Local whale-watching evangelist Keith May couldn’t be happier. For years he has been working to educate locals and visitors about responsible whale watching through his website www.puertovallartawhalewatching.com, actively participating in online forums and discussion boards, and leading tours himself. The good news is, all his hard work is paying off. As the public learns the importance of booking a tour only through authorized whale-watching agencies (May keeps a constantly updated list on his website), more and more tour providers have found themselves with no choice but to go through the training programs required to become legally sanctioned. “This past season I went on 48 trips, and there was a noticeable change of behavior. By working to educate the public about the importance of choosing responsible and authorized whale-watching tour operators, we have seen more operators legalizing their operations and more boat captains demonstrating much better conduct while in the vicinity of whales.”

Whale-watching season in Banderas Bay runs from early December to late March. Visitwww.puertovallartawhalewatching.com for more information and details.

“Vallarta Lifestyles was the first reliable magazine that emerged in our destination. In fact, up to date is the only publication that we have in Puerto Vallarta that you can be proud of, because if you give it to someone, you know that person will enjoy watching the photos and reading the articles in each of its pages. I consider, that it is the only magazine that prevails in Vallarta · Nayarit as an icon of this genre”.

“Vallarta Lifestyles is a platform that allows us to reach the kind of market that we’re looking for. I think that, since its beginnings, 30 years ago, it has been the best publication of the destination. There’s no doubt that part of our success is for the advertising that we have in the magazine.”

“In a meeting that we had with the magazine’s founder, he told us about his dream of making a quality and luxury publication because he was convinced that Puerto Vallarta needed that. For that reason, we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles since its beginnings. These days, our brand is very well positioned thanks to the strategic distribution of the magazine, as it helps us reach more potential customers which is a great benefit for us.”
