Join us to experience respectful encounters with the Humpback whales, dolphins and other pelagic marine species that call Banderas Bay home with our Respectful Whale Watching Expedition Benefiting Local Charities.
Deep Blue Conservancy teams up with Ocean Friendly Tours for this event to benefit Canica Puerto Vallarta (Children with Cancer) and our local library, Los Mangos Biblioteca.
Los Mangos Biblioteca is a true and vital "community center" and provides local culture, books, movies and specialized programs for the people of Puerto Vallarta. The new Children's Library (Esquina de Sally) promises to bring even more children through the Los Mangos doors. Tour date to benefit Los Mangos Biblioteca is February 18, 2012.
Canica is a non-profit organization devoted to providing much needed medical treatment and social services to the children of Vallarta affected with cancer who otherwise might not be able to receive these types of services. Please view the video here to see the faces of those benefiting from the services provided by Canica. Tour dates to benefit Canaca are March 4 and March 19, 2012.
These charity cruises will be led by a marine scientist and specialized bilingual crew.
The official whale watching season in Puerto Vallarta runs from December 8th through March 23rd.
Discover the marvels of the whale world on board the customized fiberglass boats and listen to their tonal songs with our hydrophone and speaker system.
