Dream day adventure - We originally booked a private boat tour to Yalapa with Fernando & Mixon but upon arrival they suggested we checkout another small fish town instead since the waterfall at Yalapa was not currently flowing. We are so glad we took their advice. An hour long boat ride and we arrived at the town of Quimixto where Mixon lead us on a adventure of horseback riding up to a waterfall with a small restaurant and swimming hole. On the way back to PV, we stopped at another beach town where we enjoyed more margaritas and parasailing. Fernando & Mixon were awesome, this was definitely the highlight of our trip!

Great Yelapa experience with La Vida Bella! - Great experience visiting Yelapa. The captain and his mate are a father/son combo who were very polite and accommodating. Their patience with my family of 5, children ages 14, 7, and 5, was very much appreciated. I was also pleasantly surprised when the captain took us on a personal tour of the town and up to the town's water fall, which I was not expecting. The cost of this private tour is well worth it for peace of mind and relaxation. Definitely recommend!

Yelapa Amazing Adventure! - The crew and boat gave me and my family an amazing experience!
The hike to the waterfall and trip leading up to it were all joyful. We also came across whales when heading back to shore from the trip which was a great end to the whole adventure. Highly recommend this.
Just a note. I went with my family and parents who are in their 60s/70s. They’re in good shape and were able to handle the physical moments jumping in/out of the boats when needed. Just a call out for others traveling with older folks to make sure they’re in good shape :)

Great tour - Fernando was awesome and the trip was fun, the boat ride amazing and Yelepa is beautiful.
The only thing that annoyed me was the horse ride that we booked. The little kid who led the horses kept asking me for money all the way up to the waterfall. I gave him a tip at the waterfall and then he kept asking me for money all the way back down so I tipped him again at the end of the horse ride. For this reason I would not recommend the horse ride to the waterfall but that has nothing to do with Fernando or his tour. He was amazing and his tour is awesome. Don't hesitate to book it.

Amazing Hosts and Destination - I will validate what so many have already said. This is an amazing tour and Fernando is one of the most hospitable people I've met and a terrific host. We stopped for a quick snorkel on the way to Yelapa and had lunch on the beach after the waterfall. Amazing!!! We never felt rushed to move. Lunch service took extra long due to crowds but since we were on our own boat, there was no hurry. We will be back to do it again!
Thank you!!!

Drab - Very disorganized. We left 40 minutes late. Breakfast was cold and tasteless scrambled eggs with chips. The snorkeling was fine. We arrived in Yelapa and had to wait for the folks who were paying for extra ATV or horseback rides to disembark. On the surface, that seems reasonable but, by the time we got to the beach there were no more umbrellas and chairs available. We were told to go have lunch. Not a great option, since we just had breakfast. But then we were told lunch would be another wait. We ended up sitting in the resteraunt . It felt like because we didn't pay for extra excursions we were abandoned. Finally, lunch. It was drab, really. On the ride back the entertainment was very loud through horribly cracked speakers. . The reviewcrew and some of the passengers engaged in mimicking explicit perverted sexual acts. I wont describe this. It was outrageous and children were there. On the way home we discovered the tequila was watered down. I know this is a horrible. It fits the day.
