A private boat and crew to watch humpback whales in Banderas Bay during their real winter season.
A private whale-watching tour with your own boat and crew in Banderas Bay, during the real December-to-March humpback whale season.
Private tours provide personalized attention with your own boat and crew, rather than sharing a scheduled departure with strangers. Humpback whales migrate into Banderas Bay to breed and calve roughly from mid-December through late March, and this private tour is timed to that real seasonal window — outside those months, whale sightings aren't reliably offered.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.

No sharing the deck with unrelated groups.
Scheduled for the genuine December-to-March humpback whale season.

Back to your hotel, home, or the airport — whenever your day wraps up.
A private whale-watching tour with your own boat and crew in Banderas Bay, during the real December-to-March humpback whale season. Private tours provide personalized attention with your own boat and crew, rather than sharing a scheduled departure with strangers. Humpback whales migrate into Banderas Bay to breed and calve roughly from mid-December through late March, and this private tour is timed to that real seasonal window — outside those months, whale sightings aren't reliably offered.
The humpback whales that show up in Banderas Bay each winter are making one of the longest migrations of any mammal on Earth — the same individual whales seen feeding in Alaska's cold, nutrient-rich waters through summer travel roughly 3,000 miles each way to reach Mexico's Pacific coast by winter. Puerto Vallarta's official whale season generally runs from around December 8 through late March, which lines up with this tour's own stated window, with January and February typically offering the most consistent sightings.
Banderas Bay isn't just a stop along the migration route — it's a genuine breeding and calving ground, one of several such nurseries for Pacific humpbacks. The bay's relatively warm, sheltered, deep water gives newly born calves a safer environment than the open ocean, and by March it's common to see mothers swimming alongside their newborns, with the calves visibly working on the swimming and surfacing skills they'll need before the return trip north.
Outside that roughly four-month window, reliable whale sightings genuinely stop — the whales aren't present in the bay the rest of the year, which is why this private tour is scheduled only within the real season rather than year-round. A private boat and crew, rather than a seat on a fixed shared departure, mainly changes how much flexibility there is to follow a pod once whales are spotted, rather than sticking to a scripted route.
