All Things Uvita & Dominical

Whale tails, mellow surf towns, and the jungle waterfall with a natural rock slide. The South Pacific at its most laid-back.

Good to know

  • The whale-tail sandbar at Marino Ballena only appears around low tide — check the tide chart before you go.
  • Uvita is spread out along the highway; Dominical is the walkable surf town 15 minutes north. Most visitors split time between both.
  • Humpback season brings the boats — book whale tours a day ahead in August–October.
