Owners of Puerto Vallarta real estate are getting ready for a whale of a time. One of the most popular winter-time activities is whale watching, which brings guests face to face with some of the ocean's most fascinating and admirable creatures, the humpback and blue whales.

Puerto Vallarta whale watching tours take guests out to the Pacific Ocean to observe the dozens of Arctic whales that migrate over a thousand miles to the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Being in their natural habitat, the excursions are considered eco-tours and are careful to respect the whales and their space. Even so, guests are still able to come as close as they possibly can to the whales and get a real sense of their behavior out in the wild.

The tours are easily accesible and right on the doorstep of the Puerto Vallarta real estate zone.

A new offer this season from tour operator Puerto Vallarta Whale Watching allows guests to go out on their own private trips. These charters will take up to 25 guests on their very own personalized and customized whale watching experience.

Sara Juarez, a reservations agent for Puerto Vallarta Whale Watching, said, "The private charters allow our customers to fully customize their trip, they can go where they want, when they want, have what they want on board, include snorkeling or whatever they'd like."

Whether you wish to take a private tour or join a group that is already going, the fantastic winter whale watching opportunities represent yet another good reason to invest in Puerto Vallarta real estate.
