Dolphin Quest Costa Rica Lodge

Spent an amazing retreat here. From pick up to drop off they took care of me. The accommodations were great. In nature, listening to all the animals. The food was amazing, they go above and beyond! I tried so many new and amazing foods. The perfect spot to regroup and relax! Highly recommend.

It’s always the experience of a lifetime living in nature at Dolphin Quest. Everyone at dolphin quest really values connecting to nature and are very passionate about educating others on being more environmentally friendly and one with nature. Sustainability and environmentalism are strong values at Dolphin Quest that they put into everything that they do, especially into their cooking. Everyone at Dolphin a quest is very health conscious and put a lot of time and energy into eating properly as part of that. They grow a lot of their food on the land, and take the time to teach us about all the food we are eating, sustainable eating and healthy eating in general. I found it very valuable and beneficial to be immersed in a place where mental, physical and spiritual health ate a primary focus. Dolphin Quest is such a healing and memorable experience and I highly recommend it to people of all ages that love being out in nature. Will definitely be coming back to Dolphin Quest soon!

I know the heart that built this is real good people!
Peace and love be with you all.

Exceeding all expectations, I had the most incredible time at Dolphin Quest during the past two months! Unforgettable and one of the best experiences of my life.
The boat trip to go there is already a sensational ride and plunges you in a unique ambiance… if you are lucky you would meet the majestic dolphins even before touching the ground of this paradisiac place. Located in the middle of Piedras Blancas National Park, between wild jungle and warm ocean, this is a privileged spot in Costa Rica where you can have the luck to observe stunning and preserved marine and terrestrial fauna and flora (be awakened by Howlers’ monkeys and Aras every morning is priceless).
The owners of the place know the jungle so well as their home and are very knowledgeable guides. They are doing everything in their power to make your stay memorable. They are always very enthusiastic and excited to make you discover the precious environment they are living in through different activities: jungle trails, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, whales/dolphins tours, botanical tour…
This eco-lodge is trying to be environmental-friendly as much as possible, in communion with nature.

Beautiful location, wonderful people, tasty nutritious meals, options for adventure or peaceful communing with nature. Dolphin Quest has a strong commitment to conservation and environmentalism. I love spending time in nature, so for me this was the best vacation ever!

Dolphin Quest is definitely worth visiting while in Costa Rica. It is the perfect place to completely disconnect and immerse yourself in a rich tropical rainforest. Ran by a local Costa Rican family (Jahza, Reymar and Reymundo), your stay will definitely exceed your expectations. Whether traveling alone or in a large group, Dolphin Quest has various options for accommodations in order to make sure your stay is not only comfortable but also unique. If you're interested in fishing, hiking, site seeing, local fruit and vegetable picking, diving, snorkeling, kayaking etc. This facility has it all. Feel free to contact Jahza or Reymar, they're always willing to help and talk more about your potential stay.

I had the most incredible time at Dolphin Quest. It’s spectacular coming in by boat to a property that is such beautiful lush jungle and mystic mountains. DQ is also home to so much different wild life, so it was super cool to see and hear wildlife all around. I really looked forward to getting early morning wake up calls from Howler monkeys and loved looking around to see all the different birds. Getting to roam around and see all of the different plants and trees not only in the garden, but around the property was neat and cool to learn about. DQ has like 7 different types of bananas lol and I had a blast learning and tasting fruits that I had never seen or heard of. It doesn’t really get much fresher than picking your breakfast, lunch and dinner from around the place.
The place itself is stellar, but what makes it even more special is the people running it. Reymundo, Reymar and Jahza are all incredible and it’s impossible not to respect and admire all the work they put into running Dolphin Quest. Reymar and Jahza are real life Tarzans. Those guys seem to know everything under the sun, not only are they incredibly knowledgeable, but they’re so thoughtful and informative with their answers. Whether it’s in regards to the history of the property, the pronunciation of a fruit, what fish to spear for or anything in between, those guys will more than likely have an answer for you. Their team of Florence, Richie and Fide were also incredibly kind, caring and helpful.

Thanks for having me I had a great time during my short stay at dolphin quest! Jahza and the gang were great host and prepared some delicious meals. We went fishing my first morning there and had enough fish for several meals before lunch time. Fresh snapper with home made coconut milk and fruit and veggies from the garden is hard to beat. The views on the boat ride in and out from golfito alone are worth the trip. Dolphin quest is a beautiful property with several cabins to choose from and an oceanfront soccer field. I had a very fun relaxing stay and wish I could have stayed a few more days. I will definitely be returning soon!

The Klochko family were extremely accommodating of me during my trip to Costa Rica. I would highly recommend making the trip for a beautiful and authentic island get away. With having a particular interest in fishing the diverse population of fish was absolutely unrivaled to anything I have experience in the US.

This place is such a hidden gem, your expectations will be blown away by the natural beauty that surrounds the area! We took a shuttle down from Esterillos Oeste to get to where we were picked up by boat by Reymar and taken to Dolphin Quest. It is such a cool aspect that the property is only accessible by boat because that means you are really in the jungle and there aren't any loud cars or anything to distract from the nature. We had an amazing time eating locally grown food prepared by the in-house chef, snorkeling on pristine reefs, and relaxing in hammocks by the ocean. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for an off the road experience with locals who know everything about the area!

Dolphin Quest Costa Rica provided me with the most scintillating, unique and magical experiences of my life. When I think of adventure in paradise, this place is the perfect image of that. I would recommend Dolphin Quest to anyone wanting to get away, relax and/or experience the truly incredible wonders of nature that Costa Rica provides. All the staff and locals are so friendly and gave me the sense of feeling safe and well informed about my surroundings. 10/10 would recommend.

Dolphin Quest has been one of the best times I've ever had in Costa Rica, the Klochko family is more than willing to spend time with you and guide you the best excursions the area has to offer. We're already planning to return next year!
