About this trip

Disfruta de una experiencia única en el mar observando ballenas y degustando una fina selección de vinos a bordo de un cómodo catamaran. 


La experiencia

A bordo, nuestro equipo de especialistas en vida marina guiará tu aventura en busca de las espectaculares ballenas jorobadas y te compartirá algunos de los aspectos más fascinantes de la vida de estos gigantes marinos. 


Durante el viaje, disfrutarás además de un cafecito mañanero primero y luego viene lo bueno: una fina selección de tres vinos  y un delicioso bocadillo. 


¡Una experiencia de ONCA EXPLORACIONES Y CONTRABARRA! 


Las ballenas jorobadas son animales libres en su hábitat natural,  sobre los cuales no tenemos control, por lo tanto no podemos garantizar al 100% su avistamiento. Sin embargo, Onca Exploraciones cuentan con 14 años de experiencia en esta actividad. La temporada de observación de ballenas termina el 31 de marzo, por lo que conforme nos acerquemos a esa fecha las probabilidades pueden disminuir. Bajo esta aclaración, un avistamiento no exitoso de ballenas no equivale a reembolso.  

Recomendaciones

Llevar cámara, gorra o sombrero, chamarra ligera o rompe vientos, lentes de sol, bloqueador solar (biodegradable de preferencia). Si usted ha sufrido de mareo por movimiento anteriormente, tome sus precauciones. No se permite el ingreso de bebidas alcohólicas. 

Política de cancelación

Para obtener un reembolso del 50% de tu pago, se requiere cancelar con más de 24 horas de anticipación. Cualquier cancelación en un margen de 24 horas o menor no aplica reembolso. En caso de cancelación por parte de la empresa por causas de fuerza mayor su viaje puede ser reprogramado o se garantiza un reembolso el 100% de su pago o depósito.

We could not have been happier with our experience. We did not see a humpback whale, but we heard them singing with the underwater microphone and then had an unexpected experience when we got to see a Bryde's whale instead. Larger than the humpback! It is always a gamble you will not see anything especially late in the season, but on this day, we did! Crew was wonderful and made our trip one we won't forget.

Our guide Oscar did a great job organizing this trip and accompanied us during the tour. The local guide Don Santos was able to find all of the birds (including the Tufted Jays) that we wanted to see and more. The cabin is rustic but comfortable and quiet. We were happy to meet Don Santos' family at their home in El Palmito where his wife prepared and served us our meals. Overall recommended for those who would like to make the trip to see the Tufted Jays while lettings others take care of the logistics, while also supporting the people and community that are working to protect this vital habitat. Thanks to everyone involved!

Ciro was absolutely fantastic as our guide! We saw so many humpback whales including moms with calves and several breaches. They were very respectful of the whales while piloting the boat too. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Mazatlán at the end of whale watching season!

We enjoyed the excursion, the staff were wonderful and shared a lot of very interesting facts. We were disappointed we didn’t see any whales, however, we understand our date was pretty late in the season. We’ll try again with ONCA in the future.

This was such a great experience and definitely a highlight of our week in Mazatlán. Communication was excellent throughout the booking process as I had to make a couple of changes to our original reservation. Oscar was our guide and it's evident how passionate he is about oceanography and marine research. He is extremely well educated in these topics and his passion was contagious. We saw a massive pod of about 50 dolphins! Then, after looking and looking for the whales for some time, we made a quick haul about 4 miles offshore and found a pod of 6. It was so spectacular to see them up so close! The rough boat ride (it was quite windy that day) was totally worth it. We stayed with them for quite some time and I never got the sense that Oscar and the other gentleman on the boat with him were just trying to check off a box and get back to the marina. Super, super cool. I loved that you go out on a smaller boat because that means fewer people. There were only 8-10 customers on the boat. Our family of 6 sat up front, another couple sat on the bench in front of the captain, and 2 people in the back. I loved being in the front, although the smaller boat experience may not be for those who get seasick easily, especially if the water is rough that day. So just know that going in. It didn't bother me one bit, but I know it does for some. Highly recommend this company! Go for it!
