We invite you to explore one of the most beautiful National Parks in Costa Rica, the Ballena Marine National Park, located near the town of Uvita on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Our Whale Watching tour gives you the opportunity to spot pilot whales and humpback whales as they migrate north during their mating season, following the warm waters of the Central Pacific Ocean. This whale watching tour starts in Manuel Antonio and takes about a 1 hour drive to the Marino Ballena National Park, on the way our naturalist guide will explain the history of our town and will show you different beaches such as Dominical, Playa Matapalo, Playa Uvita.

Once on the boat and the tour has started, you will sail along the Pacific Ocean coast for three hours in search of whales and dolphins, passing through the beautiful Roca Ballena, the Caverns in front of Playa Ventanas and Roca Viuda y Tres Hermanas, an exceptional rock system natural. Whale watching is not an exact science; therefore, we cannot guarantee to spot one. However, the chances of seeing a whale are very high! A minimum of 4 people is required for the Whale Watching Tour from Manuel Antonio or Quepos Area, or in the event that less than 4 people want to participate, they must cover the cost equivalent to 4 adults

This tour operates from July 15 to October 15

Pick-up time: 7:00 a.m. m.
