Whale Watching

Are the whales still migrating? The Picante has suspended their trips, but Dive Zihuatanejo is still running. Anyone have any info? Is it worth the money?
Thanks!

Lots of whales in the area yet.

No one can guarantee you will see whales or dolphins or sea turtles or even catch fish. You just have to take your chances.

I suspect water temps have a lot to do with their presence, and the water along our coast has only recently began to cool according to the info on my WEATHER page. Recent sightings of humpback whales in front of Ixtapa yesterday suggest now is a good time to go whalewatching.

Dive Zihuatanejo has been doing a lot of whale watching trips and said they have seen LOTS of whales every single time!!! Definitely worth it (you could also arrange a snorkel trip and probably see whales on the way). There are even killer whales out there now - seen from Barra.

Give Maude a call at Dive Zihua, she's wonderful!

We saw three last Saturday. Two between playa Manzanillo and Los Moros (those big white rocks across from Barra de Potosi) and one between playa Manzanillo and the Piedra Solitaria (that big rock near the mouth of the bay). Haven't been out in the boat this week yet.
