Fantastic whale watching in a Mexican resort atmosphere. One of the best kept secrets in whale watching is this superior location. Whales begin arriving in Bahia Banderas in November. But the Mexican government has closed whale watching here until December 15th. This allows the whales time to acclimatize to the area before boats begin coming around them. |

The humpbacks journey from the North Pacific in a 4000 to 6000 mile migration. They come here each year to give birth and to mate. The Bay is a much better location for the humpbacks than off the coast of Hawaii. The water is shallower, warmer and affords better protection from predators. Because the area is smaller than that around the Hawaiian Islands a higher concentration of whales occurs. | |||||||||||||||||||||
