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

Departing from the shores of Uvita, this small-group adventure takes you deep into the stunning waters of Marino Ballena National Park — one of the world’s most important whale-watching destinations.

Unlike standard tours, this experience focuses on respectful wildlife observation and meaningful interpretation. Your expert captain and guide will help you understand the behavior of humpback whales and dolphins while ensuring a safe and responsible encounter.

Depending on the season, you may witness humpback whales migrating from both hemispheres, a rare natural phenomenon that makes this region unique worldwide. Dolphins can often be seen year-round, playfully accompanying the boat.

Along the way, explore dramatic coastal landscapes, including sea caves, rock formations, and the famous Whale Tail sandbar. You’ll also have time to swim in warm tropical waters. (No snorkeling during the rainy season).

Why this experience is different:

Operated by a local family with deep roots in Bahía Ballena
Focus on ethical and non-invasive wildlife encounters
Small groups for a more personal experience
Combination of nature, education, and adventure

This is not just a tour — it’s a deeper connection with the ocean and the incredible wildlife of Costa Rica.
