What To Expect
Each winter, the humpbacks migrate from their arctic feeding grounds to breed and rear their young in the sheltered coasts of Banderas Bay.
Relax onboard our catamaran boat to enjoy the panoramic view of the Pacific ocean, as we venture along the bay to watch for these mesmerizing creatures. Take the most striking photography from this unique, sea-level vantage point - a perspective that is a rare privilege in the natural world.
Your expedition is led by a Marine Mammal Expert and is designed to give you a new appreciation of the fascinating wildlife in Banderas Bay.
