Golfo Dulce Island Trip

True to its name, Golfo Dulce or ‘Sweet Gulf’ presents stunning vistas filled with vibrant shades of green and blue. Cradled between the Osa Peninsula and the southern Pacific coastline of Costa Rica, Golfo Dulce has a wealth of ancient rainforests, intricate mangroves, tropical rivers and sea-kissed beaches. Not surprisingly, the area boasts of one of the richest zones of biodiversity in this part of the country. To protect this natural wealth, the Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve was established in 1979 and spans over 149,500 acres. The protected inner coast of the Gulf is one of the only four tropical fjords in the world, and its placid waters are perfect for sea kayaking. On a clear warm day, you might even get lucky and spot dolphins and seasonal whales when out at sea.
