Puerto Vallarta is a key location to observe humpback whales in their natural environment during their migration season. This whale watching day trip lasts about three and a half hours and is led by a marine biologist who provides detailed information about the whales’ behavior, biology, and conservation. The tour begins with an educational talk at Ecotours Vallarta covering whale biology, ecology, and behavior. Participants then board an authorized motorboat at Marina Vallarta to begin the whale watching on the water. The boat is equipped with a hydrophone system that allows guests to listen to whale songs, including those of male humpback whales. Small group sizes help maintain a personalized atmosphere, and guests receive a “Responsible Whale Watcher” sticker to acknowledge their participation in conservation efforts. The tour includes refreshments such as coffee or tea, sodas, granola bars, and light bites, with water refills available. Onboard restrooms are also provided. The operator supports whale research and marine protection through the sponsorship of Ecology and Conservation of Whales. Travel insurance and a professional guide are included. Alcoholic drinks, gratuities, and a boarding fee to Ecotours Vallarta are not included. Infants under two years old are not permitted. Guests should notify the operator of any dietary restrictions when booking. Refunds are not given if guests miss the tour due to late or non-arrival of cruise ships.
