What to expect

Whale watching is one of the most impressive activities in nature you can participate in. During winter we combine the whale watching with dolphin watching, so on this tour you have the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable encounter with humpback whales that are the most spectacular, these friendly giants arrive to Puerto Vallarta to mate and give birth, during the winter months. We can also enjoy different species of dolphins such as bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins, spinner dolphins, rough toothed dolphins and with luck we can find Orcas or False Orcas. We can also see giant mantas and marine turtles.
Our guides are specialists in cetaceans, Biologists with Masters Degree in Marine Ecology, Science Journalist and Professional Wildlife Photographer (National Geographic magazine and Animal Planet). We have some research programs with whales and dolphins, and during the tour we will share with you this information and you will have the opportunity to participate on our research. Your participation on our tour it’s what makes our research possible, and our research and experience helps us to GUARANTEE 100% that we can find the animals if not your money back.
