01
Arrival & Safety Briefing
Welcome at Punta de Mita Marina. Your captain will give a brief introduction to onboard safety measures and the behavior protocol around cetaceans to ensure a responsible experience.
02
Cruising & Locating
We begin cruising through Banderas Bay. During this phase, the captain actively looks for signs of activity: blows, tail slaps, or breaches on the horizon. It’s the perfect time to learn about the migration and the biology of these giants.
03
Sighting & Documentation
Once a group or individual is located, we maintain the required distance. You’ll be able to observe natural behaviors such as calf care, courtship play, or impressive breaches. A unique moment for photography and quiet contemplation.
04
Return to the Marina
Cruise back to the marina. We use this time to hydrate, review what we captured, and share final reflections on the importance of protecting these marine ecosystems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if we don’t manage to see whales?
We have a success rate above 99% during the season. However, as they are wild animals, there’s a small chance we won’t find them. In that case, our guarantee offers you a second tour completely free so you don’t miss the experience.
What’s the best time for the tour?
Whales are active all day. Morning departures usually have calmer waters, while afternoon trips offer spectacular light for photography. Both options provide the same likelihood of sightings.
Is it a safe activity for children and older adults?
Absolutely. Because it’s a private tour, we cruise at a comfortable pace for your group. Our boats are stable, and we have certified life jackets for all ages. It’s one of the most recommended family experiences in Punta de Mita.
What should we bring on board?
We recommend biodegradable sunscreen, a cap or hat with a secure fit, sunglasses, and a camera with a good zoom. On cool winter days, a light windbreaker can be very useful during the cruise.
Live the encounter of a lifetime.
