WILD DOLPHIN EXPEDITION & SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS IN THE WILD
The waters of Banderas Bay are home to a variety of marine life. Bottlenose dolphins - famous for their appearances in movies, TV, and water parks - are the most common dolphin species in Puerto Vallarta, although others - such as the spotted and spinner dolphin - can also be found.
Venture with us and watch them play or feed while you learn about the secret life of these intelligent creatures. Swim with dolphins (conditions permitting), use our hydrophone to hear them communicate under water, and see other marine species in a tour that will be the experience of your lifetime.
