Fun Whale watching - It was an amazing experience! We saw some whales, dolphins, and sting rays. The service was exceptional as well as the food and drinks. I will warn you to not sit back completely in the chairs as the boat is moving or you might tip over. Bring plenty of sunscreen too.

Good Time on the Water! - The staff was very attentive. The whales put on a great show! A perfect size boat. Just the right amount of time on the water.

Didn’t disappoint - We sailed out for about an hour full of hope to see a whale, sea was quite choppy at times, I’d recommend long sleeves as wind can be quite cool even though it was a really hot day, drinks were plentiful, food was okay but that’s not really what we’d gone for. Then we saw a whale, fallowed by many more, we saw the mother with her calf and definitely got close enough to see them well, the young were breaching, plenty of time and photo/video opportunities, amazing experience and definitely lived up to expectations.

Whales… and more whales… SOOO MANY WHALES! - Great crew and organization. Very informative and they seemed to really know the individual animals. We did go at the end of season, but that didn’t seem to matter. At one point, I could see a sea turtle a dolphin and a whale all in my sight line. Highly recommend.

Really great. - Incredibly responsive crew, spoke both english and spanish, and the energy on the ship was really fantastic. They were very accommodating, and kept my 6 year old son very entertained, engaged, and happy to be there.

Wonderful resort - I stayed at the Villa del Palmar Flamingos in Nayarit and had the best vacation of my life. We had a 1 bedroom, 2 bath, with a full kitchen and a washer and dryer in the unit. It's close to two supermarkets and is an easy walk to VBucerias. The staff is wonderful. The only complaint I have is the room keys. They are on a ribbon around your wrist and are not removable. They have to be cut off. Very annoying. I will definitely be returning to this resort. Special thanks to the members concierge, Bertha, Lucy, Julio and Lucia

The whales are amazing! - The whale watching was amazing! Amazing animals!! The boat staff was very attentive. The English was a little hard to understand. I felt like the tip jar go around was a lot. Overall enjoyed the experience.

It was ok - This tour was ok. Not great. Not terrible just ok. Compared to other tours I have taken throughout PV. The staff were friendly but not very enthusiastic. Once we departed the bay we were immediately told to eat lunch before the "kitchen" closed. We used the food ticket and got a basket of chips and a burger. We had to go quite a distance to see the whales although the captain was very attentive to them once we found them. You can't really control the whales haha. Anyway, although I had booked an English speaking tour it was mostly in Spanish so i didn't receive as much information as those that speak Spanish well. All and all it was a decent time but I don't know for sure if I would pay the price to go again. Half maybe. Everyone has a different experience. I'm grateful for the trip and friendly staff and that I did get to see whales.
