Absolutely AWESOME!!! One of the best experiences I have had [and I have travelled extensively ! ;) ]. 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!

What a great day we just had on this trip! Isabel is so knowledgeable, warm, friendly and attentive to her guests. 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! 🙏🏼❤️

Best whale watching experience! I learned so much from Isabel about humpback whales and their behavior. 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.

Experiencia increíble! 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!!!

Fantastic whale watching trip. We saw 10 humpbacks including a baby, and many dolphins. Iza the guide was so informative and pleasant and Alex the captain was stellar.
