Friendly Tours offers daily and customized trips to

and specialized crew.
Humpbacks,
Bryde´s Whales and a wide variety of Dolphins including
Orcas inhabit the waters of Bahia de Banderas during
the winter and spring months. For its geographic location,
weather and oceanographic features, this bay has been chosen as
an important breeding ground for some of these species such as
the Humpback Whale.
Known
as the most acrobatic of all whales, the Humpback Whale can be
seen in this region from November thru April. Mothers and
Calves, Courting Groups or Individual Whales are common
sightings. Humpbacks have the widest known vocalizations
repertory of all baleen whales and generally occur in
warm-water breeding areas such as Bahia de Banderas, here
snorkellers and divers can hear their tonal songs underwater,
and so do we with the use of a hydrophone and speaker system
onboard.
The
Whale Watching season for Humpback Whales is officially open
from December 15th to March 31st, the weather in Puerto Vallarta
gives great and comfortable conditions to adventure out in
the ocean to encounter this gentle Giants of the Sea. Don´t
miss it !
 Puerto
Vallarta, Jalisco
México
Vallarta is in
the tropics, on the Pacific Ocean side of Mexico, tucked into a
mountainous coastal area. We're located on one of the
largest, deepest, and most stunning natural bays in the world,
Bahia de Bandaras, which supports almost any form of water
recreation imaginable. Aside from whales and dolphins, the
wind and waves are great here for sailing, surfing and boarding.
In
Puerto Vallarta the air is clean, the sun shines without rain
almost all winter long, and the sunsets - well, they're as
spectacular as you could possibly ask for.
“Whale watching is not only an
interactive way to approach the world of whales and dolphins, it
also brings out a greater understanding about the perfection of
nature.”
