Whale Watching in Mancora

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Mancora at the indicated time to go to the pier, where we'll board a boat that will take us out to sea.

If there's one thing Mancora is known for, besides its fabulous beaches, it's its diverse marine life. In this activity, we'll try to spot some of the most common cetaceans of the northern coast of Peru.

As we sail, we'll be on the lookout for bottlenose dolphins or humpback whales, one of the largest species in the world. Did you know that adult humpback whales can reach 52.5 ft (16 meters) in length?

During the summer months, these gigantic cetaceans come to the Peruvian coast to reproduce and can be seen alone or in groups. If we're lucky, we'll be able to see a mother whale with her calves!

You'll have fun admiring the dolphins and whales jumping out of the water. Plus, we might see other marine species such as sea lions and turtles!

Once this 3-hour whale-watching experience is over, we'll return to the port and take you back to your hotel in Mancora.

Whale-watching

The coast of Mancora is one of the best places in Peru to see whales, dolphins, and other species. However, animals are unpredictable. The sighting of a greater or lesser number of animals will depend on various factors such as the weather at the time or the reproduction and breeding seasons of the different species.
