I had a lot of fun seeing... - I had a lot of fun seeing the different beaches. Although the water was a bit murky to see any of the ocean life.

Excellent Tour, Highly Recommended - The catamaran tour to Yelapa and Majahuitas was an incredible experience. From the start, everything was super well organized. The catamaran was comfortable and the atmosphere very relaxed. We had access to drinks such as beer, rum, tequila and soft drinks throughout the tour, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
One of the best parts was the visit to Yelapa Waterfall. The walk up there was short but great, and being able to take a swim in the waterfall was something unique. In Majahuitas, snorkeling in crystal clear waters was amazing, as well as kayaking and paddleboarding, total fun!
The food was delicious, and although drinks on the beach were not included, we had everything we needed on board. The best thing was that we didn't feel rushed, we had time to enjoy everything calmly.
If youâre looking for a relaxing, nature-filled tour, this is the one! Fully recommended.

Yelapa! - Second time taking a boat tour like this. An absolute blast. On the way there you stop before you get to Yelapa so you can swim, snorkel, kayak or paddle board. There was a manta ray, so that was cool. We went in February and the water was fine. I just jumped in and never felt cold. After the swim the bar is open. Yelapa was great, we did a guided tour to the waterfall, walking through town was pretty awesome. On the way back, if you keep saying yes, you will always have a drink on your hand : )
Thanks Brown Sugar.

Yelapa tour - Great tour of this fishing village! You can ride an ATV or mule to a waterfall. Beautiful little village. Gorgeous beach. Snorkeling at Majahuitas was good. Cold but good! See whales as well. Food was good.

Excellent - Must do trip - An excellent must do experience. The place is beautiful, the staff on board the vessel were awesome. They kept the supply of food and drink and entertainment coming.
The only think I felt was not genuine was the snorkeling. The water was murky and very few fish could be seen

Advice from a Solo tourist with limited mobility - Iâm a solo tourist with limited mobility. Having a severe sport injury to my knee itâs very painful to walk long distances especially on uneven ground or hard surfaces. However this trip as many others does state that itâs âNOTâ for people with limited mobility. If youâre like me you must understand your reality and only do what youâre realistically capable of doing. If you follow this advice I will assure you that you still will have a satisfying experience. I only expected to have a day out on the ocean just sailing around in Mexico and whatever my body allowed me to do, became an addition to my day trip.
First I took Dramamine at 1800 hours the evening prior and then at 600 hours, two hours prior to my initial sail, advice from a professional fisherman. This tip is to prevent motion sickness and it worked for me.
I found a seat on the vessel that was comfortable for me and placing me out of the way from the other tourist with adequate mobility. I sat on the vessel on the top deck to the right of the Captain in the front right corner. This was my seat for the entire trip. B5 was my touring vessel.
I didnât go snorkeling or hiking and I donât consume alcohol.
This was my first time sailing. I was afraid to get off the vessel in Yelapa because it didnât dock. However the Captain and crew members assisted me through my fear and anxiety and I made it to shore safely.
On the beach while relaxing, I supported a local entrepreneur by purchasing some jewelry and I purchased a passion fruit smoothie.
In Yelapa I would suggest investing in the lavatories, making them all properly functional. They are clean, however they need minor repairs and maintenance. The beach staff was very accommodating and I always appreciate seeing dogs happy, and free roaming as they should be in nature.
At the Majahuitas I was informed by the Caption that I didnât need to go hiking, I was able to stay at the dining area by the shoreline where we had docked. Unfortunately the Sister serving the food wasnât friendly nor accommodating. She wouldnât serve me, stating that I wasnât apart of any group that was scheduled to dine there. A crew member from another vessel B6 had shared his lunch with me. I would suggest communicating with the server when you have tourist with limited mobility that you are inviting to remain there for lunch as an option. The lavatories at the Majahuitas are clean and in full working order. The area at the dock is very relaxing with a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
Returning back to Vallarta the crewmen entertained the tourists. I would only suggest that you âNOTâ have my brothers dressed in female clothing imitating women. Please know that comedians such as Martin Lawrence, Flip Wilson, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith, etcâŠ. having them to perform in female clothing, acting as a female was actually an insult and a means to degrade and demasqullize them . Itâs plenty of skits they can perform without loosing their masculinity. I didnât find it to be funny but more so dehumanizing and insulting.
I would rather see you perform more of the arts that are favorable to your cultural. Americans need to learn to experience other cultures when visiting other countries. The Mexican culture is beautiful and there are plenty of artists within your culture that could assist you learning comical skits that are favorable to your masculinity and cultural. You can teach the Mexican Jarabe, Cumbia or La Bamba lessons, if need be. Lip sing some famously known Mexican or Latino artists, expose the tourist to your cultural as much as you can.
Make Your Sister Proud to visit you all here!!!! I had a relaxing and peaceful journey and I would recommend this tour to everyone to do within your own capabilities.

Ok for younger tourists. - Staff speaks little English and feels like they do not care much. We also didn't like Yelapa beach. Water was cold and dropped deep fast, also not very clean. Food was OK. Beef was very hard to chew. Music on board was too loud. We are not coming back for this one.
Also, if you have any mobility issues, I would suggest avoiding this tour. Getting to the beach require transfer to a smaller boat as well as getting back onboard.

Mahahuitas NO, Yelapa YES! - Snorkeling is HORRIBLE, but Yelapa Falls was stunning. The water at mahahuita is gross, dirty, murky, canât see a thing thru goggles. They said it was a bad day but Iâm a snorkeler and itâs just grossed out by so many tours going there and murking up that bay. Few people got sick from how dirty the water was. The equipment was old and didnât work for a lot of folks,
But mine was fine.
Yelapa falls was outstanding. The ATV is the only way to go, donât walk! ATV tour guide Francisco was awesome. Stunning views and he stopped for photo ops. The falls is spectacular, not like Hawaii, but still spectacular. All the tour hosts were amazing, they made the bad snorkeling not as bad because they are great guys and girls. Next time, Iâll do Yelapa only and skip that murky bay.

Not worth the price, the boat and the host. Other tour companies will give you a much better experience - - misleading destination. Even though the tour said Majaulitas, they didnât take us to that beach. After complaining to the host/guide he dismissed it saying âgo and write a reviewâ
- top deck was not service properly
- not proper guiding. Other tours take you to the best areas while snorkeling. This tour didnât . They let you go on âyour ownâ
- other tours provided full snorkeling equipment. This one didnât
- music too loud. My wife and I were on the top deck and the speakers were so loud taht we couldnât talk to each other. I requested to lower it, but they didnât
- and the boat was either not captained properly or the design wasnât good. Lots of people got sick and they got only just a throw out bag in exchange
