Puerto Vallarta’s original whale-watching company offers an unforgettable experience to observe the playful and majestic humpback whales. These whales migrate from their northern feeding grounds to the warm tropical waters for mating and calving. During this time, males perform impressive displays of power, including tail flapping, pectoral fin slapping, and spectacular breaches, where a 40-ton whale can launch out of the water. Female whales return with their calves, who are energetic and playful as their mothers prepare them for the long migration north. This is a rare opportunity to witness the fascinating behaviors of these incredible marine mammals up close in their natural environment.

Guests sail aboard classic boats that are comfortable, shaded, equipped with bathrooms, and designed to be non-intrusive to the whales with low noise levels, ensuring excellent viewing. Experienced guides share their extensive knowledge about humpback whales and marine life, making the experience both educational and thrilling. Throughout the tour, passengers can relax and enjoy the outstanding service and hospitality of the crew, a hallmark of Pegaso, while connecting with the beauty and power of these magnificent animals.

What an amazing experience! The Skipper was super professional, we saw over 40 common dolphins, and a Fin Whale, which was amazing. We attended as a friend group and had the best times. Would highly recommend

The tour was amazing even though we weren't lucky enough to see any whales. The captain did his best to show us some animals, and on the way back to the harbour we saw dolphins. The landscapes were beautiful, and everything went very well. I would definitely recommend it.

We took the whale watching tour in August 2025 on a warm sunny day from Kinsale. The guide was friendly and informative. The captain drove us way out to deep water where we saw huge numbers of dolphin. On the way past the cliffs we also saw a few seals. It was a thrilling day out and yet also peaceful watching the waves for signs of mammals and enjoying the sea spray. We were resigned to seeing nothing apart from ocean and scenery. Very grateful that both the captain and guide persevered until we saw them. Got back to Kinsale about 30 minutes after the schedule thanks to their flexibility. Highly recommend.

A lovely day in Courtmacsherry. The captain was very kind. The boat is comfortable, with a toilet. I was a good experience. Unfortunately I didn't see any whales. But we saw dolphins, fur seals and a giant shark! Lucky day 💖
