Puerto Vallarta Whale Watching with Lunch and Open Bar

This whale watching trip from Puerto Vallarta is run on a steady, spacious catamaran with all facilities on board, and is presented as the most comfortable way to see whales in the area. The outing lasts 180 minutes and is aimed at people who prefer stability and services over a small, bare-bones boat.

The centerpiece is the whale migration itself, which the operator calls one of the most exciting migrations in the ocean. The listing does not give departure times, the route or the season, so check availability dates when you book rather than assuming whales are present all year. You may even spot whales while eating lunch on board, according to the operator.

Lunch is a deli-style buffet served on the catamaran, and the trip includes open bar service. That takes care of food and drinks during the outing, and makes the day an easy one for groups, couples or families who want to watch the sea without organizing anything else.

Suitable for all physical fitness levels, the tour does not demand any special preparation. Note that drones are prohibited, due to federal regulations and to protect the flight path of endemic birds. Mexico's Federal Maritime Ports also enforce a strict no-drug policy, including electronic cigarettes, vapers and all kinds of drugs, and no refund or change of day is offered to guests denied access by Federal Security.

Included are lunch and the open bar. Hotel pickup and drop-off, gratuities and admission fees are not included, so plan your own transfer to the meeting area. The listing does not give a meeting point, so use the details in your booking confirmation.
