We will be cruising in the bay, looking for resident pods of bottlenose dolohins. The guide will give you as much info as needed. Once behavior has been assessed, we will get into the water to have the dolohins leasing the way. It's rgeur choice, we don't feed them, nor push them to do anything they don't want to. It's in and out of the water as many times as possible to have more chances of getting a better interaction We will have lunch and then return to land

Swimming with Wild Dolphins

5.00If you are visiting Puerto Vallarta, book this tour. It was an amazing experience. My husband, teenage son and I went out for a morning private tour with Talia and Captain Angel. Thalia’s connection with the wild dolphins is incredible — she has known them for many years, understands their behavior, and clearly cares deeply about them. The dolphins know her too! Her passion made the experience even more meaningful. Multiple times, we were able to get into the water while the dolphins swam all around us. It was amazing. The boat was very nice - comfortable, plenty of shade and even a bathroom on board. Thalia brought snacks, sandwiches and water for us. It was a beautiful and unforgettable morning on the bay - I HIGHLY recommend this experience. Whether you are in Puerto Vallarta for a week or just visiting on a cruise, this tour is absolutely worth it.
Highlight of our week!

5.00Thalia is incredibly knowledgeable. We learned a great deal about dolphins and whales. Capt. Angel got us out into the bay where we found the dolphins and got to jump in the water where they were swimming. Amazing! This was the highlight of the trip! The turkey sandwiches on the boat—best Thanksgiving we could ask for. Definitely recommend this tour.
Magical Experience

5.00Absolutely incredible experience. We saw dolphins continuously for nearly three hours. We swam with them several times. Our guide, Talia, knows these dolphins so well and provided an educational and surreal experience. She is the real deal marine biologist and it is very evident that the dolphins know and trust her. They follow her boat and were so curious and playful. She was also great with kids (10 & 7) and helped make them feel comfortable and enjoy every minute. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend!

5.00This excursion was the highlight of our trip. The guide and captain were wonderful and very knowledgeable. Ypu can tell that they love what they do. There were so many dolphins. They would swim under and around us. This is the second tour we have done with Vallarta Natours and we will definitely be back for another in the future. Highly recommend!!

5.00We spent a magical half day swimming with dolphins and watching whales. Thalia was so knowledgeable and made sure the best interests of the animals always came first. This experience was a highlight of our time in Puerto Vallarta. I can't recommend it more highly!
Never ever support dolphins in captivity - DO THIS WILD ENCOUNTER!

5.00Our private excursion with Thalia & Angel to search/find/encounter wild dolphins was absolutely incredible. Honestly, we were a little hesitant because we did not want to negatively influence the dolphins in any way. We have done snorkeling & whale watching with Natours in the past so I knew if we were ever going to experience wild dolphins, we had to do it with them - they are so respectful, compassionate, knowledgeable and safe. Thalia makes it absolutely clear that the dolphins come to US if they want and if they don’t want to, that’s the way it is. But the dolphins were inquisitive and independent. We learned so much about dolphin behavior and communication. We left the boat loving the sea - and Thalia & Angel - even more than when we got on. Every facet of the trip was fabulous, clean, safe, delicious lunch, comfortable accommodations (even for my older parents) and they took great photos to share with us. THIS is the only way to experience wild dolphins; totally worth the investment of money & time!
Excellent private excursion

5.00Thalia and Angel provided such a wonderful experience that I am ready to go again. We arranged a private excursion as we were arriving on a cruise ship. The 3 of us had multiple opportunities to swim and interact with some juvenile dolphins that are part of a pod who's territory is on the north side of the bay. This would be a great excursion for active adults as well as older children and teens. We also saw whales, manta rays and did some fantastic snorkeling. Thalia provided lots of information about the bay and its inhabitants. Totally enjoyable day.

5.00There is pizza everywhere and then there is the really good pizza that compels you to close your eyes and moan a little as it does its thing to your brain. Thats is how I will describe the excursion with Thalia and her team. I have been on 6 rides so far since last year and I could never have enough. She has created this wonderful relationship with the dolphins where they let her know when its okay to jump into the water and play with them. Her in depth insight of the marine life is a joy to soak in.
Amazing experience!!

5.00Once in a lifetime experience of swimming with the dolphins and what made it extra awesome was Thalia. She is extremely passionate about what she does, very knowledgeable and shares valuable information about Dolphins. She made the entire experience fun and has a very friendly personality. She even helped my sister overcome her fear of the water by getting her to jump in and staying by her side the whole time we snorkeled. I highly recommend her tour. Thank you Thalia for this wonderful experience.
