Incredible macaw activity at hole 6 this morning! Must have been 40+ birds in the mango trees near the fairway. If you haven't done a sunrise golf cart tour yet — do it this week. 🦜

Anyone know a reliable golf cart mechanic? My 4-seater is making a grinding sound on hills. Also happy to share rides to Tambor Tuesday morning if anyone needs. DM me!

BLUE ZONE BIODIVERSITY
Wildlife & Nature
Los Delfines sits within a Protected Biological Corridor on the Nicoya Peninsula — one of the world's Blue Zones. The wildlife here isn't a backdrop; it's a daily miracle.
🦜
Scarlet Macaws
360 macaws call our golf course home — the world's only golf course macaw sanctuary. Previously freed from captivity, they now nest freely in 20+ species of planted trees.
🐒
Howler Monkeys
You'll hear them before you see them. Howler troops move through the community canopy daily. Dawn chorus around 5:30am is nature's alarm clock.
🦌
White-Tailed Deer
50+ deer roam the community freely. They're especially active at dusk near the 7th and 8th fairways. Drive slowly after dark.
🐢
Sea Turtles
Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles nest on our beach. July–November is prime season. Community volunteers run nighttime monitoring patrols.
🦅
Exotic Birds
Over 200 bird species recorded in and around Los Delfines — toucans, kingfishers, herons, frigate birds, and seasonal migrants. A birder's paradise.
🐊
Caimans & More
The mangroves nearby shelter caimans, iguanas, and countless amphibians. Eco-cart tours run weekly — ask at El Rancho to join.
GETTING TO PARADISE
Transport & Arrival
The Nicoya Peninsula is only reachable by ferry or plane — which means Los Delfines stays blissfully off the beaten path. Here's how to get here.
✈️
Fly to Tambor
Tambor Airport (TMU) has several daily flights from San José (SJO). Round-trip ~$160 USD. Sansa and Green Airways operate routes. 5 minutes from the gate.
⛴️
Ferry from Puntarenas
Ferry Naviera Tambor crosses to Paquera (~75 min). Then 45-min drive south to Tambor. Beautiful crossing — book in advance in high season.
🚤
Water Taxi
Fast boats connect Jacó, Montezuma, and Malpaís directly to Tambor. Great option for coastal-hopping adventures.
🚕
Taxi & Shuttle
Private shuttle and taxi services from San José door-to-ferry. Limousine service available. Community WhatsApp has trusted driver contacts.
🛺
Inside the Community
Golf carts are the primary transport within Los Delfines. The winding jungle paths are golf-cart optimized — rent one from our fleet or borrow a neighbor's!
🚴
Bikes & ATVs
Bicycle and ATV rentals available through the community. Perfect for exploring beyond the gates — Montezuma waterfalls, Cabo Blanco Reserve, and more are nearby.

Visitor Tips & Local Knowledge
🌅
Best time to visit
Dec–April is dry season — sunny every day. May–Nov brings the lush green season with afternoon showers and far fewer tourists. Both are spectacular.
🦟
Mosquito prep
Pack DEET-based repellent and bring a few citronella candles. Dawn and dusk near the mangroves can be buggy. The trade-off is the biodiversity is extraordinary.
💧
Tap water is safe
Los Delfines has clean, safe tap water — one of the perks. No need to buy plastic water bottles. Bring a reusable bottle.
💵
Cash & currency
USD is widely accepted in the community. Stock up on colones in Tambor for local markets and restaurants outside the gates. ATM in Cóbano (30 min).
🕔
Tico time is real
Costa Rica runs on a relaxed schedule. Embrace it. Pura vida isn't just a phrase — it's a genuine philosophy. Let your schedule soften.
🔒
Security
The community is 24/7 gated with security patrols. It's one of the safest environments in Costa Rica. All visitors must sign in at the gate — let your host know your arrival time.
