Whale Watching Encounter

One of the most unforgettable experiences in Puerto Vallarta on Banderas Bay is the opportunity to connect directly with nature, especially in the presence of the majestic humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), also known as yubarta, jibarte, or xibarte. This region serves as a sanctuary for these giant marine mammals, offering a rare chance to witness their powerful splashes, graceful tail movements, playful behaviors, and the tender interactions between mothers and their calves. The experience becomes even more captivating when you hear their haunting and beautiful songs echoing through the water, creating a moment that stays with you long after the tour ends.

Your whale watching adventure is guided by knowledgeable marine experts who will share fascinating insights into whale biology, behavior, and mating rituals, as well as their migration patterns, feeding habits, and breeding cycles. With the help of an onboard hydrophone, you will also have the incredible opportunity to listen to their songs live, allowing you to carry home one of nature’s most mysterious and enchanting sounds. This is a remarkable experience you won't want to miss.
