Fun and relaxing full day activity on the boat with family - Thank you for wonderful time we spent together as family with big kids on the boat!
Upon arriving to the port entry you will need to enter and proceed straight to the info desk and make a left - you will see workers who help to guide people to the right boat company ( there were about 4 boat companies working on our day ) Don't be distracted by "helpers" at the entrance. The day was beautiful and ocean was calm and everything was as good as expected and better. Only one suggestion for snorkeling part is to help snorkeling folks to adjust their gear in advance to arrival to snorkeling spot ( so they don't loose their precious time and enjoy fully snorkeling ) Overall it was fun experience and we would recommend it to other folks ( we left good tip to the crew in the end in appreciation of excellent work they all done )

Very nice trip for an entire day - Loved this tour! The people over the excursion was so nice. I enjoyed the activities at Majahuitas the water was sooo beautiful. Yelapa was nice as well I would recommend taking the atvs if you want to fully enjoy the waterfall but you can also hike as well. We finished off by enjoying the beach and the lunch that was provided. I would definitely do this again.

Great experience! - We loved the whole experience. The lines to pay your resort fees were very long and were a little rushed getting to the boat. However the line was fast. (arrive earlier than 930). The boat was great, food was amazing. Just be prepared if you get seasick as you feel it more on a small boat vs a cruise. First stop was fun, however felt short when doing kayaking, paddling or snorkeling. You were only able to choose one. It’s also not close to the sand so you’re only able to stay near the boat. Last stop was Yelapas. You get the option to use an atv, horse (you pay extra for atv or horse 550 pesos) or walk to the waterfall. When on the atv the ride seemed very long (they say it’s a 15min on horse or atv and 40min walking). However we saw ppl who walked get there at the exact same time, they came thru a different entrance which I believe had shortcuts. It is very steep however so if you walk make sure you can do it. The waterfall was beautiful but the area is very small. Still an amazing experience. The boat ride back was the best part. They had games and continue open bar and music. You must have an open mind and not be picky as of course it’s not the fanciest place. You get what you make of it. Great experience overall, we had two adults and one 8year old and everyone had an amazing time. Lastly only thing is, when getting on the transfer boats it has no stairs you must jump into it. You are helped by staff but if you have any disabilities or difficulty just be aware it may be a bit hard and a bit scary. Everyone helped eachother out and we all made it on and off safely but I did see some reviews of that being a complaint. Just be advised so you know what to expect.

Highly recommend! - Awesome day and worth the money for the full day with breakfast and lunch and activities. Yelapa is amazing, definitely visit if you have the chance. Be aware if you are hiking to the waterfall there are some steep inclines, we brought tennis shoes and sandals.

Great day adventure! - The trip was exactly as described, staff were very helpful and entertaining! Snorkeling was fun and the hire ride through the village was well worth the extra cost.

Not worth the money - #1, if you are arriving to Puerto Vallarta via Carnival Panorama Mexican Rivera, do not book this. Ship Time is 1 hour behind their time. Meeting time of 9:30 is their time. Carnival Panorama arrives into port approx 8:30am Ship time which is 9:30am their time. So when we arrived at what our time was 9:15am it was actually 10:15 am their time and the boat to the island already left. They did manage to get a boat taxi to take us to the boat but by that time we missed the breakfast, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
#2, there is no docks in Yelepa so you literally have to get into a smaller boat and then jump out of that boat onto the beach as the waves are slamming into the boat. Then you have to climb back in the tender boat to get back to the main boat
#3 The locals there are very pushy. Walking right up to while you're trying to relax in your beach chair with their merchandise trying to get you to buy from them. There was a gentleman with a Iguana named Peppa that brought in up to the restaurant while we were eating and put it on our shoulders for us to take our own pictures with it. Then her told us it would be 250 pesos each. Oh no, I didn't ask for you to put it on me.
#4. Their description says you can walk to the waterfall. But they said no you couldn't. You had to pay more for a horse or an ATV. Then proceeded to tell us that they hadn't had much rain so there wasn't much water so we opted not to go
#5. The 2 hour ride back to the port on the catamaran was the only part of the tour I enjoyed. The tour guide was Alberto. He was great

Ok - Beautiful scenery, Yelapa was fantastic. Wish we had more free time to explore on our own.
Snorkeling was good. Guides were friendly. The beach landing was difficult, and would not be suitable for those with mobility issues.
