5.00I was just on this tour two weeks ago with friends and it was a great time. This time I was with family. What a great time. The whales were super active. We had a baby whale splashing all over the place. I got many great videos and pictures. I would 100% recommend this crew of Captain Alex and Isabella to anyone. They are very very knowledgeable. You can not go wrong either them!!
A Whale of a time!!

5.00What a Great day!! We saw many whales and three types of dolphins. We actually heard the whales from underwater also. Our Guide, Captain, and First Mate were all very good. Our Guide-Isabella-was outstanding. She is so knowledgeable about the whales and the Bay itself. I would definitely use them again. Plus the lunch was great too!! Well worth it!!!
Carefree and educational day on the water

5.00We had a great day on Bruna with captain Alex and Isabella who skillfully and with humour educated us about the whales we saw. This was well organized, with snacks and a tasty lunch. The boat is solid and powerful and masterly driven by Alex. We were fortunate to have a great day as well. I have never seen such a whale show - we didn't wait more than a few minutes before the next whale would show up! We saw at least three groups of you g whales with their mothers and escort and so many more. At one point there was a young whale breaching on the left and an adult on the right hitting the water with his incredible flipper! I would HIGHLY recommend this trip.

5.00This is the only way to do whale watching. First class all the way. Isa was very knowledgeable and provided lots of information about the whales and their habits. Captain Alex made sure we had many encounters with other whales in the the bay. We saw more than 20 whales this day. Towards the end of the tour Captain Alex saw whales in the distance and when we approached the area, they breached right out of the water several times. We were treated to a real show. The boat, Bruna, was not over crowded and we were well looked after by Isa, Captain Alex and Luis. Thank you for a great day.
Great Day on Banderas Bay

5.00We were lucky and saw many whales (mamas & babies). Tour was well organized, friendly and punctual. Captain and his asst were awesome and tour guide Isabel was very knowledgeable about whales and the ocean environment. Lunch and snacks were also really nice-loved the ecological details like the food boxes. Added bonus to see a pod of dolphins close up. Overall a great experience!

5.00We did the whale watching tour with our very own oceanographer & it was amazing !!! We haven’t seen that many whales & dolphins in all our Ada sails (and we’ve done a lot) - TOP NOTCH service !! You will not find a more knowledgeable & friendly crew - they are the best & you won’t be disappointed !!!

5.00As usual another fantastic day on the water with the crew of ADA. Relaxing, feeling pampered and very comfortable way to spend your day. Safe and secure. The crew is at your side to ensure you have a wonderful day. Will be going out on this ship again before I return to the great white north in April
