WHALE WATCHING TOURS

Puerto Vallarta is home to one of the world's great creatures - the humpback whale. From Mid-December through March, 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 March through December, you can still see wild dolphins with our Wild Dolphins Adventure Tour - it's an excellent trip.

PUERTO VALLARTA WHALE WATCHING FAQ's

Q: WHEN IS WHALE WATCHING SEASON IN PUERTO VALLARTA?
A:
Official whale watching season is December 8th through March. 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.  The rest of the year, you can enjoy our Wild Dolphins & Snorkeling Tour, though - very fun.

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.
