Whale Watching

This whale watching outing in Puerto Vallarta takes place on a catamaran, which the operator promotes as spacious and stable, and lasts about four hours. The target is the humpback whale, whose migration through the area is the reason for the trip.

On board, expert guides and a marine biologist share information about the whales. The boat is equipped with hydrophones, so you may be able to hear the way the whales communicate. The operator describes the outing as an eco-adventure and a day spent watching one of the ocean's great migrations.

Food and drink are part of the trip. The inclusions list a breakfast of chilaquiles with egg, hot cakes, seasonal fruit with yogurt and orange juice, plus a cold meat baguette, snacks and an open bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The itinerary adds that appetizers and open bar service close the day, and that you might spot whales while you eat.

The catamaran suits families and groups who want to watch from a comfortable platform. It is suitable for all fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. Infants must sit on an adult's lap, and public transportation is available nearby.

Check the dates before booking. The source says the humpback season in Puerto Vallarta ended on March 23, 2023, which reads as an outdated note, so confirm the current season with the operator. Port tariff and tips are not included. No meeting point is given in the source, so confirm it when you book.
