|  | Our Whale Photo Safari offers you the opportunity to witness, and photograph, an entire range of humpback whale behaviors, from gentle mother and calf interaction to mature bulls heaving their giant bodies out of the water and splashing back down again in nature's most spectacular acrobatic display.
 At such moments, when time seems to stand still and the modern world seems very far away, even the most experienced photographer can forget to point and shoot. But that's okay, the essence of our Whale Photo Safari is to provide you with a safe, pleasurable and unique whale watching experience.
 Our whale watching photo safaris are conducted from the comfort and safety of our Apex inflatable speed boats, and guided by exceptionally talented marine mammal behavior experts who are passionate about protecting wildlife and the environment. As we follow the humpbacks across Banderas Bay, we conscientiously avoid altering their natural behavior in order to give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of these magnificent mammals - and one of the most gratifying experiences you'll have in your lifetime.
 A light, delicious lunch and unlimited beverages are provided on this unforgettable whale watching experience. Don't forget to bring your camera and binoculars, plenty of film or video cartridges and fully-charged batteries so you can share the experience with your friends and family back home.
 Available from Dec 8th through March 23rd, our Whale Photo Safari is one of the most popular whale watching tours in Puerto Vallarta and spaces are limited - so make your reservations TODAY!
