About This Tour
Witness majestic Humpback Whales in Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay. Each winter, the humpbacks migrate from the arctic to breed and rear their young in the sheltered coasts of Banderas Bay. Join a specialized 3-hour speedboat ride led by a marine mammal expert and take the most striking photography from this unique, sea-level vantage point - a perspective that is a rare privilege in the natural world.
