Our story in nature-based tourism

About us

Find out how Bahia Ballena went from a sleepy fishing community to a bustling nature tour hotspot.

Bahia Aventuras is a Costa Rica Tour Operator located in Bahia Ballena, Osa Peninsula, that has been offering various marine tours since 2007. Bahia Aventuras was founded by Walter Brenes and Daljit Hundle who shared a passion for education and conservation. Since 2007, the Bahia Aventuras Team has expanded and continues to spread this vision to offer the most fun, friendly and safe service in the Uvita area.

Did an “inshore” fishing excursion with Ramon and crew. Wonderful experience. We ended up quite a ways offshore. Caught a couple of mackerel and a couple of Mahi Mahi.

We went on the whale and dolphin tour. Risto was an excellent tour guide, he had loads of knowledge and made sure everyone was happy and comfortable. Bahia Adventures is a proper outfit with excellent facilities, we would highly recommend booking with them.

Bahia Aventuras took my family of 5 snorkeling at Cano Island and then, two days later, we went with them to Corcovado. Both trips were excellent! The guides are friendly and fun and so knowledgeable, and the lunch they provide is delicious! We saw so much amazing marine life on our snorkeling trip that we never would have been able to spot by ourselves. We also really enjoyed Corcovado and saw animals we had never even heard of.
