The winter months are just perfect for holidays in Puerto Vallarta. The climate is pleasant and one of the greatest events for nature lovers take place: The arrival of the whales. Especially the giants of the sea, the humpback whales, let us marvel about the beauty of the environment we live in. Flicking their tails, jumping out of the water and communicating with deep sounds that let the water vibrate.. it is surely an unforgettable natural experience. Gray whales are also common these days, and often one can see their babies swimming along.
The mammals arrive in late November in Banderas Bay for mating and birth giving, and stay here a couple of months before returning home, usually in April. During this time, visitors can book whale watching tours that are offered by many different operators and often include a money-back guarantee when there were no whales spotted. It is also highly probable to see other magnificent sea creatures during the tour, like dolphins, turtles and giant mantas. An awesome opportunity to take unique photos, to learn about the sea environment and to experience nature with one's very eyes. We recommend this activity especially for families with children, since this is an educative event with a great fun factor! The marine biologists that usually guide the tours also provide valuable information and insight about the impressive mammals and their habitat in general. When you visit Puerto Vallarta in winter or early spring, don't miss the chance to witness the whale season!
