In the morning we will sail away from the beach of Marino Ballena National Park to start our adventure. During this exciting tour and across the coast of the park, we will have the opportunity to observe (from January to March and July to October) the humpback whales , false killer whales, and if we are lucky even orcas!, at least 4 different species of dolphins (common Bottlenose dolphin, Spinner dolphins, Spotted dolphins, and Pacific White-sided dolphins), turtles and much more, all in their natural habitat. You will also go through the park and visit Isla Ballena where we will snorkel on different coral reefs to spot tamboril, humpback parrotfish, butterfly fish, drumlins, lobsters, starfish, turtles and even white-tip sharks. We will also observe from the boat the coast of Piñuela, Tortuga, Arco and Ventanas beach, this last one known world wide for its impressive cavern formations that lead towards the ocean, and other islands such as Tres Hermanas, a place to observe seabirds.
During the tour you will receive plenty of fresh seasonal fruits as snack, and of course tons of water.
