There are many reasons to visit Costa Rica, including the opportunity to explore the world-famous cloud forests, the breathtaking beaches in the Tamarindo region, the verdant treks, and the secret waterfalls in the jungle. On the other hand, if you are a person who is passionate about nature, one of the most compelling reasons to travel to this country is the possibility of seeing one of the many whale species that are found there. There are up to 34 different species of whales and dolphins that call the shores of Costa Rica their home, according to scientific data. The whale population in Costa Rica's waters is rather amazing.

Because of this, the region is visited by thousands of tourists, many of whom choose to stay at resorts such as Playa Cativo Lodge, which is located just across from the Osa Peninsula. Despite the fact that it is not the only luxury eco-lodge in the area, it has just launched a selling point that may give it an advantage over its competitors, at least when it comes to attracting tourists who are interested in whales: a "whale warranty."
With the Dolphin and Whale-Watching Quest excursion, guests can feel relatively certain about their chances of seeing humpback whales. The lodge offers a wide variety of activities that are centered on animals, but the tour is particularly noteworthy. In the event that clients do not encounter a humpback whale while on the excursion during the months of August and October, they will receive a full refund for the tour. And in addition to that, Playa Cativo will provide clients with a complimentary spa treatment that lasts for sixty minutes in order to alleviate some of the inconvenience of not being able to watch whales. As a result of the whale guarantee, clients have the opportunity to reclaim their money or put it toward wildlife activities such as another attempt at whale watching, a midnight stroll through the rainforest, or a wilderness excursion in Corcovado National Park.
During the months of August through October, the Playa Cativo Lodge offers rates that begin in the high forties per night. Travelers always have the option of staying somewhere less expensive and booking whale-watching cruises through local firms headquartered near Puerto Jimenez on the Osa Peninsula. If that is too steep for them, they can always stay somewhere else.
