5.00We had an amazing experience with Carlos and crew. We learned about different kind of whales and Carlos took time to answer all of our questions. We were lucky enough to see several whales with calves and got to listen to their songs. We will definitely come back next time we are in Puerto Vallarta!
Don't skip this if you're visiting PV

5.00Capt and guide were wonderful. We were lucky enough to see a large group of male whales competing for the female’s attention! We watched for few hours very close to us at times and absolutely amazing to see. We loved it! Was nice doing private boat so you could move around freely to watch and photograph. Would do again! After doing a couple whales tours here I would always choose morning not afternoon. This was morning and perfect!
Fantastic trip, great crew.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Rodrigo and the Captain. Both were exceptional in their respective roles. They could see the whales and maneuvered the boat well so we could see them. Rodrigo was very knowledgeable and told us many things about the whales and dolphins that we saw. It was the best whale watching experience we’ve ever had. We saw more whales than ever before and we whale watch every chance we get. Three whales came to our boat and dove under it. Wow.
Best experience ever!

5.00Erik and Emilio are the best! Knowledgeable and gave us the best experience. We saw over 13 whales: mamas and their babies, couples, and groups competing for the female whale :)
Great Experience!

5.00Carlos was an amazing guide. He was very informative and funny. They knew exactly where to take us to see the whales. We saw one baby learning to breach and another flapping his tail. This was our second trip with the company and we will be back!!
