About This Tour
Your experience begins with comfortable round-trip transportation from Puerto Vallarta in our private company vehicles. At Playa Mismaloya, you’ll check in at our office, meet your guide, and receive a short briefing before heading out on the water. We then cruise into the Bay of Banderas, one of the top whale-watching destinations in the world. Whale sightings are guaranteed, and often times humpback whales breach, slap their tails, and swim alongside their calves. Along the way, you may also encounter dolphins, sea turtles, and rays. Next, we’ll visit the Los Arcos Marine Sanctuary, where you’ll have the chance to snorkel in waters filled with colorful tropical fish and vibrant marine life. This iconic site, with its dramatic arches and caves, is also home to a variety of seabirds, adding to its magic. With small groups, expert local guides, whale encounters, snorkeling, and stunning scenery, this tour is one of the most unforgettable adventures in Puerto Vallarta.
