Best Eco/Nature company in PV: choose EcoTours Villarta!
This experience was EXCELLENT, start to finish! Astrid is *so* incredibly knowledgeable & her enthusiasm is infectious! From the informational orientation video, through to answering group members' particular questions on the tour, we learned so much from her. Rafe was a great captain, and we felt completely safe & looked after throughout.
We went at the tail-end of the humpback season & were worried about perhaps not seeing any animals (which, of course, is beyond the company's control)... but Astrid & Rafe used all their knowledge & skill to ensure we observed our fill of 6 (six!) mom/calf pairs, explained the behavior of two "escort" males we saw, piloted around a pod of dolphins, dropped an aquaphone twice to try to get us whale sounds & pointed out other wildlife (rays, fish, a turtle, birds) along the way! The pace was entirely unhurried & you need not worry about getting your money's worth--that's not what this company is about. (And it was really cool of Astrid to explain all the scientific data she was collecting along the way.)
Be sure to bring your own clothing (for sun-protection or warmth) and additional snack (granola bar & drink provided) if you want, to ensure you're completely comfortable & ready to fully immerse yourself in a truly memorable & magical experience!

Great learning experience
Great to learn about their habits before heading out; then to see the mothers, babies and escorts swimming together.
A fantastic experience.

Best tour !
Our family has enjoyed this activity multiple years now. Miguel & Martin provided the best tour yet! It was a magical tour with fantastic whale action, dolphins, fish, and birding! A rare experience. Thank you! We'll be back soon.

Wow is all I can say. We had an amazing time. There is a small group and we enjoyed meeting. The specialist was a vetranarian who studies whales. We say males, females and babies. We saw breaching, and the whales and dalphins playing. We learned things about the whales, ( no teeth).

Great day of whale watching!!!
Our whale watching tour was great! Our guide, Francisco, was interesting and engaging and our captain, Martin, did a fantastic job taking us around the bay and spotting lots of whales. We got to see moms with calves and a mating group of mostly males, as well as dolphins and some beautiful birds and iguanas.

Great
This was the second tour we done with this company and we would do another one. Had a fun time on the tour and saw many whales. Also it's nice to learn about the whales while on the tour.

A Fantastic and Educational Morning on the Water!
This was a great tour that was very educational and informative. Our biologist guide, Margarita (aka Maggie) provided an excellent pre-tour lecture/presentation before our group went out on the boat. It was clear to us that Ecotours Vallarta was concerned with conducting whale watching operations ethically and conscientiously. We saw about 13 whales whilst on the water, along with a number of other smaller critters. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this experience to others interested in learning about the marine life in Puerto Vallarta.
