The 2 Best Whale Watching Trips in Colombia

1.Bahía Málaga: Humpback Whale Watching in Cali – Colombia

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 50 reviews · 18 hours (approx.) · from $459Our pick

Leave Cali at 4:30 am for Buenaventura and Uramba Bahía Málaga National Natural Park. A bilingual guide and native whale-watching guide lead the boat trip, with seafood, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and roundtrip transport included. Expect a long day, wet conditions, and a maximum group of 15.

“Unfortunately, the trip is not worth 500 euros by a long shot. Maybe 500.000 COP. The boat trip is done with normal means of transport like all other tourists. We saw many whales, but the trip is not suitable for professional photography. The guide and driver were nice people. It is better to book the trip in the country itself. Unfortunately, it is a complete rip-off.”

2.Whale Watching Day Trip in Buenaventura

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3 reviews · 16 hours · from $500

Leave Cali at 5:30 AM for Buenaventura, then ride a speedboat to Juanchaco and nearby whale grounds. A bilingual guide such as Juanko or Juanca helps with the day, from breakfast and boat safety to a Pacific lunch and local Viche. Expect a 16-hour trip, a 30-minute whale watch, and a wet, active day.

“This activity was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Juanko was personable, knowledgeable, and informative. He added a unique, personal touch, and I really enjoyed getting to know the culture, history, people, and landscape, as well as watching whales. I highly recommend this activity!”
