Tour Summary

While visiting the glamorous and gorgeous region of sunny, sub-tropical Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, take some time to get to know the fun and frolicsome family of sea lions that are at home in our center here. These highly intelligent animals that are full of robust energy and a spirit of comedy will delight you and you will certainly find them very intriguing as you watch them play around in our carefully controlled environment. Most of all, sea lions love people and take a particular pleasure in sporting with our guests in a variety of amusing and unexpected ways.

This particular tour gives you and your family or friends the chance to learn about our sea lion family first hand in a shallow wading pool. While you stand in water that only comes up about to your waist you will see exactly just what all these creatures can do and be delighted by what all you see. You will be enchanted as they swim into the pool and prance about you, performing their numerous tricks and feats. They have an excellent and mischievous sense of humor, but are also very friendly and love to touch and cuddle and even occasionally to kiss humans.

I have been to the Bahamas many times, but Vallarta Sea Lion Encounter is one of my favorite trips! It includes everything that everyone should do here. As a Bahamas veteran, I can say only the best about this experience!

Thanks to the professional guides! I was a bit worried about kayaking because I had never done it before, but the instructions were great and I had such a good time!
