Express Whale Watching aboard Classic Sailboat Charter from Puerto Vallarta
Are you going to Puerto Vallarta during the whale watching season? Then our Puerto Vallarta Half-Day Whale Watching excursion needs to be the first item on your itinerary! Our seasoned captain and crew know how to spot the whales, and they will get you as close as possible to these majestic creatures during the tour. When you go whale watching in Puerto Vallarta, it’s like two tours in one. Whales migrate to the warm waters for mating and calving, so you’ll get to watch courtship rituals and baby whales. There’s just one thing to keep in mind – whale watching season is short, and these tours are popular. If you put off booking our Puerto Vallarta Half-Day Whale Watching tour, you might miss out!
The crew will provide you with a continental breakfast, snacks, and open bar as your captain takes you out to sea and close to the whales. When the captain or crew spots the whales, they’ll make an announcement, and you can move to the side of the sailboat to see them.
Mating rituals usually are the first thing to grab people’s attention. Courtship is a big deal for humpback whales. Several male whales often surround one female, vying for her attention. They’ll do all sorts of acrobatics, and you’ll get to enjoy the show.
While that’s the most attention-grabbing part of the tour, the baby calves are the cutest. You’ll watch as the newly born calves learn to swim with their mothers. They essentially play follow the leader, doing everything their mothers do.
This is one of the most popular whale watching tours in Puerto Vallarta, so grab your spot today. You don’t want to miss this adventure.
