Activity itinerary

Parque Nacional Marino Ballena
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
Watch in awe as whales & dolphins put on a show as they emerge from the water. This is the favorite spot of humpback whales and several types of dolphins. Depending on the season, the park turns into natural scenery for viewing these animals. Humpback whales arrive every year to carry out their reproductive cycles, at a point in the park with a rocky and sandy formation resembling a whale’s tail. This curiosity is the park’s main attraction. Inside the park you can visit the tombolo (whale’s tail), enjoy and walk along the beaches, or snorkel or scuba dive to see a wide variety of marine life. You can also enjoy the calm ocean that bathes these shores or take a boat trip to nearby islands. In addition to humpback whales, species like the spotted dolphin can be found in these waters, as well as bottlenose dolphins, manta rays, hammerhead sharks, parrotfish and mackerels. Take advantage of your visit and enjoy the attractions of the area, such as surfing, kayaking and waterfalls.
Punta Uvita
  • 1h
Located by the laidback town of Uvita, the Marino Ballena National Park is a must-do for anyone travelling along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Discover everything you need to know for a visit in our trip. Which came first: the whales or the whale tail? Here on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, there’s a most curious case of nominative determinism. Twice a year, humpback whales swim toward the warm waters in order to mate or give birth. The setting on land is absolute paradise: palm trees, golden sands, sunshine, and not a single high-rise in site. Indeed, the whales are certainly not the only mammals who flock here for mating purposes… But, when the tides are low in a corner of this paradise, the waters part to reveal something that really can only be described as a whale tail.
