Overview

Your adventure begins with a scenic bus ride along Puerto Vallarta’s stunning south coast, where every turn offers breathtaking views. A short water taxi ride then carries you across the bay, filling you with anticipation as you approach the tranquil village of Yelapa. In winter, you may even feel the thrill of spotting majestic whales migrating from Alaska—a memory that will stay with you forever.

In Yelapa you’ll be embraced by the peace and charm of this car‑free haven. Stroll through the heart of the village, visit its history museum, and enjoy a gentle hike to a picturesque waterfall where the sound of rushing water soothes the soul. For lunch, settle into a beachfront café, savoring delicious food while the waves lap at the shore. With one to three hours to relax, swim, or simply bask in the serenity of the beach, you’ll feel refreshed, connected to nature, and deeply relaxed before returning to Puerto Vallarta with unforgettable memories.
