Forget the aquarium or the zoo. Go out into nature and see wildlife in a natural habitat on our Puerto Vallarta Dolphins Baby Sea Turtles adventure! This two-for-one excursion lets you take part in a Puerto Vallarta turtle release and a see dolphins up close! Oh, and you’ll even get to swim with the dolphins if the wild mammals feel like entertaining guests. With so much action, it’s easy to see why this eco-tour is a favorite!
So, let’s talk about dolphins. These dolphins are in the wild, and they are an active bunch. The boat has a hydrophone, so you can listen to them talk to one another while they frolic and play. Your captain and crew will assess the situation and see if you can swim with them. Juvenile dolphins typically enjoy meeting people, so if the kids are around, you can dive into the water and have a little swim. Even if you have to stay on board, you will love this experience.
So, how about the turtles? You’ve likely seen some videos of baby sea turtles, but nothing beats experiencing them in person. When you arrive at the turtle camp, your guide will take you down the beach, looking for females who are laying eggs. Then, it’ll be time for the Puerto Vallarta turtle release. You’ll get to release a baby turtle into the water, where it will get its sea legs. This is truly a magical experience.

Nuevo Vallarta hotel guests meet us directly in the sea turtle camp (exact instructions will be on your confirmation voucher).
Length: Anywhere from 2.5 to 4 hours (the excursion is shorter in December and January because the turtles are no longer nesting; we only have baby turtles).

Cruise Ship Passengers: This is an all-day adventure and doesn’t work with cruise itineraries. The baby turtle release is only done during the evening; daylight makes the turtles easy to spot for flying predators.
Wild Dolphin excursion is a great option for you however!
Insider Tip: Unlike other excursions out there, our tour operator actually offers a 100% guarantee of finding wild dolphins. If you don’t find any on your outing, we’ll give you a full refund.
