Whale Watching (Without Transportation)

This whale watching tour gives you the opportunity to spot pilot and humpback whales at the Marino Ballena National Park near Uvita, on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.

How to meet your guides: this tour does not include transportation. Please arrive at the ASOTU office in Uvita 5 to 10 minutes before your departure time. The guides in charge of your tour will be waiting for you there. No need to present documents at check-in: just give your name at the ASOTU office and your guides handle the park entry. As anywhere in Costa Rica, carrying a copy of your passport is always a good idea.

At Marino Ballena National Park you will board your boat and navigate the coast for approximately three hours in search for whales and dolphins.

You will go past the beautiful rock formations: Roca Ballena, Las Cavernas in front of Playa Ventana and Roca Viuda and Tres Hermanas.
