How's the bay right now?

Real-time local time, weather and swell for Banderas Bay, straight from Open-Meteo. Read it like a captain would: calm water means a smooth ride, snorkel and swimming.

Real reviews from our TripAdvisor profile

Go check every single one.

We saw tons of whales up close, explored Los Arcos, and stopped at two secluded beaches that felt like paradise.
EErica S.TripAdvisor · Whale watching tour
Brandon and his crew took amazing care of our group on a 6 hour boat tour… the entire crew was very attentive, friendly.
CCharles B.TripAdvisor · Custom private tour
It didn't feel like a typical tour, it felt made just for us… they made our celebration extra special.
EEliana T.TripAdvisor · Celebration trip
Brandon, Milo and Ulysses gave us a day to remember! We were lucky enough to be on the boat during whale season and saw dozens of whales throughout the day.
CChloe R.TripAdvisor · Bachelorette trip
The boat was nice and fit our entire party (15) comfortably. Brandon stopped so we could access the beach for a swim which was really fun.
TTom M.TripAdvisor · Group of 15
We rented a boat from Brandon for multiple occasions — my birthday, my sister's birthday and some of my friends' — and it's always an amazing experience.
