Description
Begin your adventure at 9:00 a.m. from Nuquí’s harbor aboard a safe, comfortable boat operated by certified local captains. Depending on sea conditions and availability, the route may head north or south, but both options take you to pristine beaches, hidden waterfalls, and natural hot springs.
If heading south, visit places like Guachalito, with its long untouched beach; Terco and Terquito Beaches, perfect for photography; the romantic Waterfall of Love tucked deep in the forest; and natural hot springs, where warm mineral waters flow directly from the earth.
If the route goes north, discover Utría National Natural Park, a biodiversity sanctuary known for its calm, jungle-framed waters; the stunning Playa Blanca, famous for its white sands and tropical scenery; the impressive Morromico Waterfall, plunging straight into the ocean; and the Jurubidá hot springs, an ideal spot to relax in nature.
On either route, have opportunities to hike through rainforest trails, swim in waterfalls, and connect with coastal communities that preserve Afro-Pacific and Embera Indigenous traditions.
At midday, pause for a typical local lunch at a seaside restaurant, featuring the authentic flavors of the Pacific: fresh fish, coconut rice, plantains, and tropical fruit juices.
Between July and October, the journey may also surprise you with encounters with humpback whales, which migrate thousands of kilometers from Antarctica to give birth in these warm Pacific waters. If spotted, it’s possible to add a responsible whale-watching activity, guided by locals.
This tour is fully operated by Nuquí residents under sustainable practices, ensuring your visit directly supports the community and helps conserve this fragile ecosystem. Safety is a priority, with travel insurance, trained crew, and eco-friendly measures included.
