 WHALE WATCHING IN

    Puerto Vallarta   ​

Expert-led encounters with humpback whales in Banderas Bay.

SINCE 1996

Whale Watchers Vallarta has been creating meaningful humpback whale encounters in Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay since 1996. Our expert marine guides are committed to responsible whale watching and unforgettable experiences.

 It wasn’t just a tour; it was a masterclass in whale preservation wrapped in the excitement of seeing so many  whales up close. The guides are super knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

* Why should I choose a responsible whale-watching tour in Puerto Vallarta? Responsible whale watching allows you to experience the incredible beauty of humpback whales while helping protect them and their natural habitat. By choosing an authorized operator with knowledgeable guides and experienced captains, you support respectful wildlife encounters that minimize disturbance to whales, especially mothers and their calves. At Whale Watchers Vallarta, we believe the most memorable encounters happen when whales are free to behave naturally. Our goal is to provide an educational, meaningful, and unforgettable experience while keeping their well-being our priority.
