Whale Watching Tours
Three tours work Banderas Bay from December to March: a $45 outing that mixes whale watching with snorkeling, a four-hour catamaran with open bar and meals, and a mega yacht sunset cruise from $110.
The three-hour whale and snorkel trip is the quick option. On the four-hour catamaran, families get open bar and meals, while the mega yacht sunset cruise gives couples an evening on the bay.
3 tours, from $45 per person.

When To Book Your Tour In Puerto Vallarta
December to March is whale season on Banderas Bay, when all three tours run. Those months fall outside the May 15 to November 30 Pacific hurricane season and its August to October peak.
Whale trips leave from meeting points around the bay; confirm yours on the live booking page, then push out into Banderas Bay where the humpbacks gather each winter.
