Experience dolphins up close off Uvita: by boat, with a guide and sometimes even time for snorkelling in Marino Ballena National Park.

Ce que tu peux vivre ici

You want to experience dolphins in their natural element? In Marino Ballena National Park near Uvita you glide by boat across the endless Pacific, scanning the waves for bright dorsal fins cutting through the water. The wild beauty of the sea, the play of light on the waves and the wide views all the way to the horizon let you feel the rhythm of the coast.

Guided tours start directly inside 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. As a rule you are out for about three hours, with light snacks and drinks on board.

    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.
