Situated on the west coast of Mexico, Banderas Bay offers sanctuary to a great profusion of sea life, the largest and most famous of which is the magnificent Humpback whale. Every winter, from mid-December to the end of March, Humpback whales migrate south from their arctic feeding grounds to breed and rear their young in the warm, protected waters of Banderas Bay, offering some of the most spectacular whale watching opportunities in the world.

During whale watching season, Humpback whales are regularly sighted in Banderas Bay as we cruise towards the tropical paradise of Las Caletas aboard our first-class catamarans. The sight of these awesome marine mammals in their natural habitat, whether they be feeding, mating, frolicking with their calves or just "cooling" out, will surely be a magical and unforgettable part of your Puerto Vallarta vacation!

And, since bringing an understanding and awareness to the public about whales and their environment is the primary focus of our whale watching tours, our professional guides, trained in wildlife behavior and protection, are always on hand to answer your questions, ensuring a safe, educational and enjoyable whale watching experience.

Our afternoon is spent exploring other wonders of nature, this time on land. Las Caletas is our own exclusive coastal sanctuary where you can discover the secrets of our jungle trail and orchid gardens, visit our parrot haven, or, if you are still feeling adventurous, take to the sea to kayak or snorkel. Or you can simply retreat to a swaying hammock on one of our secluded patios, lie back, and soak up the stunning views of our golden beach and jungle-clad surroundings.

A superb buffet lunch, all beverages, snorkeling and kayaking equipment, and professional tour guides are included in the price of this exclusive tour, so don't delay - make your reservations TODAY!
