Whale Watching Tour – A Gentle Encounter with Greatness
When a whale rises beside you, everything else fades. It’s powerful, quiet, and deeply humbling.
Every winter, the waters of Banderas Bay become a sanctuary for one of the ocean’s most majestic creatures: the humpback whale. On this 4-hour tour aboard Bruna, we invite you to witness their presence in a way that is respectful, meaningful, and truly unforgettable.
Led by certified guides who blend science, local knowledge and storytelling, this is more than just a whale-watching trip — it’s a chance to connect with nature, reflect in silence, and fall in love with the sea all over again.
