What to expect

Listen to Humpback whales sing love songs to one another and feel the great sensation of watching a mammal that weights more than 40 tons, jumps out of the water and splashes with its gigantic tail.
Snorkel and observe dolphins turtles, bi-color parrot fish and more. This tour is the best option to see the best of Marino Ballena National Park. The tour departs from Punta Uvita Beach and visits the famous Punta Uvita Whale Tale, Ballena Island, Tres Hermanas Islets and Ventana Sea Caves. During the tour, we search for Humpback and Pilot whales as well as the three different species of resident dolphins. When granted the opportunity, you might see and hear the Humpback whales and or observe the acrobatic displays of the dolphins. We also visit the coral and rock reefs to snorkel and discover the wonderful marine wildlife.

While cruising in the boat enjoy the scenic beauty of the coastline of Costa Ballena; observe the diversity of pelagic birds in the Islets and the amazing caverns of Ventanas Beach (conditions permitting, our experienced captain will navigate the boat through these wonderful natural water passages to give you a spectacular view!) The Humpback whales regularly pass through Costa Ballena’s Pacific Ocean between mid-July and October, and again in December through March as they migrate to and from feeding and mating grounds.
