1.Whale Watching Cruise In Puerto Vallarta & Nuevo Vallarta

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 398 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $99Our pick

Puerto Vallarta whale watching on a catamaran with breakfast, buffet lunch, and open bar, plus Banderas Bay close sightings.

“Our boat was slightly delayed clearing the gangway (25 minutes). We contacted Mikes Fishing and told them, they said when you get off head right to the pier, which we did and they were GONE. they are denying us a refund because it wasn’t their fault. (Wasn’t my fault either). Wouldn’t use Viator or Mike’s fishing ever again. Save $20, but lost $200. Total ripoff. I can understand I didn’t make the boat, but to not offer my money back or a future credit makes the nickels worth of savings not worth it. Lesson learned.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 78 reviews · 30 minutes to 1 hour (approx.) · from $210

Private Puerto Vallarta photo session with Tania Melissa Photography. Quick beach stops at Nuevo Nayarit and Playa del Holi for families and couples.

“I looked at several different photographers before deciding to go with Tania. Zero regrets! She was amazing - professional, creative, and great with our family. Also, we appreciated that she was able to come directly to our hotel. We were looking for someone who could capture our extended family reunion (16 people ranging in age from 12 to 80). We booked the premium package with an 830 morning shoot. The pictures turned out beautifully. All five families were so pleased with the results. We would 110% recommend Tania.”

4.From Puerto Vallarta/Nuevo Vallarta: Whale Watching Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 26 reviews · 4 hours · from $103

4-hour whale cruise from Puerto Vallarta on a modern catamaran with marine biologists, breakfast, lunch, and an international bar

“We really enjoyed the whale watching cruise! It was very well organized getting through the port and onto the boat. They serve a breakfast snack and lunch which were both very good. The staff was always asking if you wanted a drink and would bring it right to you. And the whales! We saw many whales, some with calves, even some doing fin slaps and breaching. The boats stayed a safe distance away and the marine biologist on board educated us and answered questions. Highly recommend.”

7.Hatteras 42-44′ Classic Yachts in Puerto & Nuevo Vallarta

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 15 reviews · 4 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $860

Private yacht charter in Puerto Vallarta for fishing and snorkeling in Banderas Bay, with gear included, and real chances at whales.

“We paid $1,200 to go deep sea fishing. After an hour cruising across the water, they told us we didn't have any bait. The whole point of the deep sea fishing was to fish. How can you fish without bait? We ended up turning around to go back, once we found out there wasn't any bait. This was a total waste of time and money. DO NOT RECOMMEND or TRUST THIS GROUP! Mike's is TERRIBLE. It is unbelievable how they can get away with things like this. Karma is a BXXXX! It will come back tenfold Mike!”

8.From Puerto & Nuevo Vallarta: ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7 reviews · 2 hours · from $99

ATV through Jalisco’s Sierra Madre, swim at El Salto waterfall, wildlife spotting, and a tequila tasting, with safety-first guides.

“The experience itself was awesome. The guides were fun and careful. Safety first. I would have put 5 stars, but when we arrived at our pick up location/paid for time/reservation 9:00 am, they didn’t have us for 9:00 and wouldn’t take us at that time. Said we had to come back at 11:50. We had to go with other groups. So, our day was sucked up when I had other things planned for our family. The experience itself was great, outside of the fact that they told us to come back 3 hours later to meet for our pick up. The planning of this and communication/instructions are lacking.”
