You can book a tour with a reliable agency in the town of Monta\u00f1ita itself. The island can also be toured on foot, but only in the company of qualified guides.\r\n\r\n<strong>IMPORTANT:<\/strong> There are no shops or restaurants on the island, so take plenty of water and snacks.

If you travel to town around this time of year then we recommend you make your way to see the whales as they pass with a reliable sightseeing tour.\r\n\r\nGenerally, whale tours last an hour and a half. It only takes 15 minutes until you can see the whales passing. The guides say that the whales are happier and more likely to jump from the water on sunny days. \r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row mb-2\">\r\n<div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-12\"><img class=\"img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/bushop.com\/ecuador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/10\/whales-montanita-ecuador.jpg\" alt=\"hunchback whales - monta\u00f1ita ecuador\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-12\"><img class=\"img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/bushop.com\/ecuador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/10\/whales-montanita-ecuador-2.jpg\" alt=\"hunchback whales - monta\u00f1ita ecuador\" \/><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"text_bold_yellow_2\">AGUA BLANCA<\/h4>\r\nInside the National Park Machalilla, you\u2019ll find a community that keeps alive the archeological museum that holds crucial pieces of the Mante\u00f1o culture.
