WHALE WATCHING TOURS
|
Puerto Vallarta
is home to one of the world's great creatures - the humpback whale.
From Mid-December through early April, these waters are filled
with magic, as the humpbacks come here to calve. You may
see baby humpbacks - a glorious sight. You almost can't go on
a boat ride during these months without seeing the whales breaching
(jumping) near your boat. While you don't always need to look
for them, these tours specialize in finding and getting close
to the whales. From April through December, you can still see
wild dolphins with our Wild Dolphins Adventure Tour - it's an
excellent trip.

Our Advice:
With small kids, or for better visibility in rough water, pick
the Large Boat. To get closer to the whales, you'll want the zodiac. Our
Humpback Whales are amazing.

PUERTO VALLARTA WHALE WATCHING FAQ's
Q:
WHEN IS WHALE WATCHING SEASON
IN PUERTO VALLARTA?
A:
Official whale watching season is December 15 through March 31st.
In the few weeks on either side, however, you can
still see whales in the bay on one of our Bay
Cruises. You just aren't allowed to get as close or to stay as long to
watch.
Q:
DO I HAVE TO BOOK A WHALE WATCHING
TOUR TO SEE WHALES?
A:
No, on any of our great boat trips during high
whale season it is likely that you may see whales. These tours,
however, go specifically out to look for whales, and are specially
certified to get within 100 feet of the whales, while the other tours
primarily happen to see whales along their way to a destination.
Q:
ARE YOUR BOATS LICENSED FOR WHALE WATCHING?
A:
Yes, all our boats are fully licensed for whale
watching by the Mexican Government. We follow all whale watching
rules of conduct, and follow the guidelines set forth for responsible
whale watching. We care deeply about the safety and protection of
Puerto Vallarta's amazing humpback whales and dolphins.
