Set sail from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, aboard the exquisite 46-foot BAR-CO yacht for an unparalleled aquatic adventure through the sparkling waters of Banderas Bay.

Whale watching tours from December through March strategically position you to witness humpbacks breaching and spouting in their winter breeding grounds—a remarkable spectacle you won’t forget. The boat is well equipped with an inclusive bar featuring bottomless margaritas, Pacifico beer, and refreshing sodas, keeping the vibe effortlessly festive.
