Whale Watching Puerto Vallarta & Punta Mita

Whale Watching Experience

The Marietas Islands are a natural wonder and the epicenter for whale watching in Puerto Vallarta.
Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in these spectacular surroundings on our half-day whale watching excursions Puerto Vallarta.
While many look for a Puerto Vallarta whale watch in the crowded downtown marinas, our tours depart directly from the Punta Mita pier—the fastest access point to the Puerto Vallarta whales sanctuary.

💡 Pro Tip:
If you are staying in Sayulita or San Pancho, our whale watching Punta Mita departure saves you over an hour of travel time, getting you to the action faster during the peak season (December – March).
