Whale Watching Tour in Costa Rica

The waters surrounding Marino Ballena National Park are ideal for whale watching tour, as the clear, deep blue water allows for easy viewing. This area's most frequently spotted species include Humpback and Pilot Whales, Bottlenose Spotted Dolphins, and other marine life. As always, these sea creatures' presence and exact location are unpredictable with this type of tour. Although sightings cannot be guaranteed, they are frequent in these waters.

The park is fortunate to receive two annual migrations of whales: the Humpback Whale of the North visits the South Pacific Coast from December to March, and the humpback whale of the South begins migration in July, which ends in October.

The tour departs from Punta Uvita Beach. During the trip, sea turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and other marine life are commonly seen out in the water. The dolphin populations are resident, so it is usual to see them more often. You´ll visit “Roca Ballena” to watch birds and the Ventanas Beach Caves. The tour also includes some time for swimming and snorkeling, depending on climate conditions.
