Top 4 Whale Watching in Puerto Vallarta

1.Whale Watching Cruise In Puerto Vallarta & Nuevo Vallarta

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 398 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $99Our pick

Catamaran whale watching in Puerto Vallarta, Bay of Banderas, with open bar, breakfast, and buffet lunch for about four hours.

“Our boat was slightly delayed clearing the gangway (25 minutes). We contacted Mikes Fishing and told them, they said when you get off head right to the pier, which we did and they were GONE. they are denying us a refund because it wasn’t their fault. (Wasn’t my fault either). Wouldn’t use Viator or Mike’s fishing ever again. Save $20, but lost $200. Total ripoff. I can understand I didn’t make the boat, but to not offer my money back or a future credit makes the nickels worth of savings not worth it. Lesson learned.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 62 reviews · 3 hours · from $45Best value

Puerto Vallarta humpback whale watching and snorkeling on a 3-hour boat tour, with a guide and life jackets. From $45 pp.

“I hate writing bad reviews however there are a few things could have been made the experience more enjoyable. For starters, this tour is advertised to be a 3 hour whale watching tour. It took 7 hours to get back to the marina. 7 hours!!!. We lost dinner reservations and it was not communicated. The guide never spoke or told anything about where we were going. It felt more like just a boat ride but not a tour. We were happy we got to see some whales but again the guide never talk about them. They drop us off at the Las Animas beach which it was nice but the…”
