Crocodile Bay Resort Eco-Guides

From left to right: Eco-guides Jose, Diego, and Dennis (Director of Expeditions)

No other resort on the Osa Peninsula offers such a complete range of adventures both on the ocean and in the rainforest. Each unforgettable experience is carefully planned and overseen by Dennis Atencio, Director of Expeditions. Dennis is certified within the Osa Peninsula Conservation Area (ACOSA) by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) as an Ecological Guide. Joining Dennis are Diego and Jose, who are both certified ICT naturalist guides for the southern zone of Costa Rica.

All three guides are also avid birders, who can not only show you the colorful array of birds that we have here on the Osa Peninsula, but they can mimic a lot of their calls as well. 

Dennis and his full-time staff will safely bring you as close to nature as you wish to get. Expeditions have been expertly crafted within four distinct habitats with all skill levels in mind. Ride in comfort in our beautiful new Mercedes-Benz 4×4 as you shuttle from one eco-adventure to another. From white-knuckle thrills to awe-inspiring sightseeing – there’s so much to explore with Crocodile Bay on the Osa Peninsula.
