Feel the magic of encountering dolphins on the open sea
Uvita, Costa Rica
Experience dolphins up close off Uvita: by boat with a guide and sometimes even time for snorkelling in Marino Ballena National Park.
What you can experience here
You want to experience dolphins in their natural element? In Marino Ballena National Park near Uvita you glide across the endless Pacific by boat, searching for bright dorsal fins cutting through the water. The wild beauty of the sea, the play of light on the waves and the wide view to the horizon let you feel the rhythm of the coast.
Guided tours start directly in the protected area. With experienced guides you head out, listen to their explanations and keep a lookout for Stenella and common bottlenose dolphins, which often swim curiously around the boat. Some trips include snorkelling stops or short breaks at rock formations. You are usually out for around three hours, with light snacks and drinks on board.
