After breakfeast, we drive through the rainforest to the town of Golfito. The motorboat ride up the beautiful coast of Golfo Dulce is an unforgettable experience, passing by uninhabited beaches surrounded by pristine rainforest. Dolphins are often seen, and some lucky guests have even observed humpback whales and whale sharks. After an hour, we reach isolated Casa Orquideas. Ron and Trudy Macallister have lived here since the 1970’s and created a botanical garden full of colourful tropical trees and exotic plants including many species of orchids. After a tour of approximately 1½ hours, we have ample time for a swim in the 85 F. ocean and a picnic lunch on the sandy beach before returning to Golfito and the lodge.
