The activity begins by arriving at our office, in the meeting point where we offer a small snack of coffee, juice, pastries and bananas while you wait for the whole group to arrive and be complete. The group will be transfer by the guide from the office to the beach approximately 300 meters towards the entrance to the Marino Ballena National Park where you will take the boat to start the tour, during the tour we go all over around the Marino Ballena National Park, Piedra Ballena, Tres Hermanas Rocks, Ventanas Caverns and the Punta Uvita Tombolo (whale’s tail), we visit a natural marine birds sanctuary such as Piedra Ballena to be able to see resident or migratory birds and some reptiles such as green iguanas and lizards, within the activity if weather conditions allow it, snorkeling will be carried out in the coral reefs of those wild areas, a search is carried out of cetaceans, whales in their season and dolphins, there is a 95% chance of sighting dolphins and sea turtles (if they come out to breath). At the end of the activity we return to the same starting point if you wish you can stay on the beach or return to the office.

Whale Season in Costa Rica
Humpback whales are observed in two seasons, one from December to the end of March, that are the ones coming from the northern hemisphere and another season from the first weeks of July until the end of October, that are the whales from the southern hemisphere. The most common to observe are the humpback whales. Known for their long migrations. Occasionally you can see Bryde’s whales and Pilot whales. Dolphins are observed throughout the year at 95%, the most common to see on the Pacific coast are the bottlenose dolphins and spotted dolphins. The chances of observing cetaceans are quite high, but they are not guaranteed every day since we are not certain of the exact place where they are and we are working in a place where the animals have a natural behavior.
Start time is 8:30 am every day- please arrive 15 minutes early
