We were amazed at the number of whales that we saw. The crew was great and Nicki our guide is a whale biologist and was very informative about the humpback whale. More

Despite a fantastic, fast boat and watching some incredible whale activity this tour was truly spoilt by a loud, insensitive idiot guide. He would never shut up! He shouted for 3 hours. To be honest I have never wanted to get off a boat more. There was no absolutely no chance of enjoying the beauty of the moment with a... More

It's always a bit overwhelming upon arrival to choose vacation activities. For us, it's easy in PV since we discovered this great tour company! Vallarta Adventures offer many tours. They are professionals and very safety conscious. On each of our (4) Humpback Whale Watching trips, our tour guides have been well educated in Marine Biology. We have seen whales in... More

February is supposed to be the prime time for spotting the humpback whale out of Puerto Vallarta. So at 8 AM sharp we showed up at the marina, paid the $2 gate fee and waited around with about 20 other people for the large inflatable boat to show up. The boat ride out into Banderas Bay was "grab on" bumpy... More

I took the whale watching tour on Feb 17. I t pretty much was nothing more that a wild goose chase around the bay in pursuit of whales. Did get to see a couple dorsal fins. The tour was so bad the crew and tour guide didn't even make the "normal" solicitation for tips.I really got the impression the crew... More

The whales were great, the sun was warm but the real applause has to go to Nicky and her crewmates! We were fortunate to take a tour with Nicky two years and didn't go last year because we thought it would be a letdown! So this year when we found that once again Nicky was our guide, it was GREAT.... More

We took the Vallarta Adventure's Eco Whale tour. This tour is a must. It definitely delivered on whale and dolphin viewing. We took a catamaran to Las Marietas Islands and on the way we searched for whales. Each time we spotted a pod, of whales or a group of dolphins the boat captain slowed down and cut the motor. We...

Nicky was the most knowledgeable and passionate guide I have ever had the pleasure to meet. It was worth the trip to mexico just to do this tour. Being in a small boat gave the impression that we could reach out and touch these majestic marine mammals. The onboard microphone astounded me . All in all a life changing enlightening... More

Nicky (guide), Ramone (captain) and Salvador (first mate) were absolute professionals on this tour. I think all of my friends - and er, maybe me - had a mini crush on NIcky, she knew everything there was to know about humpback whales and was SO enthusiastic that by the end of the tour all you wanted in the world was...
