First of all let me say that I love whales, and I was looking for a small boat excursion with a knowledgeable guide. Our tour met both these wishes. We saw a few whales and were heading back in when we stopped by a boat where a whale was playing with them it was fantastic. The boat left and the beautiful male came to our boat, He stayed with us for 20 to 30 minutes, went all around the boat, poked his head out, sprayed us with 'whale snot', was very curious about us as we were about him. The experience was so amazing, thank you to Vallarta Natours.
