Amazing!!!
Absolutely amazing. The highlight of our trip!! The adventure was SO FUN. They have so much variety that it stays so fun the whole time and you’re excited for what comes next. The guides take such good care of you and are fun!! I want everyone I know to experience this adventure! The boat, the bus, the mules, the zip lines, repelling, waterfalls, waterslides, all so exciting!!!!

A must-do
This was, hands down, the best experience I’ve had on a trip. The staff are super knowledgeable - actual biologists - who tell you about dolphins and other sea creatures ahead of the trip. They are so kind and helpful once out at the dive location. My daughter got scared (she’s 8, and while excited, the size of the dolphins got very real, very quickly once in the water), and they offered help and comfort to her to make her feel safe and engaged. They had plenty cold drinks which they readily offered to ensure no one got dehydrated. They were concerned primarily with safety of guests and dolphins. They did not bait dolphins with food and were concerned that we were only swimming with pods that were out for fun (no mamas with babies). Truly a magical experience and made all the better by the incredible staff. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

This was such a fun day!...
This was such a fun day! All of the guys were so fun and the views were incredible. The lunch and drinks hit so good after a day on the mountains. We even got to hold monkeys and toucans! Highly recommend taking the speed boat option to see Los Arcos. 5 ⭐️ would definitely recommend!

Amazing experience!
This was awesome! Better than we could have imagined or hoped for. Our guides were the best - so friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and enthusiastic! About 10 of us were in a safe boat with room to move around. We saw so many whales - even ones that fully breached the surface of the water! Also saw a ton of dolphins and a sea turtle. I would do this again in heartbeat - what a cool experience! Muchas gracias!

Great whale watching experience
We have gone on several whale watching tours in different parts of the world and this was one of the best. It was great to have a small number of guests as it was easy to listen to Thalia give her info tidbits about the whales and other wildlife we came across. She is a biologist and her area of specialty is the study of whales in the Bay of Banderas. She has been doing these tours for over 20 years and has in depth knowledge to share. We learned so much and want to do other tours with this company and with Thalia. I lost count of the number of whales we saw- lots of moms and babies and males showing off to get the females attention!! The boat was comfortable and had shade coverage and an area to climb up to for even better views. Lunch and beverages were included and tasty. It was easy to find the meeting point and the tour started and finished on time.
Take this tour- you won’t regret it!

Great tour!
Such a fun day! While whale watching can be unpredictable, this tour and the guides made it worth it even if there weren’t as many whales as you might hope. We did end up getting some amazing views of a group of humpbacks from very close toward the end of the tour thanks to the efforts of our captain, but even if we hadn’t we would recommend the tour just for the amazing day spent out on the water with unlimited drinks.

Whale Watching in Puerto Vallarta
The instructions for finding the starting point were confusing but we figured it out. After we were checked in they took excellent care of us. The tour was a highlight of the trip. The captain and guide took us exactly to a great spot for whale watching and even some dolphins. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend.
