The tour begins at 6:00 a.m. with hotel pickups in Máncora, Pocitas, and Vichayito (up to the Aranwa Hotel).
We will then take you to our «Manuel» beach house, located just before the Máncora pier. There, we will provide necessary tour instructions before heading to the end of the Máncora pier to board a shuttle boat that takes us to our two-story catamaran yacht. Once aboard, we will set out in search of humpback whales, cruising along the beaches of Máncora, Pocitas, Vichayito, or Órganos (depending on the whales’ movements). Upon locating a whale, we will observe it from a safe distance for approximately 45 minutes and use a hydrophone to listen to them. Afterward, we will return to the Máncora pier to swim with sea turtles and take photos or videos with them. Note: Snorkel masks are available for an additional fee of 10 soles. To finish, we will enjoy ceviche on board before returning to our office at Casa Manuel.
