This was an awesome experience! Adventurous, educational and organized. Great tour guide and captain. Snacks, drinks and lunch were provided. Understand it’s not guaranteed that you will get to swim when the dolphins, their wild animals, but you will definitely get to see them. Book now if you’re thinking about!

Cannot recommend this enough. Informative guide, whole organization focused on sustainability, plus WE GOT TO SEE DOLPHINS. I know it's in the name, but really nothing describes the feeling of hearing the dolphin clicks in the water and seeing them examine you as you swim beside them. Truley amazing.

This was an amazing trip. Michael was an amazing guide. We got to swim with dolphins, saw a baby humpback whale breaching the water, snorkled and saw lots of fish, then saw a manta ray, saw a huge pod of spotted dolphins and the baby humpback again. We took our kids and it was definitely a trip to remember and definitely recommend.

We brought our kids (11 and 13) who had two different interests. One really wanted to see dolphins, the other wanted to snorkel. This experience provided the best of both worlds, in a humane experience for the dolphins. We learned so much about these amazing creatures, the tour left a lasting impression on our family and we are glad we did not choose to experience dolphins in captivity. The dolphins chose to swim on past our group in the water, but we were not left disappointed.

Trip was great! Water was really murky though. Saw many dolphins and a few whales. Very educated gal. Captain was great! I'm sure we'll do it again.

Maggie was an incredible guide who taught us so much. The dolphins were more interested in the whales than us but we still got to see a bunch and even got to get in the water and hear the humpbacks “songs”. The snorkeling was amazing as well. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We loved that you could hear the dolphins under water!!!! Christina was amazing and knowledgeable. And it’s awesome having a small group. The lunch is an added bonus. We’re doing it again!

EcoTours Vallarta guide Christina and captain Rafe were great. The classroom slide introduction to dolphins and whales in PV (and their migration patterns) was interesting and informative. Christina gave me a prescription mask, which makes a huge difference to us short-sighted folks. We had excellent views of dolphins and whales swimming together but because the dolphins were so close to the whales, we did not swim with them. The water conditions were not perfect for snorkelling due to chop and red tide but the guides found an alternate spot. I brought a fleece pullover and it was perfect after being in the water, as were the sandwiches and granola bars! The guides stopped the boat on the way back so we could watch the Papantla Bird-Men on the Malećon from the water. It was an awesome perspective.
