Review of Cali’s 18-hour Bahía Málaga whale tour, with boat travel, Pacific beaches, meals, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Unfortunately, the trip is not worth 500 euros by a long shot. Maybe 500.000 COP. The boat trip is done with normal means of transport like all other tourists. We saw many whales, but the trip is not suitable for professional photography. The guide and driver were nice people. It is better to book the trip in the country itself. Unfortunately, it is a complete rip-off.”
