Overview

Mexico's coasts become a playground for nature's most incredible spectacle during the winter season. Eight out of the eleven known whale species in the world choose this destination, and the Humpback Whales turn Bahía de Banderas into their home. Here, in a perfect climate and rich marine environment, they mate, give birth, and nurture their young. Our specially designed boats offer you a front-row seat to witness these giants in their natural habitat, showcasing their astonishing leaps and playful interactions.
While you marvel at these gentle giants, we ensure your comfort with refreshing drinks and delectable snacks prepared just for you. With every leap and twist of the Humpback Whales, you'll be left in awe. Don't miss your chance to experience this unforgettable spectacle – book your tour now and create lasting memories amidst the beauty of Mexico's winter season. Whale Sighting Guarantee: Repeat the tour at no extra cost if no whales are spotted.
