Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Experience the sighting of Humpback Whales on a private tour from Punta Mita, one of the most exciting experiences in the Mexican Pacific during your season. You will sail in search of these marine giants in their natural habitat, in a safe, respectful and well organized route.

During the tour you can watch whales very closely from the boat. Sometimes it is possible to appreciate surface behaviors such as blowing, flicking or jumping; however, these activities depend entirely on the animal’s natural behavior and cannot be guaranteed, as it is wildlife in freedom.

The experience takes place on board a private boat for your group, departing from Punta Mita, and is suitable for all ages.
The sighting season usually runs from December 8 or 9 to March 23 or 24.
