We are Ocean Friendly Tours and have been working very hard to get ready for our returning and new guests for the 2015-2016 Whale Watching season here on Banderas Bay.

We have worked tirelessly season after season with Mexican authorities to extend the beginning of the Humpback whale and researching season and have finally succeeded in one of their most important goals in assisting to manage the population.

This extension of one week at the beginning of the season was finally granted for the 2015-2016 season and it will now run from December 1st through March 23rd annually.

This year Ocean Friendly Tours was privileged to be designated and recognized as one of TripAdvisor’s Top 10 Great Wildlife Tours in the World and the #1 Whale Watching Tour in the World and inducted into TripAdvisor’s Hall of Fame for Excellence in 2015!

Ocean Friendly Tours offers daily and customized tours to discover the realm of whales, dolphins and other species on the enormous bay off Puerto Vallarta, México. All tours are led by a bilingual marine scientist, naturalists and a specialized safety trained crew.

If you, your family or visitors would like to see the whales up close and personal and participate with us in our research, Humpback whale and tour options are available at Ocean Friendly Tours.

We look forward to welcoming you on board and updating you as the season moves forward.
