Whale Watch Training Program Complete and Whales Are Hopping

The Whales of Guerrero just completed our sixth (!) annual safe whale watch training class with captains from Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa. This is a two-day intensive training for captains who conduct marine ecotourism. They learn A LOT about whale and dolphin behavior, biology and best boat practices for whale watching in the classroom then we take it onto the sea to practice together. Every year, new people join us and others come back for a refresher. The course has become an important bonding opportunity for the guides to deepen friendships and strengthen trust, so when we're all out there with the whales we can work beautifully together.

The whales were GORGEOUS for our group on Wednesday. (Must have been all the good juju onboard.) Competitive groups, synchronized fluking and great visibility. If you're down here, NOW is the time to come out! Here's the list of guides who completed the full program in 2019. Book with them for the best chance to spot whales and for the best possible experience on the water!

Those of you who help us keep this work going, thanks for your support in helping to make this program possible! Those of you who haven't heard of us, come hang out and get involved! We're whaley whaley fun

Happy Whale Season!

Good stuff, Katherina! Thank you for what you do and for letting us know. I've spoken with many captains and tour guides and all are interested in what you're doing. Many have taken your instructive courses and are hopeful interest will pick up with locals and visitors to charter more whale watching tours.

¡Gracias y saludos!

Thanks for your support and encouragement, Rob! I feel lucky every day that I get to work with such excellent people. The culture of respect and appreciation that our group of trained guides has around the whales is incredible and it is showing - the whales are nice and relaxed around the boats and our spotting network works very well for finding whales and working well together. Long may it continue!

We got to see her in action today. What a personally and the love of whales comes through. We were lucky she was on tour.
