Sailing is the perfect way to experience the best whale watching Puerto Vallarta has to offer! Banderas Bay whale watching is at the top of everyone's "things to do in Puerto Vallarta" list, and Pegaso Charters brings all the best to you like no one else can.
Deep in the northern part of Banderas Bay is where the whales mate, give birth and generally hang out. So, we'll head towards Marietas Islands in search of those telltale fins, spouts and splashes. The winds are often quite good, so if conditions are right we'll set sail. Sailing is a wonderful way to experience Puerto Vallarta whale watching because you are gliding silently across the bay.
Once on board, breakfast is served! Fuel up for snorkeling while our guide talks about the whales and the important part they play in the ecosystem. Arriving at Marietas Marine Park, we'll have a chance to hop in the water and snorkel for a while, before setting sail once again. As you finish snorkeling, lunch and an open bar await you aboard the boat, and more whales await you in the Bay! The second half of our adventure is a whole new experience as we make our way back to shore, and the bustle of Vallarta.
Of all the whale watching tours Puerto Vallarta has on offer, a full day sail with Pegaso is an experience worth savoring! The exclusive feeling of your own private sailing yacht, coupled with a full day of Banderas Bay whale watching, is that perfect combination of wild and luxurious that Vallarta has become known for.
Since whale watching in Puerto Vallarta is seasonal between December & March, these tours fill up fast. Don't miss out on the opportunity to sail with whales in Banderas Bay. Book you Marietas sailing & whale watching tour today!
