Private Whale watching Puerto Vallarta

5.0 63 verified reviews

This is a private whale watching outing on Banderas Bay, in Puerto Vallarta. Going private means personalized attention, your own boat and crew, and more room to avoid crowds. The listed duration is about 3 hours.

The plan is to navigate across the whole bay observing the behavior of marine mammals. The operator also mentions dolphins, turtles, mantas and other wildlife as part of a full contact with nature, although what you actually see depends on the day.

On board you find a hydrophone, life vests, bottled water and snacks. The price covers the boat ride, as well as Bahía Unida wrist bands and government permits, which the listing links to whale conservation protection and research.

Lunch, gratuities and government fees are not included. Since the listing mentions government permits as included and government fees as excluded, ask the operator when you book which charges are covered.

The tour is described as suitable for all physical fitness levels, but it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnant travelers or people with poor cardiovascular health. People under the influence of alcohol or any drug are not permitted, and the recommended minimum age is 10 years. Public transportation options are available nearby. No meeting point is given in the listing, so confirm it after booking.
