About
From January to late March, numerous humpback whales migrate to the waters surrounding Rincón for breeding purposes. The male whales create loud songs and breach the water's surface to captivate the females' attention. Meanwhile, the mother humpback whales engage in playtime with their calves. We provide you with a mask and snorkel so that you can immerse yourself in the water and listen to their songs firsthand. Our experienced crew is well-trained to ensure your safety and to maintain an appropriate distance from these awe-inspiring creatures.
