We held little hope for seeing any whales so late in the season. We were wrong. We saw several moms and calves. We saw the many bird species at the island. All and all, the day was such a pleasant outing. We were informed about the whales, the geology of the bay , and learned so much. Oscar and crew,... more

My husband and I went whale watching with Oscar and Ocean Friendly on March 7th. It was our absolute favorite thing we did in Puerto Vallarta. Oscar and the crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. Oscar's passion for the whales and their conservation was evident in the way he spoke about the lovely creatures. I'm a nervous boat-rider and I... more

We recently took Oscar Frey's whale watching tour on February 26th. This was definitely the high light of our trip to Puerto Vallarta. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to see whales. I truly believe that Oscar was the perfect "host" for this adventure. He is passionate about the whales and shows them the respect they deserve. If... more

We went out with Oscar Frey's group on a day they had booked alot of people. We ended up in boat 2 - not with Oscar - at first we were disappointed but it turned out sensationally. There were 8 plus 2 crew on our boat. The crew were knowledgeable, helpful and very patient. We heard whales, saw whales and... more

I personally had the opportunity to take the whale/bird watching tour with Oskar Frey and company on Friday 2/27. WOW. Others in the group I visit PV with were on a different tour and I will tell you I certainly went on the better adventure. Oskar and his crew are far and above more knowledgeable, accommodating and competent than I... more

We spent a day with Oscar Frey and his crew watching whales. It was the highlight of our trip in PV. Oscar was highly knowledgeable and passionate about the whales. He was a wonderful teacher and spoke English very well. Everyone on the trip felt that they had learned a lot. Lunch was included. We saw a number of whales... more

My wife and i took a whale watching trip on January 27th with Oscar, and his whale watching friend Keith May. It becomes VERY obvious from the start that Oscar shares a deep passion for whale watching. It also becomes VERY obvious that other whale watchers know of this passion because, as we all noticed shortly into our trip, others... more

On Jan 15th and again on Jan 18th my wife and I experienced the best day trip in PV while whale watching with Oscar Frey. Oscar's enthusiasm in infectious, and he and his crew's knowledge make for an extraordinary day of excitement, learning, and viewing. The whales, dolphins, turtles and birds did more then hold up their end of the... more

We were in Puerto Vallarta in early December 2008 and took a whale watching tour with Ocean Friendly. It was amazing. Everything the previous reviewer says is absolutely true and I really do not need to reiterate what they said so completely. Prior to taking this tour, I figured this was a "once in a lifetime". You know, check 'whale... more

We went out whale watching today, with a company called Ocean Friendly. Let me preface this post by saying that I am VERY particular about the tour companies I use – I won’t contribute my hard earned dollars to those companies that operate irresponsibly, that damage the environment, or that don’t enjoy the experience as much as I do.
