Amazing morning! We saw so many whales, including a mom and her calf. The crew is awesome and the boat is super comfortable. Highly recommend.

Such a special morning.Hearing the whales through the hydrophone was something well never forget. Being out on the ocean, surrounded by nature, made the whole experience feel truly magical.

Small group, great guide and we saw humpback whales up close. The morning light and calm ocean made it unforgettable experience.

* 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.
