Experience humpback whales in their natural habitat
Uvita, Costa Rica
Watch humpback whales and dolphins on a guided boat tour in Marino Ballena National Park off Uvita.
Ce que tu peux vivre ici
In the protected marine area of Marino Ballena National Park in Uvita you set off on a guided boat tour to observe humpback whales up close. During the main season these imposing whales are often seen close to the coast together with their calves. Different dolphin species accompany the boat again and again and, with a bit of luck, you may also spot sea turtles or seabirds along the striking rocks and reefs.
The boat tour lasts around 2.5 to 3.5 hours. The starting point is usually directly in the national park. Life jackets, guides as well as snacks and drinks are included. Depending on the weather, you can also go snorkelling around rocky formations. The main season for humpback whales is from December to April and from July to October. Number of participants and group size vary depending on the operator.

Ce que les autres disent de Dolphin Tour
Most travellers experience the tours as well organised and varied. They highlight dedicated guides with lots of information as well as frequent wildlife encounters with whales, dolphins, turtles and sharks. Many look back contentedly on a special day.
When it comes to animal sightings and the underwater world, impressions differ: many enthuse about clear visibility, a lively reef and numerous whales and dolphins, while others see only a few animals, find the reef rather dull or feel the trip is fairly unspectacular. Some also find the price quite high.
Several travellers were surprised at how large the groups on the boat and when snorkelling can be, and that you swim close behind the guide in a group. Depending on the weather, snorkelling can be shorter than planned or even cancelled. Snacks and meals are more substantial than many had expected beforehand.

Ce que les autres disent de Bahia Aventuras
Many travellers find the excursions well organised and varied. The guides come across as very friendly, committed and knowledgeable, and give lots of information about the animals and how the tour works. The catering with snacks, fruit and drinks, as well as the boats and equipment, is generally well received, and the handling of animals is considered considerate.
In terms of value for money, the overall impression is that the tours are worthwhile, although some find them rather expensive for the length or design. Especially when snorkelling, some report short, slightly rushed stops. Several people felt that in heavy rain or rough seas the programme was hardly adjusted. In addition, some complain about slow or missing replies to enquiries.
Several guests would have liked to be prepared in advance for the typical schedule: the day often begins with registration, a briefing and a small snack before you spend several hours at sea. On the water some experience very small, manageable groups, others large, very fast boats – both shape how the tour feels.
