    Our guide, Allie, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat took us right up to several whales that swam right up to our boat and under our boat. We were almost able to touch the whales. It was a great day was we highly recommend!

    I liked the guide, the trip in general, the chance to see the whales. Great group and a nice bus to the haven

    Excellent day, Ally was great and so was the panga driver. We had 2 Wales breach less than 100 yards from us. Another was right beside when she blew and got everyone on the boat wet. Although we did not get close enough to touch one, there were lots of close encounters. A great tour, good lunch, comfortable bus ride. Could not have been better. Thanks, worth every peso.

    Whales were very friendly, breaching in the distance, and came right up to the boats . Food was very good fish was fresh and the better option.

    Whale Watching

    Shelley_W, Feb 2022
    Our driver was friendly, knowledgabe and helpful. However the requirement to wear masks was not not covered in his remarks and he did not require that patrons adhere to the policy. Three prople on the trip in the bus at times were not wearing masks. This put my husband and I at risk. We asked once directly to patrons that other passangers wear masks properly fitted at all times on the bus. We chose your tour company as we have taken your trips before in Europe. Our expectaion was that the tour would professional and it would nrequire that ALL patrons adhere to the mask policy. This was not the case. We did not get back on the bus after the lunch stop for this reason. We are 76 and 71. This was a risk to us and was not what we expected from your organization. Other than that issue the trip was outstanding. Shelley Wells

    Hello, thank you for sharing, we always insist in the use of mask at all time. Our guides and personal wear it in all our services. So people can get into the bus, or vans they must wear it, unfortunately there are people who don’t understand the importance of wearing it all the trip. We will do our best to this don’t happen again. Best regards 👍

    Stroking the head of the whale !

    Susan_H, Mar 2020
    Friendly and informative staff , lots of food included in the trip. I would have preferred to have eaten at a local cafe than the smart hotel but it was a good location. Drive is a long one but worth it. Saw lots of whales,very obvious with the water spouting on the surface of water . Fantastic first experience of seeing a whale close up and I had the opportunity to stroke it’s head. Amazing feeling , one that will stay wit you for ever. Fabulous food back in la Paz overlooking. Marina. Excellent day and tour

    Experiencia inolvidable

    ErickValentn_L, Apr 2024
    La experiencia fue un sueño hecho realidad, el poder presenciar las ballenas tan cerca, siendo criaturas tan nobles e imponentes es una experiencia única en la vida, esto sumado con el gran trato recibido por parte de Sofía y Héctor nuestros guías de Choya tours hizo del viaje algo memorable, recomiendo ampliamente esta experiencia y definitivamente volvería a repetir la actividad.

    Response from Host, May 2024

    Hola, muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia. Las ballenas son animales hermosos e impresionantes por su tamaño. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de la experiencia. Ha sido un gusto poder atenderles, y mostrarles un poco de las bellezas de nuestro estado.. Saludos !

    Journée baleines

    Flexibilité pour venir nous chercher à notre logement. Accueil agréable et bonnes explications. Nous avons bien aimé l'arrêt au milieu des cactus. On a pu voir des baleines dont une de près ... Dommage quelles n'étaient pas décidées à sortir de l'eau et montrer leur tête !! ... Mais c'est leur décision !! Le trajet de La Paz à Puerto Chale et le retour se font bien sans que ce soit trop long
