What to expect

You'll always remember the moment you spot your first whale as it breaches the water, giving you that iconic photo as its tail goes straight up into the air as it dives. And humpback whales are the star attraction on this boat trip around Marino Ballena National Park. You stand a pretty good chance of seeing them in their natural habitat, along with turtles, rays, and maybe even some dolphin. Depending on the season, you'll snorkel or swim in the Pacific Ocean around a popular beachy outcrop called the Whale Tail.
