Whales and Dolphins - Ballena Marine National Park

Guided tour of the Ballena Marine National Park, the first national park created in Costa Rica to protect marine resources, and at the same time, one of the best places in the world for whale watching according to National Geographic. The Ballena Marine National Park protects more than 13,000 acres of ocean and 9 miles of coastline. Comprised of mangrove forests, coral reefs and pristine beaches, the national park is the best option for travelers who want to enjoy nature in its purest state, while escaping the daily hustle and bustle.

Live the experience of spotting species such as humpback whales. These cetaceans visit us to carry out their reproductive cycle in two different seasons (from January to April and from July to November). It is also highly likely to see False Orcas, Pacific Spotted Dolphins and Bottlenose Dolphins, as well as two species of Sea Turtles (Lora Turtle and Black Turtle).

Inside the National Park is Ballena Island, a natural sanctuary for birds such as white ibises and pelicans, among others. This tour is offered not only to appreciate and learn about local species and seabirds, but you will also learn a lot about the history and culture of the area, which is enchanting.

Please take into consideration that our company cannot guarantee the sighting of all the mentioned species since it is nature and is often unpredictable. However, we promise to do our best.
