Whale Watching with Biologist on board

This whale watching outing sails through the Bay of Flags (Bahía de Banderas) in search of humpback whales, with a biologist on board. Puerto Vallarta is described as a refuge and breeding ground for these animals, because the bay and its warm waters allow them to reproduce.

The trip lasts about 120 minutes, during which the boat navigates different areas of the bay looking for whales. The biologist explains in detail what is known about these animals as you go. The operator says it looks for different groups of cetaceans and follows all federal guidelines and regulations to protect the whales, so the sightings are regulated and ethical.

Depending on the day, you may see whales with different behaviors, such as passing by, tail movements, fights and jumps, which the description calls the best part. As with any wildlife outing, what you see cannot be guaranteed.

The outing suits anyone interested in whales who wants some explanation with the sighting. Bottled water and breakfast are included. Public transportation is available nearby. The activity is rated for all fitness levels, but it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnant travelers or those with poor cardiovascular health. The listing gives no meeting point or start time, so check your confirmation.
