A Different Way to Experience Puerto Vallarta

You’ve explored Puerto Vallarta from the streets. Now see it from the ocean.

SEA Vallarta takes you along the coastline from Los Peines toward Los Arcos de Mismaloya, combining beautiful views of the city, mountains, beaches, and iconic landmarks with the possibility of encountering marine wildlife along the way.

Rather than rushing from one activity to another, this experience is about enjoying the journey: feeling the ocean breeze, discovering Puerto Vallarta’s coastline, learning about Banderas Bay, and watching for whatever nature decides to show us that day.

Three hours. One beautiful coastline. A completely different view of Vallarta.

EXPLORE VALLARTA FROM THE SEA

Your 3-Hour Coastal Adventure

Board Bruna at Los Peines Pier and get comfortable as we begin navigating south along Puerto Vallarta’s coastline.

Your guide will introduce you to the bay while you enjoy views of Marina Vallarta, the Hotel Zone, Downtown Puerto Vallarta, Conchas Chinas, and the mountains that surround the city.

Along the way, keep your eyes on the water. Dolphins, sea turtles, rays, seabirds, and other marine species may appear at any moment.

Our journey continues toward one of Puerto Vallarta’s most recognizable natural landmarks: Los Arcos de Mismaloya, where dramatic rock formations rise from the Pacific just off the southern coastline.

After enjoying the scenery, we begin our relaxing journey back to Puerto Vallarta.

This is a wildlife experience, not a wildlife show. Every day on Banderas Bay is different, and marine wildlife sightings are always natural and unpredictable.

The whale-watching trip was truly amazing! It is worth pointing out that the tour guide Isabel is an marine biologist and knows her stuff really well. You will be guided/lectured by a professional who loves what she does The tours she offers are phenomenal! Also, nature helped quite a bit: we saw, separately, three mothers with their calves, and the calves were constantly playing and jumping! We saw a total of about a dozen whales (including large males jumping), almost a hundred dolphins (in 7 or 8 pods), sea turtles, various birds, and even flying fish! I had never seen flying fish in person before; they were fascinating. And, since Isabel is a nature lover, she also brings a hydrophone to listen to the singing males (males are the only ones that sing). At some point we stopped above a singing whale and we were able to hear the signing even without the hydrophone... an absolutely unreal experience. If you love nature, the tours offered by Isabel as an absolute must!

We had beverages, nice lunch and friendly companions. The day was glorious, we saw 2 sets of mother whales with their offspring and more. We even had a whale come from under our boat and along the side! You could even see its barnacle’s! Highly recommend this 4 hour tour! 5 stars! Thank you Isabel! 🙏🏼❤️

We saw it all - whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and birds! Isabel was also incredible kind and welcoming to my toddler (age 2). He loved all of the snacks and sandwiches she brought on board and she had a small life vest just for him.

Elegimos Vallartawhales por recomendación de un amigo, ya que son una empresa certificada y respetuosa con la fauna, y que cumple las normas y la legislación. Nos acompañó Isabel, una bióloga excelente, aprendimos muchísimo y vimos muchísimas ballenas, delfines y tortugas, respetando a los animales. Y además, con la simpatía y profesionalidad de Isabel y resto de la tripulación. 100% recomendable, la mejor opción en Vallarta!!! Amazing experience! We chose Vallartawhales as recommended by a friend. They respect animals and also the law, as they have all the permits for this activity. With Isabel, an excellent biologist, we learnt a lot, watched a lot of whales, dolphins & sea turtles, but also with the máximum respect and care to animals. Plus the sympathy and professionalism of the staff. 100% recomendable, the best option in Vallarta!!!
