Whale Watching in Marino Ballena National Park

In this whale watching activity in the Marino Ballena National Park, we'll sail along the coast of Uvita, one of the best places in Costa Rica to spot dolphins and whales.

Whale Watching in Marino Ballena National Park

After meeting at 8:30 am at the entrance of the Marino Ballena National Park in Uvita, we'll walk to a nearby dock to set off on a cruise along the western coast of Costa Rica.

As we sail, we'll admire different specimens of whales and dolphins swimming in the waters. In addition to spotting these cetaceans, we'll also see different kinds of sea turtles that inhabit this ecosystem.

We will continue to Isla Ballena. There, you will have 45 minutes to snorkel and swim in the open sea.

Afterward, we will return to the boat and sail toward the sea caves of Ventana Beach, where you can take pictures of the caves with their stone arches eroded by the sea.

Finally, at 12 pm, we'll conclude the boat ride by returning to the starting point.

Whale & dolphin watching

The coast of Uvita is notable for watching whales, dolphins, and other cetaceans. However, animal sightings are unpredictable, depending on factors such as weather and breeding seasons of various species.
