Things to Do in Uvita: Explore the Hidden Gems of this Tropical Paradise

  1. Whale Watching: One of the best activities to do in Uvita is undoubtedly whale watching. Uvita is known as one of the prime spots in the world to witness the majestic humpback whales in their natural habitat. From July to October and December to April, these gentle giants migrate to the warm waters of the Marino Ballena National Park, providing an awe-inspiring display of their acrobatic skills. Also outside the “high season” there is a chance to spot these giants! Book your tour with whale watching Uvita and get ready for an unforgettable encounter with these magnificent creatures.
  2. Explore Marino Ballena National Park: Besides whale watching, the Marino Ballena National Park offers a host of other activities for visitors to enjoy. Immerse yourself in the pristine beauty of its beaches, such as Playa Uvita and Playa Ventanas, where you can relax, swim, or simply soak up the sun. Don’t forget to take a stroll along the iconic Whale Tail, a natural sandbar formation that resembles the tail of a whale during low tide.
  3. Visit the Enchanting Nauyaca Waterfalls: Embark on an exhilarating hike through the lush rainforest of Uvita to reach the stunning Nauyaca Waterfalls. This two-tiered waterfall cascades into crystal-clear pools, offering a refreshing oasis for a swim. Take a dip in the turquoise waters, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, and let the tranquility wash over you.
  4. Discover the Marino Ballena Cave: For the adventurous souls, exploring the Marino Ballena Cave is a must-do activity. This hidden gem is accessible only by kayak or paddleboard, adding an extra thrill to your journey. Paddle through the calm waters, venture into the cave, and marvel at the mesmerizing rock formations illuminated by sunlight streaming through small openings. It’s an experience that will leave you in awe of Mother Nature’s artistry.
