EXCELLENT Based on 1100 reviews Janice G2025-04-10Verified Whales 🐳 Knowledgeable and dedicated people. You will not be disappointed. Oscar even accommodated my Gluten Free Celiac food request at the last minute Thank you Mobile6327662025-03-14Verified Can’t beat this company Going out with Oscar and his great team was awesome as always. We’ve been with Ocean Friendly many times and would not consider any other whale watching tour company. Bruce L2025-03-11Verified Amazement in the Sea. This is my second voyage with Oscar and his crew and we invited family to share our experience. Oscar is so passionate in his finding and identifying whales and he excels in customer satisfaction. We not only saw plenty of whales, we were in the middle of a pod of spotted dolphins and were presented with blue footed bobbies. Even the light lunch was delicious and well thought out. Top notch all the way! jenny26602025-03-10Verified An incredible experience The best part of the trip was Oscar‘s knowledge of whales and his dedication and commitment to environmental protection. He was able to take us to the whales because of his knowledge of their behaviours and his sophisticated technology. As a result, we saw many whales up close and personal and learned a lot in the process. It was an incredible experience. We paid more for the experience then if we had chosen a cheaper company, but knowing that we were helping to keep his research going, and the knowledge that we gained, was well worth the extra cost. Thank you, Oscar and your team. jerry2025-03-01Verified The best in Puerto Vallarta The best whale watching in PV.Environmentally sustainable and most knowledgeable host, Oscar is a real oceanologist and an expert on whale biology and behavior. His thirty years of experience and joy of sharing his love of these amazing creatures is evident. Most highly recommended as demonstrated by my fourth booking this season. Charmaine W2025-02-28Verified The Single Best Experience of Our Trip. Moving and Beautiful. Oscar and his crew were super knowledgeable and friendly and shared their genuine love of these great animals with us. We were able to see baby and Mom playing together, a group of 9 male whales chasing and competing and showing off for one female hoping to be the "one". We experienced the curiosity of a young male who repetitively jumped out of the water alongside our boat to look at us looking at hime. We experienced the moving song of the male whales with Oscar's underwater equipment. It was truly magical and moving and emotional and exhilarating. We are so grateful to Oscar and his crew for making this the most beloved experience of our whole vacation. Don't hesitate to book. Lance T2025-02-24Verified Ocean Friendly Whale Watching Excellence If you’re looking for an amazing, ethical, and truly memorable whale-watching experience, book with Ocean Friendly Tours! Their small-group tours allow for a more personal and comfortable experience, unlike the overcrowded boats of Vallarta Adventures. The crew is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about marine life, providing fascinating insights while ensuring the well-being of the whales.Unlike other companies that crowd the waters and disrespect both the whales and other tours, Ocean Friendly Tours follows proper wildlife viewing guidelines, giving you the chance to observe these incredible creatures in a way that is both responsible and awe-inspiring.I highly recommend them for anyone who wants a respectful, educational, and truly special whale-watching experience in Puerto Vallarta! Philippe Demers2025-02-22Verified Rich cetacean observation experience Multiple groups of whales and dolphins observed with impressive interactions. Interesting guide and competent on-board staff. Kradan O2025-02-21Verified Definitely worth the trip The whole experience was amazing. The whales were beautiful and the knowledge Oscar had made the whole trip so interesting. I appreciate the love this company has for the animals and a desire to help them be around for generations. Neva P2025-02-21Verified Whales and more We saw lots of wildlife: whales, dolphins, sea turtles, booby birds, pelicans and at the dock iguanas filling the iguana tree. The boat size was perfect, giving everyone excellent views, and the staff team (Iza, Alex and Louis) all contributed to the wonderful outing. I learned a lot about humpback whales!
