Description
Our tour begins at the Curú Wildlife Refuge, a place where you can observe a large number of wild animals before departure time or after the tour. We are local people who know the coast and the behavior of cetaceans and marine animals very well, which allows us to provide a quality service without affecting the marine life of the place, with more than twenty years of experience. We carried out the sightings in the Paquera Responsible Fishing Marine Area, a place that Humpback whales visit to have their calves and take care of them for 2 or 3 months.
