The Bahia Aventuras Combo Tour combines elements of some of the most popular tours - whale/dolphin watching and snorkeling - into one rip-roaring, exciting day of adventure.

Departing from Punta Uvita Beach, which lies along Costa Rica's gorgeous southern Pacific coast, this tour takes trippers deep into the Marino Ballena National Park. En route, stops are made at the famous Whale Tail Point, Ballena Island, Tres Hermanas Islets, and the Ventana Sea Caves.

The tour allows trippers to search for humpback and pilot whales, as well as three different species of dolphins. Imagine the excitement of watching a 40-ton whale slap its massive tail along the water, or the amazement at seeing sea turtles and dolphins swim alongside you while snorkeling. Visits to the coral and rock reefs allow tour members to explore the vibrant marine life of the Marino Ballena National Park, which - boasting more than 18 different species of coral reef - forms the largest coral reef on the Pacific side of Central America. Birders will likewise be pleased, as an astounding amount of avian diversity can be observed during the visits to the Tres Hermanas Islets and the Ventana Sea Caves. If the conditions are good, the boat's captain may even navigate through the caves' natural caverns.

The tour lasts 3-4 hours.
