Highly recommended tour and operator!

The whole experience was amazing! We got lucky with the weather and the whale’s sightings. The tour is very personalized but we still had the chance to meet very nice people. Food was good and most importantly, our guide Marcela was incredible, very kind and with the best energy.

An Unforgettable Whale Watching Experience

We had an amazing humpback whale watching tour with Diana Marcela Núñez. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and passionate throughout the experience. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the trip both fun and memorable, and she made sure everyone felt comfortable. Seeing the whales was unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience. Recommended. A great plan in Colombia, the country of beauty

Excellent, great experience. It's too bad it's not like in the videos that whales jump and look close but no. They look far away and very few. But regardless of that, 10 out of 10, very nice experience, and hopefully they can improve the issue of trash in Juanchacho. It would be good to add to the experience that tourists take garbage in bags from the island and that it is Buenaventura that supports its management. Thank you.

Operator response

Gracias por haber vivido la experiencia del Pacifico con nosotros. Gracias por las ideas, aunque todos los años hacemos voluntariados para el tema de las basuras ya no es un problema de Juanchaco si no de muchas partes de Colombia donde los ríos desembocan en el mar del Pacifico.

All right.

Highly recommended. We saw several whales and a whalehouse. The guide, Marcela Núñez, a charmer, would not have been the same without her. An experience of 10.

Whale watching

Awesome experience. We saw several whales, I didn't think it would be possible to see them so close. Super recommended the tour, we felt very taken care of at all times by Marcela, Andrés and the team and explained everything. We are very grateful

A magical experience

I went with my brother without knowing that we were going to meet, we were tourists in our own country and the experience was wonderful, it is something indescribable and all thanks to the attention of Valley Adventours, especially to Karina who knows everything like the back of her hand, Captain Willy and his assistants Felipe and Nico and culminate the experience with the delicious seasoning of Dona Fanny in the restaurant Yenny. We will certainly return

Operator response

El Avistamiento de Ballenas no es todo el año y afortunadamente tuvieron la oportunidad de estar aquí para vivir esta maravillosa experiencia con nosotros. Fue un placer tenerlos con nosotros y esperamos vuelvan a vivir más experiencias como estas. Gracias

Amazing experience

The whole trip was very well organized by Valley Adventours. Karina, our guide, was very lovely. She took good care of us - and especially of our daughter, who was the only kid in our group. We saw so many humpback whales! It was amazing! Lunch was also very good! But prepared it's a very long day - and traffic can be a nightmare.

Operator response

In Valle del Cauca and Cali we are fortunate to have the privilege of seeing these mammals so close and in their natural habitat. It was a pleasure to take you on this day adventure to see humpback whales.
