest custom designed dolphin and whale watching tour vessel. She was designed for our tours by Sierra, the Divine Dolphin’s owner, for maximum comfort and optimal viewing for everyone. She is open at the front with padding so that people can watch the dolphin and whales without obstruction, which is especially fun when the dolphins are swimming in the bow, as they often do. Delfin Amor has two quiet 4 stroke motors for safety, as well as satellite communication, long-distance marine radio and life jackets. She has a safe and sturdy ladder to get on and off the boat and a stereo for boat music fun. We know you will feel safe and comfortable as you experience our awesome marine wonderland! Delfin Amor is also available for private charters and groups.

Our newest addition to the family, Delfinita!

Delfinita is our newest tour boat. She is super sturdy and smooth. We use Delfinita when we have smaller groups of people and she has quickly become a favorite for up close and personal tours with the marine life of Drake Bay and the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica!
