Puerto Escondido Whale and Dolphin Watching
Day Trip Details
We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Escondido at the scheduled time and head to the main bay, where we’ll board the boat. Are you ready to explore the Pacific Ocean and spot its amazing wildlife? Let’s set sail!
As we move away from the coast, we’ll begin searching for the fascinating creatures that inhabit these waters off the coast of Oaxaca. During the trip, you might see playful dolphins swimming alongside the boat, turtles gliding on the surface, manta rays beneath the waves, and colorful fish darting around while seabirds soar above.
The highlight of the day will be the whales, which migrate through these waters every year. Seeing them breach and splash is an unforgettable sight, powerful, graceful, and truly awe-inspiring.
Throughout this 3.5-4 hour journey, your guide will share interesting facts about each species and provide materials to help you identify them. You’ll also have water and soft drinks on board to keep you refreshed.
After the boat ride, we’ll return to the dock and then take you back to your hotel, ending a 5 to 5.5 hour experience.
