We took a half day tour with Oscar, Jorge and Chui last month while in Puerto Vallarta. We knew it was too late for whales, but we got to see dolphins, sea turtles, mantas, angel fish, blue footed boobies, frigate birds, baby pelicans and iguanas. In fact, the dolphins played around the boat for 20-30 minutes. These guys worked all... More

We had a wonderful private tour with diving and snorkeling with Oscar & his crew. We were able to see hump back whales & dolphins and learned a great deal about the wildlife and Bay of Banderas! Great lunch aboard and a definite recommendation for anyone who really appreciates learning and experiencing nature.

We have now been whale watching twice in the past 4 years each time with a different company. Its all about the whales of course...and some dolphins ...sea birds and sometimes rays. We need to be careful of the sun as it is very intense with all the reflections. The coolness of the breezes off the bay dilute the heat... More

We had been on other whale watching trips before but my family and I learned so much more and saw more whales at close range than on any other trip. Thank you Oscar and Keith!

We went on the tour with two children (ages 6 and 8), and couldn't have been more pleased. Oscar and his staff were friendly, entertaining, and extremely knowledgable. We saw an incredible number of whales, and very close to the boat. Oscar taught us about the whales' habits, behavior, migration, mating, etc. It was a pleasure to take a tour... More

Though I travel a lot, I've never left a TripAdvisor review (sorry!). However, our experience with Ocean Friendly was so fantastic that, here I am. In addition to seeing whales constantly throughout the day, we were continuously educated about the whales by Keith. He is kind and knowledgeable, and he knows what he's doing because he's researched humpbacks for years--he... More

We went on a whale watching tour with Oskar on March 22nd, the second to last day of the whale watching season. Even at the end of the season, we saw so many whales that I lost count. Although not as many whales breached near the boat as the stories I have heard from January and February, it was an... More

I have had the good fortune of going on whale watching tours in Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska. This was BY FAR the best tour that I have been on. Ozkar is so informative and his enthusiasm is infectious!! We had the good fortune of seeing many whales, dolphins, turtles, manta rays and lots of birds. My husband was a little... More

AMAZING! Seriously, what else can I say. This was my first time experiencing whale watching and it was the most amazing, thrilling and I would even say, spiritual experience. First of all, as countless others have said, Oscar and his amazing crew, are whale whisperers. The information given to us before the tour was astounding. I know that he has... More
