Private Boat Tour to Yelapa and Majahuitas Snorkel (up to 7 guests)

This private boat tour for up to 7 guests explores two places on Banderas Bay that are reached by water: Majahuitas and the fishing village of Yelapa. The outing is designed as a customizable private trip, and the itinerary lists about 300 minutes in total. It is operated by local people who say they have more than 15 years in the tourism industry, with a bilingual guide on board.

You travel in a 23-foot boat with shade, accompanied by a captain and a bilingual guide. The first stop offers the option of snorkeling either at this spot or at Majahuitas. The guide's own favorite is Majahuitas, because it is usually less crowded. Sanitized snorkel gear is provided, along with a cooler with ice, and every passenger receives a life jacket.

At Majahuitas you spend around 40 minutes snorkeling in the clear water of the beach. The trip then continues to Yelapa, where the itinerary allows about 180 minutes. You can enjoy white sand and calm water there, and have lunch at the beach restaurants if you wish. Food is not included, so plan to pay for it separately.

The last part of the day is a walk with the guide through the town to reach a waterfall hidden inside the fishing village, in the itinerary about 60 minutes. The hike to the waterfall is part of the price. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, though the tour is described as suitable for all physical fitness levels.

Because the boat is private, the operator says it can be adapted to your needs, which suits families, friends or colleagues traveling together. Transportation to the meeting place is not included, nor are food, drinks, snacks or the guide's tip. The listing does not state a meeting point, so confirm it at booking. Public transportation options are available nearby.
