This whale watching tour offers a truly immersive experience by combining expert guidance with unique onboard features. Travelers are accompanied by a marine biologist who shares in-depth knowledge about humpback whale behavior, migration, and conservation, making the experience both educational and unforgettable.

A key highlight is the onboard hydrophone, which allows guests to listen to live whale songs underwater—a rare feature not included in most whale watching tours. The tour is conducted in a respectful, family-friendly environment, with plenty of time for observation and photography, plus the comfort of a well-equipped boat and included food and drinks.

This combination of education, comfort, and rare wildlife interaction makes it one of the most complete whale watching experiences in Puerto Vallarta.

What to expect

Begin your tour at the Puerto Vallarta Maritime Terminal and board a comfortable boat guided by bilingual experts and a marine biologist. Cruise through Banderas Bay in search of humpback whales while learning about their behavior, migration, and family groups.

Once whales are spotted, the boat will slow down so you can safely observe and photograph breaches, tail slaps, and other natural behaviors. With the onboard hydrophone, you’ll even be able to listen to real whale songs underwater, a unique experience few tours offer.

Depending on your schedule, enjoy a continental breakfast or lunch, along with snacks and soft drinks. On the return ride, relax on deck and keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles, or manta rays.
