Description

Whale Watching from Cali

The tour meets at Hotel Intercontinental Cali at 4:30 am. From there we'll climb aboard a bus to hit the road to Colombia's main port, Buenaventura. Following a journey of two and a half hours, we arrive at our destination and enjoy a delicious breakfast.

Then we'll climb aboard a boat, sailing the waters of the Pacific over the course of an hour, keeping our eyes peeled for the humpback whales commonly spotted in the area - where they live for three months of the year.

Then the tour sets sail to Playa Juanchaco. Having arrived, we'll climb aboard a boat to once again coexist with these majestic marine mammals - and where it's also possible to see turtles, dolphins and pelicans.

After an unforgettable morning among these giants of the sea, we'll have lunch and then have the afternoon free to soak up the sun on the beach. Then, we'll return to Hotel Intercontinental Cali, arriving at 10 pm.

We had a great time. It was a long journey but the stop for breakfast and the boat ride made it feel part of the trip. We saw so many whales! It was incredible. Lunch was great, for me as a vegetarian too. And our guide Marcella was lovely and spoke excellent English

The tour was great, I can really recommend it! The guide and the driver were both super nice and we learned alot not only about whales but also about the region, the culture and Colombia in general. The guide was open to all questions, helped and recommend wherever he could. And seeing the wales was amazing! Even just the ride with the boat was so much fun and the animals are just super fascinating to see from so close on the boat. Thanks for everything Gabriel and Alex :)

I had a beautiful day whatching whales. We saw a whole family with a little one and even some whales jumping out of the water. Everything was well organized and went smoothly. Our guide, driver and whale watching guides were all nice and did a wonderful job. Only the afternoon at Juanchaco waiting for the boat back was a little long. Maybe it's possible to squeeze in some other activity (for example some local fruit tasting....) or even another round of whale watching?
