About this tour

The El Doradillo area, located in a privileged corner of the coast, is a must-see destination for lovers of nature and marine life. 

Every season, a group of majestic mother whales and their calves approach this region due to the calm waters and the unusual depth of the coast, which slopes abruptly towards the ocean. This geographical feature allows whales to come as close as 20 to 30 meters from the beach, offering an exceptional opportunity for spotting from the shore.

To explore this natural wonder, we will pick you up at your hotel in 4x4 vehicles, starting this adventure that will give you a unique perspective of the local geography, having access to different beaches. 

On the tour, we will have time to take a short walk along the quarry beaches, which offers an unforgettable experience to closely observe these imposing cetaceans in their natural habitat. The proximity of the whales and the beauty of the landscape make this experience a perfect complement for those who wish to experience the magic of sea watching without embarking.

We will take advantage of this precious moment and landscape to enjoy a snack consisting of croissants and some infusion.

Once the tour is over, we will take you back to your hotel located in the city center.
