During the excursion, you will have the opportunity to observe iconic seabirds, enjoy a guided hike across the island, and go snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. In season, you may also witness the impressive sight of humpback whales during the whale-watching period.

    It was a beautiful and relaxing family trip, the snorkering and the views and the hike to the silver island and the view of the whales was something magical I recommend, a unique experience

    Humpback whale watching in Manabí is an impressive experience that attracts thousands of tourists each year. These majestic creatures migrate from Antarctica to the warm waters of Manabí to reproduce and raise their young.
