This is THE whales tour you want ! - This trip was super well organised, from the meeting point in front of the office to the end of the boat tour. This tour came recommended to me but i checked around before booking and found that their price was super competitive. The guide on the boat gave us really interesting facts about the whales during the whole trip while at the same time letting us enjoy the visual beauty developing in front of us. We saw multiples mom and baby duos playing around. we enjoyed super fresh fruit snack and even swam for a little one n the middle of the ocean It was a super cool experience. Also social thanks to the staff of Ballena Tour for accommodating us after we had an unexpected issue coming up. I personally enjoyed the trip so much i went back the next day for another extraordinary adventure.

- Our family had a great time seeing mama whales and babies and jumping in the ocean for a swim. The tour guide Erika, and crew did a great job taking care of everyone. The restaurant recommendation for Las Esferas was an added bonus. Very helpful.

Well worth it - Marilena was our tour guide and was great! She is fluent in both spanish and english and the tour was so fun. Launching the boat from the beach, riding through the ocean, and seeing the dolphins, whales, and other wildlife was well worth it

Extraordinary experience with an excellent guide/host - Extraordinary experience with an excellent guide/host, we were off timing with the other tours and that gave us the edge to experience the wales exclusively. It made it possible to hear the wales sing and playfully chase them. The wales picked up on the good vibes that was on the boat thanks to our experienced guide/host. An extraordinary experience that i would recommend to all animal lovers
