The tour starts in our official facilities of Ballena Aventura, then walk to the entrance of the national park, where we will take the boat that will be waiting for us.
We will have the wonderful experience of visiting points such as the Whale Tail or Tombolo of Punta Uvita, and if the conditions of the sea allows, we will do some snorkeling in this area for about thirty minutes and/or we will move to a second point of snorkeling inside the park to Ballena Island, where you will be able to see some migratory birds as well as resident birds of the place.
And leaving a little away of the protected area of the park we will pass by the famous and spectacular complex of Ventanas Caverns, place that if the tide allows, the boat will pass through one of the main caverns.
Also, one of the main reasons why tourists visit the Ballena Bay area is when we are blessed by the arrival seasons of the HUMPBACK WHALES, a first season goes from December to April, where these majestic mammals come from the North and a second season from July to November coming from the South, the latter being the best time to see them, since they come in major quantity and
there are none or not so many bays in which they can stay, this tour will include the search of such impressive mammals. In addition it includes the search of dolphins throughout the year, the most common types are: bottlenose dolphin and Pantropical spotted dolphin and once finished this extraordinary journey we will return to our point of departure, to Uvita Beach.
