Our goal is to provide you with an exciting adventure that you will never forget. We want to ensure that you truly enjoy the incredible humpback whale watching and amazing marine life sightings off the coast of Puerto Lopez.
Join us for an unforgettable whale watching tour in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador!
We offer humpback whale watching in Ecuador with money-back guarantee if you don't see them. From Puerto López, in the heart of Machalilla National Park, you'll experience the most impressive natural spectacle on the Ecuadorian coast.
Humpback whales migrate over 4,300 miles from Antarctica to our warm waters between June and October. These giants measuring up to 52 feet and weighing 30 tons choose Puerto López as their mating and birthing grounds.
During our tour, you'll observe the natural behavior of these majestic cetaceans, possibly with jumps, tail slaps, and mothers with calves. We operate under strict conservation guidelines in collaboration with the Pacific Whale Foundation.
The tour also includes a visit to Salango Island, where you'll enjoy snorkeling in turquoise waters alongside sea lions and turtles, plus a delicious snack on the beach.
