Very well organised trip! - We did this trip with Marce as our guide. It was a long day and amazingly organised by Marce and also Armondo our driver.
We had a nice stop for breakfast and lunch of tradional food. Both in very nice environments. Going to see the whales we went really far out into the sea, the caption of the small boat we sailed in was clearly very good as we were very lucky, because we were able to see 3 different family pods of whales including some babies!!
Overall I would recommend this tour as we were well looked after, were safe, and well catered for. Marce was also very engaging and brilliant through out!

Whales and more - This was a really great day trip with the lovely energetic Marcella as our guide and Armando as our driver. We saw so many whales! It was an incredible experience and we were so close to them. We also walked to a beautiful beach and swam in the very warm sea at another beach. Breakfast and lunch were delicious. Everything was very well organised. Marcella is obviously very experienced and passionate about this tour and worked hard to make this such a fun day

Great experience! - The experience was amazing. Marce, our tour guide, was really great and accommodating which made the experience better. We were able to see the whales the whole time we were out at sea and they came right up to the boat and the lunch after was one of the best I’ve had in Colombia.

Whale watching - We (3 persons) booked the tour in September 2023 and it was a absolute blessing. Everything was perfectly organised, from the pick up, over breakfast and lunch, to the whale watching, snacks and the tour home. We always felt completely safe, guided and taken care off. I can recommend it for everyone.

100% recommendation, we enjoyed the tour - We had an amazing trip with our guide Marcela.
We were a small group of 6 people, so the tour was very personal. We were a long time with the whales, it was really amazing to see them. In general it was a great day and Marcela did everything that we felt good. 100% recommendation!

Brilliant, highly recommend! - I absolutely loved this tour, it was so worth it! Marcela was our guide and she was the best guide you could have, very knowledgeable and understanding. We were really lucky that we got to see 2 male whales fighting for a female, which is a very rare sight. August is the best season to go!

Ok but could be longer and better - It’s ok but we were not informed correctly about the activity. You rarely see a jump close to the boat. You see some whales but the time is restricted to max 30min, but the boat in our case stayed longer (2 hours) that time is not enough to find them and see them, I think it should be given two chances at tho different times. Our boat was 2 hours late by the way (to pick it us). In the area are many whales to watch and many boats with groups. Our tour was not private. The boarding areas are not the best parts of Colombia. I would say they could be the worst I have seen so far. Buenaventura in particular. Consider two days anyway or a different plan
