Spend the day at Marino Ballena National Park and get a taste of the many different ecosystems in the park. We launch out through small waves into the Bay of Punta Uvita. After an ocean paddle (about 40 minutes paddling) out to the reef at the Whale’s Tail, we snorkel there (about 45 minutes-1 hour). Our guide will lead you along the rock reef, showing you some great underwater sea life. After the snorkel session, we paddle over to the Whale's Tail to take a break and see the glorious views. It is a rock and sand formation that occurs during the low tide only. We then paddle back to the beach (about 20 minutes) and ride the waves back to shore with our kayaks. Once on the beach, we take a beautiful, short walk into a gorgeous mangrove forest to learn all about this incredible ecosystem. Your park entrance can be used for the remainder of the day!
