At sunrise, we'll take a boat ride along the coast of Mancora to watch humpback whales. We'll also enjoy an unforgettable swim with sea turtles!
Mancora Whale Watching + Swimming with Turtles
We'll pick you up at 6 am at your hotel in Mancora and head to the town's pier. There, we'll board a catamaran that will allow us to sail at dawn through one of the most beautiful areas of the northern coast of Peru.
While we're sailing, we'll try to spot the enormous humpback whales that usually move through these waters between July and October to reproduce before returning to Antarctica. We might also have a chance to see other marine animals, such as dolphins or sea lions!
After admiring these beautiful animals, we'll dive into the waters of the Pacific Ocean to enjoy an unforgettable swim with sea turtles. If you don't make any sudden movements, you'll be able to swim very closely to these reptiles that can grow up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) in width!
Finally, we'll return to the boat to enjoy music on board. You can also bring your own drinks and food to enjoy on the deck of the boat. We'll dock back at the pier, and from there, we'll take you back to your hotel in Mancora, arriving between 10:30 and 11 am.
Animal watching
The coast of Mancora is one of the best places on the northern coast of Peru to see humpback whales and sea turtles. However, the animals are unpredictable. The sighting of a greater or lesser number of the animals will depend on various factors, such as the weather at the time or the reproduction and breeding seasons of the different species.
