Every year something magical happens in Banderas Bay – hundreds of humpback whales arrive. These remarkable creatures appear in mid-December, give birth to their young, and stay until March. You'll be in awe of these playful 50-ton mammals leaping and crashing in the waves. Join a boat trip to see them up close before they begin the long journey north.
