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, a notable location in Costa Rica for spotting dolphins and whales.

Activity Details

We will meet at 8:30 am at the entrance of the Marino Ballena National Park in Uvita and walk to a nearby dock to begin our cruise along the western coast of Costa Rica. During the sail, participants can expect to see various species of whales and dolphins, along with different kinds of sea turtles inhabiting this ecosystem.
