With jungle-covered mountains on one side and inviting Pacific waves on the other, Uvita makes adventure easy. It’s the kind of town where you’ll hike to a waterfall in the morning, see breaching whales in the afternoon, and take a sunset horseback ride on the beach to end your day. So if you’re looking for the ideal combination of adventure, nature, and some relaxation — tours in Uvita will be just what you want.
This quaint little town will cater to the desires of traveling couples, but don’t worry families or solo travelers! Everything from water activities to hiking activities is available in this calm town on Costa Rica’s South Pacific coast — and with our local experts, you’ll experience everything safely, enjoyably, and without the headaches of tourist traps.
Few experiences compare to seeing a humpback whale breach just feet from your boat. Uvita is one of the only places in the world to see humpback whales almost year-round. The reason for the pairing is the migratory patterns of the hemispheres, so when booking a tour, you’re bound to see them. Take a trip right from town into Marino Ballena National Park, and wherever you go, the spots may have dolphins, sea turtles, and pelicans. It’s not everyday sightseeing; it’s an experience of a lifetime.
Uvita has waterfalls — beautiful waterfalls, but these are waterfalls you can do stuff at. Book a tour to slide down natural waterslides, bathe in natural jungle pools, or hike to the top for views above Mother Nature’s greatness. Uvita Waterfall and Nauyaca Waterfalls are local favorite tourist hot spots, and all you need to bring is a bathing suit, a camera, and your sense of adventure.
For the earth-bound explorer who enjoys getting underneath the action, Uvita’s underwater realm is a perfect setting to make a splash. Our snorkeling tours take you to locations like Caño Island, where warm, temperate waters and vibrant coral reefs are filled with tropical fish, sea turtles, rays, reef sharks and more. For those with an open-water certification, scuba diving in Uvita allows you to explore the depths; or join our night dives with bioluminescent plankton, and you’ll feel like you’ve entered another universe.
For those who prefer staying above the waves and dirt, consider our horseback riding tours, a popular choice among locals, accessible to novice riders and families alike. For adults seeking a more thrilling ride, sample our ATV tours with backroad driving, river crossings, plenty of mud, and mountainous lookouts where you’ll want to get dirty and have fun while doing it!
