The humpback whale is the main attraction during the whale watching season in Uvita. These gentle giants migrate from the cold waters of the North and South Poleswhale-watching to the warm waters of the tropics to mate, give birth, and raise their young.

The tours typically last around 3 to 4 hours and depart early in the morning. The tour guides are knowledgeable about the area and provide information about the humpback whales and their behavior.

When embarking on your whale-watching tour, you’ll be taken on a boat ride out into the Pacific Ocean. The boat ride can be bumpy, so be sure to take motion sickness medication if you’re prone to sea sickness. Once you’re out in the open water, the tour guides will start to look for signs of whale activity, such as spouts or breaches. When a whale is spotted, the boat will approach the area slowly and carefully, so as not to disturb the whale’s natural behavior.

It’s important to note that humpback whales are wild animals, and sightings are not guaranteed. However, even if you don’t see any whales, the boat ride itself is a beautiful and exciting experience. The tour guides will also point out other marine life, such as dolphins, sea turtles, and various species of fish.

If you’re lucky enough to witness a humpback whale breach or slap its tail on the surface of the water, it’s an experience you’ll never forget. These majestic creatures can grow up to 52 feet long and weigh up to 79,000 pounds. The sound of their song can be heard underwater from miles away.
