If you are in Puerto Vallarta between the months of December and March, you can enjoy unforgettable whale sightings while accompanied by certified tour operators who know how to approach them.
The humpback whale is one of the largest species of whale that currently exist in the world. Adults can grow to between 12 and 16 meters long and weigh up to 36,000 kilos. Despite its massive size, these acrobatic whales often jump, otherwise known as breaching, high up over the sea’s surface only to crash back down creating an exciting spectacle for observers.
Depending on the climate, these animals can travel up to 25,000 kilometers per year. During the summer, they prefer polar regions, while during the winter season they are attracted to more tropical regions such as our lovely Banderas Bay.
A humpback whale’s gestation phase lasts around 11 months, and when they visit the Mexican coast often they are searching for mates. Pregnant mothers give birth often almost as soon as they arrive so that by the time they go north, the calf is big and strong enough to withstand the long journey.
If you are in Puerto Vallarta between the months of December and March, you can enjoy unforgettable whale sightings while accompanied by certified tour operators who know how to approach them without disturbing or interrupting their natural behavior. With a little luck, you may also see all kinds of other sea creatures such as dolphins, manta rays, turtles and even an Orca whale on occasion.
