This is an all-inclusive private coastal tour — airport transfers, a private air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking chauffeur guide, accommodation with daily breakfast, entrance tickets to all listed attractions, all mentioned activity costs, the shared-boat whale watching, daily water, and government taxes. Watersports, snorkelling, surf lessons, and the baby turtle release are optional extras.
The whale-watching excursion is included as a shared-boat experience (a private boat can be arranged as an upgrade). Sightings of blue whales and dolphins are common in season — roughly November to April — but as with all wildlife, they can’t be guaranteed.
The southern coast is at its best from roughly November to April, with calm seas ideal for beach days and whale watching. Outside this window the ocean can be rougher and whale trips may not run.
It’s ideal for couples, honeymooners, and beach lovers wanting a relaxed, slower-paced tropical getaway with a mix of marine wildlife, light adventure, and downtime by the sea.
