Experience humpback whales in Punta Mita
Can you imagine witnessing a natural spectacle so majestic it feels like a dream? Every year, from November to March, the shores of the Riviera Nayarit become the stage for a magical event: the arrival of humpback whales.
These ocean giants travel thousands of miles from the icy waters of the Arctic to this paradisiacal corner of Mexico to fulfill two vital stages of their lives: mating and giving birth.
If you’ve never experienced something like this, now is your chance to witness it from the luxury and exclusivity that Punta Mita offers.

A perfect refuge: warm weather and calm waters
The Riviera Nayarit is more than just a destination; it’s a natural sanctuary. During migration season, its crystal-clear waters maintain temperatures between 75°F and 82°F (24°C and 28°C), providing the ideal environment for mothers and their newborn calves.
Shallow bays like Bahía de Banderas offer safe havens where calves can develop their swimming skills while staying protected from predators. With over 345 sunny days a year, this paradise guarantees perfect conditions not only for whales but also for those seeking a one-of-a-kind experience.
Imagine enjoying this spectacle from the comfort of a beachfront villa in Punta Mita or on a private tour that combines adventure and luxury.
Natural safety
The unique geography of the Riviera Nayarit plays a key role in attracting whales. Its protected bays and gentle currents minimize the risks of attacks from predators like orcas, which prefer deeper waters. Here, mother whales teach their calves to swim, breathe, and survive in an environment that offers them absolute tranquility.
As a visitor, you’ll have access to private tours in Punta Mita, where expert guides will lead you to these intimate moments of marine life while you enjoy the comfort and exclusivity that define this destination.
