Tour to Yelapa and Majahuitas

This full-day tour, about eight hours long, takes you to Yelapa and Majahuitas, two spots on the coast south of Puerto Vallarta that are reached by boat. Yelapa is described as a beach town surrounded by tropical forest, with exotic fauna and a rich variety of plants.

In Yelapa, an easy walk along the beach passes the fishermen's shacks. The operator stresses that the walk lets you enjoy the scenery without having to worry about sand or seawater. The information for the tour is otherwise brief, and it does not give a stop-by-stop schedule.

Majahuitas is where the water activities take place. The package includes snorkeling there, plus kayaks and paddleboards. Lunch is served on the beach, breakfast is included, and the boat has an open bar and a show with music on board.

The tour suits groups and couples who want a full day at sea and on the beach without organizing each part themselves. It is described as suitable for all fitness levels, and infants must sit on an adult's lap. Public transportation options are available nearby.

Not included are the port rate, drinks on the beach, tips, and photos and video, so bring cash for these. The source does not state where the boat leaves from, so check the meeting details on your booking.
