Every year the Riviera Nayarit transforms into the perfect stage for whale watching on the coast of the Mexican Pacific. In fact, whale watching is one of the top tourist attractions in the region starting in mid-December. This incredible phenomenon is one of the most touching experiences you’ll ever encounter in the Riviera Nayarit no matter what your nationality, gender, or age.
These cetaceans visit our coastline every year for two main reasons: to mate and to give birth to their young, because it’s here they find the ideal water temperature and vast amounts of food they require. Those are also the reasons the whale watching tours must be led by specialized guides who not only know the area perfectly well, but they also have the experience required to respect the humpback whales and allow them the space they need. This is what makes eco-tourism possible, with nature allowing us to enjoy this gorgeous display while we humans respect the whales.
There are several tour operators in the Riviera Nayarit offering whale watching tours. In Sayulita you can book one at Rancho Mi Chaparrita, in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle contact Punta Mita Expeditions, from Punta de . . .
