    What To Expect

    Witness the awe-inspiring beauty of humpback whales in their natural habitat.

    Each winter, these majestic creatures migrate thousands of miles to the warm, sheltered waters of Banderas Bay — part of one of the longest migrations in the animal kingdom.

    During your 3.5-hour whale watching tour, you’ll cruise aboard our state-of-the-art APEX speed boats — built for speed, comfort, and stability — gliding across the ocean at up to 40 mph.

    Keep your eyes on the horizon. Humpbacks are known to breach without warning, slap their tails in thunderous displays, and wave their fins in slow, graceful arcs.

    No two tours are ever the same. These are rare, moving encounters with some of the ocean’s most intelligent giants.

    All of our tours are legally sanctioned by the government of Mexico. Our captains and guides are fully certified and professionally trained — because we do it right!

    Cool Puerto Vallarta wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Puerto Vallarta over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
