Expectations
Guests will arrive at our property for check-in and then walk to the main entrance of Parque Nacional Marina Ballena. From the park entrance, there is a short hike of approximately 15 minutes to the beach, where guests will board the tour boat from the beach.
The tour boats will travel approximately 15 miles out to sea, arriving at Bahia Ballenas, which is nestled between Playa Ballenas and Isla Ballenas. This is the best place to observe whales and dolphins. Then, depending on time and conditions, your guide will take you to swim and snorkel near Cano Island or to visit the Whale’s Tail natural landmark.
