Whale Watching in Marino Ballena National Park

In this whale watching activity in the Marino Ballena National Park, participants will sail along the coast of Uvita, known for spotting dolphins and whales.

Activity Details

Guests will meet at a strategic point in Uvita or at the entrance of the Marino Ballena National Park, depending on preference. The trip will begin from a nearby dock, featuring a cruise along the western coast of Costa Rica.

During the sail, participants can expect to see various whales and dolphins, along with different species of sea turtles inhabiting the area. The journey includes a visit to Isla Ballena, where guests can snorkel and swim in the open sea.

Itinerary Order

For organisational reasons, the order of visits may vary.

Whale & Dolphin Watching

The Uvita coast is an excellent location for observing cetaceans. However, animal sightings are unpredictable and can be influenced by weather and breeding seasons, particularly from December to April and July to October.

Rainy Season

Please note that whales are also present from July to October, considered the rainy season in the region, which may affect visibility and activities like swimming or snorkelling.
