Whale watching in Uvita, CR - The boat trip was wonderful. The tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Despite it being the off season for whales we saw three!

Knowledgeable guides, great value - Excellent service and guides who were incredibly knowledgeable. They pointed out many birds and natural landmarks. Safety and comfort were clearly prioritized. We saw 3 whales even though it was the end of whale season. Because of the time spent with the whales we did not get to see dolphins. We did however get delicious fruits to eat and time to swim in the ocean at a beautiful beach. In addition, we got to explore some caves and see a small waterfall. This company was flexible with the booking as we choose to reschedule due to heavy rains. I recommend touring with this company.

Fantastic boat trip - Because the whale season is from April to October it was a gamble whether we would see a whale. Unfortunately no whale seen, but everything was compensated with the beautiful nature. During a stop at Arco beach you will actually feel like you are on the island of JurassicPark. In a word "Paradise" The staff and guide were super friendly and had delicious fruit and drinks with them for guests.

Baby whale action! - Fantastic tour! Saw a mom and baby whale for about 20 minutes and lots of cute jumping action. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. This tour was also Martin tours which is not the name advertised so maybe message before arriving to the meeting spot to clarify. 10/10 would do again!

Amazing experience!! DO NOT HESITATE - We took this excursion in Uvita to watch whales. Evaristo taught us not only the whales but also has a very extensive knowledge of the rest of the fauna, we saw a raccoon, several types of birds, a sloth and explained the whole landscape and fauna, as well as recommendations of where to eat. The beach finiquito arch paradise the icing on the cake! Very good experience and 100% recommended. Pure life!!!
