Uvita: Marino Ballena National Park Whale Watching Adventure｜Costa Rica

Begin your adventure aboard a comfortable boat as your captain carefully scans the ocean, using years of local knowledge to identify feeding areas, migration routes, and subtle signs on the water. Together with your naturalist guide's trained eye, have the best opportunity to spot humpback whales, often long before they are visible to most visitors.

Learn about whale behavior, migration, and communication from your guide. Marino Ballena National Park is internationally recognized as one of the most important breeding and nursery grounds for humpback whales in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. During the calving season, mothers bring their newborn calves to these warm, protected waters where they can rest, nurse, and grow before continuing their migration.

While whales are the stars of the experience, every trip is unique. You may also encounter playful dolphins, sea turtles, rays, and occasionally other cetaceans as you explore one of Costa Rica's richest marine habitats. The combination of spectacular wildlife, dramatic coastline, and tropical light also makes this tour an exceptional opportunity for professional and wildlife photography.

The adventure includes a snorkeling stop inside the national park, where you'll discover colorful tropical fish and the underwater biodiversity of the protected marine ecosystem. Snorkeling equipment is provided, allowing you to comfortably explore beneath the surface.

Throughout the tour, your guide shares fascinating insights about the marine ecosystem, conservation efforts, and the importance of protecting this unique national park for future generations. To keep you refreshed, fresh seasonal fruit and drinking water are included during the experience with us.
