Whale watching has been on my "Dreams" list for a long time.

Although we were a bit late in the season to see whales, Oskar and all the men on the boat made this trip the highlight of our visit to Puerto Vallarta. Oskar was SO enthusiastic about the entire journey and all the marine life and birds we viewed. He made it so fun and had an incredible amount of knowledge... More

Took this tour with another woman I met at the pool bar and it was great fun! Food and drinks included as well as entertainment by the crew. We got really close to a lot of whales. More
