The Experience
What your day looks like
The Whale Watching & Dolphin Encounter Combo Tour is the best option to see the most of the Marino Ballena National Park. When granted the opportunity, you might see and hear the song of the Humpback Whales and or observe the acrobatic displays of the dolphins making this trip the best Whale watching tour of Costa Rica. Others species that are seeing occasionally during this are: Bryde’s Whales, Pilot Whales, False Killer Whales and other marine life. *The Humpback whales visit the waters of Costa Rica and the Ballena marine national park between mid-July to October late (Southern Humpback Whales), and again in mid-December through late March (Northern Humpback Whales) as they migrate to and from feeding and mating grounds. The snorkeling is good only during the dry months (November late through June) due to visibility. The Bottle Nosed Dolphins and Pacific spotted Dolphins are regularly seeing year round in the waters of the Ballena Marine Park .

The journey, in full
The Boat departs from Punta Uvita Beach and visits the famous Punta Uvita Whale’s Tail, Ballena Island, Tres Hermanas Islets and Ventana Sea Caves. During the tour we search for *Humpback Whales (seasonally) and two different species of resident *Dolphins. We also visit the coral and rock reefs to snorkel and observe the wonderful marine wildlife of the Ballena Marine Park. While cruising in the boat you can enjoy the scenic beauty of the coastline of Costa Ballena and observe the diversity of shore and pelagic birds nesting and roosting in the Islets of the park. During the trip our captain will take you to the caverns of Ventanas Beach where you can observe wonderful rocky formations and an amazing caverns that were carve by the ocean and tectonic movements during thousands of years. This tour is very popular in Bahia Ballena and highly recommended for all the family visiting this side of the Osa peninsula, Costa Rica. When we are not in whale season (November, part of December, April and June) the tour combines Dolphin encounter, visiting caves, bird watching and snorkeling if the tide conditions are good.
