    Amazing Experience!

    This was an absolutely amazing experience. We saw TONS of wales during the excursion, far more than we ever expected. Some were breaching right in front of the boat. The boat itself was a lot of fun. Great music, drinks, and a really friendly and fun staff. If you are reading this, book your trip immediately. You will love it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible review! Seeing tons of whales and even watching some breach right in front of the boat is exactly the kind of magical experience that makes these tours so unforgettable. I’m thrilled to hear the wildlife exceeded your expectations! It’s also wonderful to know you enjoyed the music, drinks, and the fun atmosphere onboard. Our crew loves sharing the beauty of Banderas Bay with our guests, and they’ll be delighted to hear they helped make your evening so special. Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation. Hearing “book your trip immediately” is about as strong an endorsement as we could hope for! We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back aboard for another unforgettable adventure. Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner 🌊🐋☀️🎶🍹🚤

    Lots of fun, super relaxing!!

    The chicco crew was awesome! We went on a sunset whalewatching cruise and saw many whales.. they served free drinks the entire cruise. Also a scrumptious plate of guacamole and blue corn chips! Overall a very lovely experience! Only negative thing was the bathrooms were down in the hold below main deck and smelled quite badly.. mostly from lack of air flow down there as they were quite clean.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us for our Sunsets & Whales adventure and for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear you had a relaxing and fun evening on the water and that you were able to see many whales — that’s always such a magical part of the experience in Banderas Bay. It’s great to know the crew helped make the trip special and that you enjoyed the drinks and the guacamole with blue corn chips while watching the sunset. Our team works hard to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, so your kind words about the crew really mean a lot to them. We also appreciate you mentioning the ventilation in the restrooms. Thank you for noting that they were clean — and we will certainly review the airflow situation to ensure everything stays as comfortable as possible for our guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another beautiful evening on the water! Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

    Sunset and Whales spectacular

    Staff were fantastic. Very attentive to all our needs. The boat was super comfortable and the outlook to the Banderas Bay great We saw a very large pod of Dolphins! And a humpback calve put on a show very close to our boat. We also saw numerous other humpbacks

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this spectacular review! Sunset skies, calm water in Banderas Bay, a large pod of dolphins, and a humpback calf putting on a show close to the yacht — that’s the kind of magic we love to deliver. Whale season truly is something special. I’m so happy to hear our crew made you feel well taken care of. Attentive service, a comfortable yacht, and unforgettable wildlife encounters are exactly what we aim for on this experience. Seeing multiple humpbacks in one outing is always a thrill, and when a curious calf decides to perform nearby, it becomes a memory that lasts forever. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back again for another sunset filled with whales and wonder. Warm regards, Gil Drory Owner

    Sunsets and Whales Mega Yachts ALL INCLUSIVE: Puerto Vallarta: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.

    How much does Sunsets and Whales Mega Yachts ALL INCLUSIVE: Puerto Vallarta cost?

    +

    Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sunsets and Whales Mega Yachts ALL INCLUSIVE: Puerto Vallarta take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.

    Is Sunsets and Whales Mega Yachts ALL INCLUSIVE: Puerto Vallarta worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 517 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sunsets and Whales Mega Yachts ALL INCLUSIVE: Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Sunsets and Whales Mega Yachts ALL INCLUSIVE: Puerto Vallarta suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sunsets and Whales Mega Yachts ALL INCLUSIVE: Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Around 181 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sunsets and Whales Mega Yachts ALL INCLUSIVE: Puerto Vallarta start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
