The Bahia Aventuras Combo Tour is the best option to see the most of the Marino Ballena National Park. The Boat departs from Punta Uvita Beach after a safety briefing from our guide. This trip explores the Marino Ballena National Park searching for the majestic Humpback Whales ( Late December through late February / Mid-July through late October ) and for other marine wildlife such as the Pacific spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins , seabirds (pelicans, frigate birds, brown boobies and more) , and sea turtles. Water visibility is typically great during the dry season ( December through April ) , so we will try to maximize this opportunity for you , and allow for some snorkeling (3-5 meters deep) at whale island, also referred to as “whale rock,” and also to the Whale’s tail ( if tides allow ) where you can observe turtles, bi-color parrot fish, Angel fish, puffer fish and much more. During the rainy season ( June to November ) you will get the opportunity to enjoy a dip in the ocean instead of snorkeling ! Additionally on this trip, we’ll pass by the incredible natural formation of the whale’s tail and a brief pass by Ventanas beach to see and learn about the wonderful marine caves that were carved by the ocean. Depending on the ocean tides, we’ll either briefly stop at Ventanas or Arco beach to enjoy some fresh fruits. Throughout the entirety of this trip, you’ll enjoy the wonderful landscape that the South Pacific region of Costa Rica has to offer.
WHAT'S INCLUDED: Bilingual guide, mineral water, tropical fruits, entrance fees, snorkeling gear.
