This tour is conditioned to good weather and not wavy ocean. Our van will pick you up at 7:30a.m right at the Pier, and you will be taken to the beautiful Manzanillo Town, the last settlement on the coastal Caribbean road (60 minutes from the pier). Here you will board a motor boat of our local tour operator who will be your tour guide. The adventure starts navigating along a pristine rocky sea shore with impressive cliffs and erosion blow holes covered on top by the evergreen tropical rain forest.
About a half hour later, you will get to Punta Mona, the southern most point of Costa Rica on the Caribbean Sea and from here, the Captain will keep going slowly searching for the dolphins. Although we can not assure you will see them, the trip is worthwhile just for the magnificent scenery.
Most of the time you will see schools of bottle nose dolphins and they can be very playful splashing the water with their finns, jumping and diving or also you can see the Atlantic spotted dolphins and even the rare Tucuxi that was recently identified in these waters very close to the Sixaola River, border with Panama. You will be on the water a little over two hours and besides this, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the rich marine life snorkeling from the beach at Punta Uva.. |
