About This Tour
Experience the magic of Bahía Ballena, home to the world’s longest whale-watching season, lasting an incredible eight months! Witness the awe-inspiring sight of humpback whales as they migrate to these warm tropical waters. Your adventure begins with check-in at our property, followed by a scenic 15-minute hike through Marino Ballena National Park to the beach, where you’ll board our brand-new 24-seat tour boat. The tour takes you 15 miles offshore to prime whale and dolphin-watching areas, offering stunning views of Isla Ballena and the Three Sisters, a protected bird sanctuary. Even between whale seasons, this tour is a thrilling experience, with dolphin encounters, seabird watching, and a refreshing swim or snorkel. From October to June, snorkel in the clear waters near Isla Ballena or the Whale’s Tail. During the rainy season (July to Sept), when visibility is lower, enjoy a rejuvenating swim in the warm Pacific. No matter the season, this tour is an unforgettable adventure!
