Experiencing the rain forest in a sustainable way is the key toprotecting these natural wonders for generations to come.

We are winding down our 15th season here at Crocodile Bay. On October 1st we will close her up for a month for some deep cleaning, tuning up boats and tackle and getting ready to kick off season 16 on October 25th.

Crocodile Bay would like to thank Doug Olander of Sport Fishing Magazine and his family for visiting Crocodile Bay Resort this past week! They had a chance to do some inshore fishing as well as explore the rainforest and surrounding areas of Costa Rica’s rugged Osa Peninsula. Here’s a few photos from their trip!

One of Costa Rica’s finest and safest canopy tours, ziplining through a 17-acre tract of virgin forest called Miramar or “ocean view”.

The tide had just turned and was slowly pushing toward the open ocean. The peak of the reef reaches up 83 feet below the surface. The volcanic terrain sits in the middle of the Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf), in Costa Rica’s southern Pacific region, and the underwater structure is 120 feet below. Bright orange cubera […]
