Because of this strong whale following, these days we are able to offer the largest catalog of whale watching tours Puerto Vallarta has ever seen, so it's a really great time to experience this Bucket List-worthy activity.

There are so many tour options that there is something to suit any taste: you can choose what boat you go on, what other activities you do alongside your visit with the whales, and even how many people go with you! Want the boat all to yourself? It's a likely bet that can be accomplished! Puerto Vallarta's gorgeous Banderas Bay has arguably the best whale watching Mexico has to offer anywhere, and we want your interaction with these amazing whales to be something you never forget. So the list of variations is long, and each has your comfort and uniqueness in mind.

Do you love the roominess and stability of a catamaran, or do you find that a smaller boat puts you more in touch with the sea life? What about a sailboat? Changing the boat, changes the whole experience. So we're really excited to bring you this wide variety of ways you can personalize this excursion to suit you perfectly.

The best time for whale watching in Puerto Vallarta is December through March, and that's also a great time to see our wild dolphins frolicking in their natural habitat! If you're interested in seeing both, perhaps the Whales and Dolphins Combo is for you. Want even more wildlife? We can even get you up close and personal with baby sea turtles on one of the most fun things to do in Puerto Vallarta: a baby turtle release. On this tour you'll see the whales and dolphins, and then be treated to a backstage pass into the world of baby sea turtles! Walk the beach in search of mama turtles laying eggs, then release some previously-hatched babies into the wild. It's a magical, fun, and touching experience your whole family will love.

What's really great is the most any of these fantastic Puerto Vallarta tours can also be made private, so if that's what you're looking for, be sure to check for that option in each of the individual descriptions!

One of the most wonderful things about Puerto Vallarta is the boundless wildlife and our ability to get close to it. For all the best options in whale watching activities, check out all our Puerto Vallarta excursions here.
