Fun time on the coast and seeing humpback whales - I really enjoyed this trip. Cali was our guide and she was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a hiccup (flat tire) during transport but it was taken care of quickly and professionally and we still had a great day out. I really liked how they were able to adapt to changing situations and make sure we had a great time. We saw several humpback and spent a good amount of time out with them. Spending some time in Buenaventura was also great to get an idea of lives of the people who live on the coast. She also arranged a photo drop so that we could share our best photos from the trip among the groups. Great adventure!

Whale Watching July 2024 - We had an amazing time whale watching yesterday. We were lucky and got to see a whale jumping out of the water many times. Everything was well organised and Karina was a great guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

Well organised and worthwhile activity for the whole family - We had a great trip! The organisation was very good and punctual. We were taken care of really well during the trip. Food was good. Preparation material was clear and communicated in a timely fashion. The trip was amazing, it gave stunning views of Buenaventura, Juanchoco and the whale watching was unforgettable. We and our boys (age 5y and 7y) had an amazing time. Afterwards, a dip in the pacific, which was a nice ending of the day.

Unique experience - I went on this tour with a friend. It was very well organized, we were picked up on time, the driver was very nice and conscientious. Our guide Marcela did a fantastic job! She looked after us all well at all times and made sure that everyone felt comfortable. She also gave us a lot of information about the whales in the region. We were lucky enough to see a lot of whales and stay on the water for a long time. What bothered us a little was the long stay on Juanchaco, which meant that we arrived in Cali very late. Otherwise everything was great and we can only recommend the trip.

Very well organised trip! - We did this trip with Marce as our guide. It was a long day and amazingly organised by Marce and also Armondo our driver. We had a nice stop for breakfast and lunch of tradional food. Both in very nice environments. Going to see the whales we went really far out into the sea, the caption of the small boat we sailed in was clearly very good as we were very lucky, because we were able to see 3 different family pods of whales including some babies!! Overall I would recommend this tour as we were well looked after, were safe, and well catered for. Marce was also very engaging and brilliant through out!

Whales and more - This was a really great day trip with the lovely energetic Marcella as our guide and Armando as our driver. We saw so many whales! It was an incredible experience and we were so close to them. We also walked to a beautiful beach and swam in the very warm sea at another beach. Breakfast and lunch were delicious. Everything was very well organised. Marcella is obviously very experienced and passionate about this tour and worked hard to make this such a fun day

Ok but could be longer and better - It’s ok but we were not informed correctly about the activity. You rarely see a jump close to the boat. You see some whales but the time is restricted to max 30min, but the boat in our case stayed longer (2 hours) that time is not enough to find them and see them, I think it should be given two chances at tho different times. Our boat was 2 hours late by the way (to pick it us). In the area are many whales to watch and many boats with groups. Our tour was not private. The boarding areas are not the best parts of Colombia. I would say they could be the worst I have seen so far. Buenaventura in particular. Consider two days anyway or a different plan
