Whale Watching Tour
Humpback Whales in Costa Rica

Whale watching season in Costa Rica runs from July to November. This is the best time to encounter these magnificent whales in their natural habitat. Whales have their own habits, but they can change their schedule if something doesn’t suit them. Therefore, when planning to go on whale tour, it is advisable to choose an experienced captain who can predict their behavior. Objectively speaking, the best place to see whales is around Uvita, on the Pacific coast. This is the area that these animals have taken a liking to, and here you have the best chance of encountering whales with their young. Our whale watching tours are a great way to spend a fun day on the ocean

Whale Watching Tour from Uvita

The best place for himpback whales in Costa Rica is Uvita. This is where the great humpbacks migrate to give birth to their young and teach them everything. Of course, this doesn’t happen year-round, which is why it’s a good idea to come to Costa Rica during migration season to see live whales.

Photos from Whale Watching Tour

Costa Rica is known around the world for its incredible natural heritage and the many animals that can be seen in the wild. We have compiled some of the most frequently asked questions about whale watching in Costa Rica.

Where can I see whales in Costa Rica?

The most popular whale spot in Costa Rica is the Osa Peninsula, where the world’s longest humpback whale watching season is underway. At the same time, many other marine animals such as dolphins and killer whales can be seen here.

What is the best time for whale watching in Uvita?

Whale season at Uvita occurs in two seasons: mid-July to mid-November and mid-December to April. These seasons are based on the annual migration cycle of humpback whales, which travel from Antarctica and Alaska to Costa Rica each year.

Is a whale watching tour in Uvita worth it?

Humpback whales are large animals, reaching up to 15 meters in length. Despite their size, they are so strong that they easily jump out of the water, providing a spectacular show for those lucky enough to be there at the right time.

Another great experience that can happen during the tour is watching the offspring swim and play together with the mother whale. All whale watching tours in Uvita start at the Marino Ballena Marine Park. There are more than just whales to see at this national park, so it’s a good idea to go there during the off-season.

Can I swim with whales on the tour?

Although these magnificent animals are much larger than humans and it would be difficult for us to harm them, for their comfort we cannot be in the water when they are around. Therefore, swimming, snorkeling or diving with whales is prohibited and we cannot do it. However, we guarantee that watching and feeling their proximity will make a great impression on everyone.
