Overview

Embark on an unforgettable 6–8 hour Corcovado Land and Ocean Tour, departing from Uvita’s famous Whale’s Tail in Bahía Ballena. Enjoy a scenic boat ride along the Pacific coast, where you may spot dolphins, turtles, or whales, depending on the season. Upon arrival, our expert guides lead a 1.5–3 hour jungle hike to spot monkeys, scarlet macaws, tapirs, and more. After the hike, enjoy lunch before the scenic return along the Costa Ballena coastline.

Corcovado Access Update:
Due to conservation rules, park permits have strict daily limits and may sell out. Passport details are required in advance or reservations cannot be made—no exceptions. If the park is full, the tour will visit Campanario Biological Station, a private reserve less than two miles away with the same rainforest, wildlife, and guided hike. By booking, you accept this change without refund.
