We 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!

Our 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!

Thalia 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.
