What to expect

The waters off Puerto Vallarta are teeming with sea creatures. On this tour, you'll set sail in search of the most impressive of them all – the humpback whale. And seeing them in their natural habitat offers up the ideal opportunity for those perfect holiday snaps.

Casting off from Banderas Bay, you'll head out in search of one of the largest mammals in the world – the humpback whale. Mexico's Pacific coast is home to huge schools of these fascinating animals and your knowledgeable captain knows just where to head.

Along the way, an expert guide fills you in on a wealth of whale facts as well as plenty of info about other wildlife in the area. As you sail, you'll keep your camera close as these majestic creatures can appear at any moment – and they just love to show off.
