What To Expect

THIS TOUR IS ON A VERY HIGH DEMAND RIGHT NOW, PLEASE BOOK AS MUCH TIME IN ADVANCE POSIBLE, TXS! :)
Banderas Bay is a place of wonder and natural beauty that truly becomes unique in so many ways. One of those ways is to go out and enjoy having a fun, memorable day watching whales. Humpback whales have for ages made the trip down south to warmer waters, to reproduce and nurture their baby whales. It's an amazing display of behavior that will make this an unforgettable experience beyond anyone could tell, so better come and enjoy for yourselves.

An absolute must while on Puerto Vallarta, because the whales are here for about 4 months-a-year only, so take advantage and whether you're here for the first or been here for a gazillion times, or if you made it here by driving, flying or cruising, come on and get to enjoy what we are proud to rate: "the best day of your vacation".
