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, you 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 include responsible whale-watching opportunities when humpback whales are spotted. This tour is operated by Nuquí residents under sustainable practices, directly supporting the local community and conservation. Safety is a priority, with travel insurance, trained crew, and eco-friendly measures included.
