Most amazing whale show on earth - It was amazing, the whale had quite of energy, jumped several times, came out a lot, and slapped the water with its tail many times. The baby tried to jump but just twisted in the water, it was funny. The information was a lot, the guy knew so much. He seemed to be an expert on whales. People need to do this once in their life time, I have done it several times and im still in awe.

Great experience - Wow what an amazing experience. I was a little nervous to go whale watching for the first time, but seeing these amazing animals in the water was such a beautiful eye opening moment! You truly get lost in watching them in the water. Benjamin, our host, was very knowledgeable throughout the tour in everything we needed to know about whales! The 3 hours went by very quickly, and we saw the whales for almost the entire time. We were provided sandwiches and snacks during the tour. For anyone thinking about whale watching for the first time and nervous about their size, please try it out! You’ll be happy you did.

Not to be missed - Whale Watch Guarantee lived up to its name - and more so! A fabulous experience from the start. We booked thru Trip Advisor. The info provided online on where to go to sign in - at the Los Veranos Canapy Tour office - was clear and accurate. Allen, who registered us, was pleasant and efficient. He walked us a short two blocks to the port and delivered us to the tour boat - a large Zodiac-style boat with about 20 seats. This is not a large party boat experience. You climb over the gunwale with their assistannce to get on and off. Once on, you stay in your place. But even less limber folks were able to navigate the boat. When the boat goes fast, you will get wet. The boat was nimble and expertly navigated to get really close to the whales, dolfins and even a sea turtle. Our tour guude/naturalist, Benji, spoke perfect English and Spanish, translating his sentences from one language to the other seamlessly giving us great, accurate information in a fun and lightheaded manner. The whale sightings were amazing! Mothers, calves and males. We were meters away from calves breeching the water, adults slapping, flukes rising out of the water and all manners of activities. The captain raced from sighting to sighting to ensure we saw everything we could. It was clear the team wanted us to have a great experience. It was a great day.

Fantastic…10/10 - Absolutely fantastic tour guide , day, and many whales! This was my and my partner’s first time and for sure we’ve got at least 10 or 15 minutes of video recordings which I have to cut :)) Tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and funny We have received sandwich and water at the end, which was at the perfect time This experience is also very emotional, just puts things in perspective.

Humpback Delight! - This was such a great experience! I loved zipping out into deeper waters while Miguel explained so much to us. The way he encouraged us to ask questions was very inviting too. And we ended basically following a mother and calf for what seemed to be a couple of miles as they jumped and tossed around. It was our own Nat Geo experience with a great captain and a delightful guide!

Smaller boat with entertaining guide - This was one of the best parts of our vacation to Puerto Vallarta. Benji is an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. We didn't feel like we were in a Biology class the entire time. The whales were very active the morning we ventured out into the bay so we were able to see multiple groups of mommas and calfs. I liked the size of the boat as it felt like we were closer to the water. I highly recommend this excursion.

Check in girl was rude, non professional, and a thief! L - This experience would have been 5 Stars if it wasn’t for the check in girl who was very rude, unprofessional, and did not give me back the proper change, stiffing us 100 pesos! We loved Benjamin and Pirate Captain who put us on the whales. Bengi was so knowledgeable and hilarious!
