Bahia de Banderas Municipality

We will be cruising in the bay, looking for resident pods of bottlenose dolohins. The guide will give you as much info as needed. Once behavior has been assessed, we will get into the water to have the dolohins leasing the way. It's rgeur choice, we don't feed them, nor push them to do anything they don't want to. It's in and out of the water as many times as possible to have more chances of getting a better interactionWe will have lunch and then return to land

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Wild Dolphin Encounter in Puerto Vallarta?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
