4 hours on a modern catamaran in Puerto Vallarta, with marine biologist insights, whale sightings, and breakfast, lunch, and cocktails onboard.
“We had an amazing experience and would recommend this company. The guide and his group were exceptional. We watched from the top deck as the guide assisted several people with mobility issues so they could see the whales. The food was very good as was the service. We saw so many whales, and appreciated how our captain was so respectable towards them giving them lots of space. We will be back again next year! Thanks again!”
