Puerto Vallarta Whale Watching Tour

This whale watching tour in Puerto Vallarta runs on a boat equipped for sighting, with ample space to watch from any angle and a hydrophone that lets you hear whale song underwater. The tour lasts about 240 minutes.

The trip begins with the boat leaving port in search of the whales. It sails through different points of the bay, staying in contact with other boats and watching for signs such as the blow when a whale surfaces to breathe, or the movement of tails and fins.

Once a group is located, the crew follows the distance recommended by the environmental authorities so as not to alter the animals' natural behavior. According to the operator, you remain close enough to appreciate their size and grace.

A marine biologist guides the whole tour and shares facts about the behavior, migration and social life of humpback whales, which gives the outing an educational side.

Breakfast and coffee or tea are included, along with the hydrophone and the on-board biologist. The listing does not name any excluded items. It is suitable for all physical fitness levels; infants must sit on an adult's lap, and public transportation options are available nearby. No meeting point is given, so confirm it when you book.
