Copa de Arbol Beach and Rainforest Resort located in Drake Bay, Osa Península in the South Pacific of Costa Rica, posted the following video of a group of Devil Rays as they jump and “fly” out of the water in what is a beautiful and unique spectacle.
It is not uncommon to see groups of devil rays doing acrobatics in the air. Although marine biologists are not 100% sure why the devil rays do this there are several theories, some believe that they jump to try to get rid of some of the remora fish that adhere to their bodies; others believe it helps them escape from predators, while others think it is part of their mating ritual to attract the attention of females, but it could just be a form of communication.
The area of Santa Elena in Guanacaste is another area where you can witness this wonder of nature, especially during the months of December through February.
Copa de Arbol is a luxury resort in the remote Drake Bay, nested in the rainforest and with access to the peaceful waters of this area.
The post was made on March 8th “We’re still seeing these Devil Rays in the Bay, but not like this day! We, along with all of our guests who were also able to witness this over the last few days, are still day dreaming about it… ?
