The whales come to the shores of the Golfo Nuevo and San José by the calm waters. They will transit some of the most important stages of their lives: copulate, give birth and raise their calves. Gestation time is approximately 11/12 months. Our tour begins along the coast, guided by our bilingual personnel, who will talk about the unique ecosystems by the coast and the sea.
