Imagine cruising along the water and coming across some playful dolphins chatting so clearly that you can hear them. You continue down the bay and then see a 60,000-pound whale fly through the air and come crashing back down, splashing you in the process. Then, a few miles later, a baby whale comes up for air, swimming right next to his mother. That might sound too good to be true, but that’s just a normal day on our Puerto Vallarta Whales & Dolphins excursion. This tour is the best way to see your favorite aquatic mammals, and you might even spot some marine turtles and mantas, as well. Oh, and since a marine biologist is on board, you’ll have someone right there to explain what you’re seeing.
There are lots of dolphins in Puerto Vallarta, and you can expect to see an assortment on this tour. You never know when you’ll come across bottlenose dolphins, spinner dolphins, spotted dolphins, or something else. You might even spot an orca.
When it comes to whales, you can expect to see lots of humpback whales. They come to Puerto Vallarta for calving and mating, and you will get to see both. The baby calves are so tiny it’s hard to believe they’ll grow up to be huge whales, and it’s so much fun to watch them learning the ins and outs of aquatic life. As for the adult whales, the mating rituals are like nothing you’ve ever seen. They go all out to get a mate, including singing and doing tricks. The mating rituals are easily the highlight of whale watching tours in Puerto Vallarta.
