Whalewatching tour: Part 3 - Other sightings


The Kontiki had just started out after picking up thirty plus tourists at Puerto Vallarta when we spotted this cool sea turtle. The turtle was maybe 4-5 feet long and it gave us plenty of photo opportunities as it remained on the surface for a rather long time. Nowadays, spotting a large sea turtle is a rare opportunity because very few of them survive to get to this size. Later, we'll share our excitement with you with our discovery that our resort is only about a half mile from a baby turtle conservation area, another good reason for choosing Nuevo Vallarta over Puerto Vallarta.

On the tour, we also spotted a manta ray though we were unable to get any good photos of it.
