The Humpback whale and Bryde´s whale are most common in the area. These huge mammals can reach up to 15 meters (50 ft) long; the females are somewhat bigger than the males. Despite their enormous size, they are able to jump out of the water providing a spectacular show for the ones lucky enough to be there at the right time. Another great experience – which is more likely to witness during the tour – is watching the offspring swim and play besides the huge mother whale.

All whale tours in Uvita visit the waters of the marine park Marino Ballena. This extraordinary national park provides more tourist attractions than just whales, which makes the tour also worthwhile when going offseason. Quite often these tours run into schools of Dolphins since several types of Dolphins are common in the park. Other fish and turtles can be spotted while snorkeling over the biggest coral reefs of Central America. And the tour also passes by beautiful beaches as Playa Piñuelas and the spectacular caves of Playa Cinco Ventanas.
