Yelapa like it's meant to be done! This no frills, wind in your hair Yelapa excursion will have you grinning from ear to ear. Why no frills? It's not a fancy yacht or a wine and cheese affair. It's a typical Mexican speedboat (panga) and it's you in touch with nature, the water, and everything around you on this sweet and fun Puerto Vallarta Yelapa tour.
Most Yelapa tours in Puerto Vallarta depart from Los Peines in Marina Vallarta. Our Private Yelapa excursion also gives you the choice of departing from Los Muertos pier. Once safely aboard, we'll get started immediately on catching our lunch! We said no frills and we meant it amigo! We'll drag two lines behind the boat; the fishing is spectacular here, and the chances are really good of catching something delicious.
Dense cityscape melts into steamy jungle as we move further south, slowing everything down at Los Arcos. These rock formations are even more beautiful up close, and we'll explore the caves, foliage, and bountiful wildlife as we slowly float by. We're still at the start of this unforgettable Yelapa experience!
Continuing past Boca de Tomatlan, Las Animas, and Quimixto, we'll hang out for a bit at Majahuitas. Slide right off the boat and into the crystal blue waters for a quick dip, or grab a mask and fins and explore further. The snorkeling in Majahuitas is great.
Last stop Yelapa! If we caught a fish, we know a great restaurant with the best chef. And if we didn't catch a fish, we still know a great restaurant with the best chef! This is one of those Puerto Vallarta tours that really offers a local feel. By this time in the day, it will be amazing to hang out on the beach with a cold cerveza and some of the folks who call this place home. Care for a hike? The waterfall is nearby and just a short hike through the village which is in itself a cultural experience like no other.
Sunned and salted, we'll pour ourselves back into the panga when the time is right. One more chance to soak up that stunning PV shoreline. The return trip from Yelapa to Puerto Vallarta is just as beautiful as you remember from the beginning of your amazing day.
Among all the fun, authentic, easy, laid back things to do in Puerto Vallarta, this Private Yelapa tour is an absolute must. Don't miss it! Grab your friends and book your private Yelapa adventure today!
