Discover Uvita’s coastline from a unique perspective on a guided Sea Kayaking Tour in Marino Ballena National Park. Timed around low tide, this active adventure combines ocean kayaking, snorkeling, the iconic Whale’s Tail, and exploration of a nearby mangrove ecosystem.
Kayak to the Reef
The excursion begins approximately one hour before low tide, allowing us to paddle through the waves toward the reef. Your experienced bilingual guide provides safety instructions and selects the most suitable route for the day’s ocean conditions.
Snorkeling and the Whale’s Tail
Upon reaching the reef, enjoy a guided snorkeling experience among colorful fish and other marine species. After snorkeling, we paddle to the famous Whale’s Tail formation for a relaxing break with fresh fruit.
Kayak Surf and Mangrove
The return includes an exciting kayak surf toward the beach, followed by a visit to a local mangrove to observe birds, mammals, and native plants. Depending on conditions and group preference, this section may be completed by kayak or as a guided walk.
