Botanika / Crocodile Bay is where we've conducted over 20 Costa Rica workshops, so I'm familiar In fact, we still use them as our Osa resort for workshops and our participants love it.We were there in March and while my two Sons aren’t avid photographers, he sparked their creative interests, even though they just had IPhone 11’s! He was excellent at making suggestions when we were coming upon a photo opportunity, as well as when we were taking pictures. Getting desirable positioning of the subject, along with sharp AF, can be a real challenge as monkeys are moving through the trees. If he saw one of us was struggling, he would make a suggestion as to where to move to, to get that desired “keeper”! We got great pictures of all four breeds! Dennis provided assistance/suggestions in a very comfortable/personable manner.
Additional comment:
1) during our one week visit, we also spent two days fishing at Osa Penninsula and the four of us caught 40+ fish (10+ species) with must ranging from 10# to 65#. Guessing we caught in excess of 500# of fish - all catch n release except for two 5#-10# daily) for fish tacos/frying - one for us and one for guide. Guide Corey had a great boat and daily rate was very reasonable!
2) a fabulous resort (Botanical) has just been opened there as well. They are selling units, but I think they also have rentals.
Check it out!
They do a great job as you say. We've been fishing, whale watching, and of course we done a ton of photography. They do rent the condos and Rose and I stayed in one for a month last year running our the 2022 workshops. Super nice.
