Great Day Trip From PV - Fun boat trip from PV. The crew was attentive and offered various drinks, fruit and sweetbread on the way to Yelapa. We had to stop in a couple of places to snorkel due to the annual jellyfish population. We saw Los Arcos near Mismaloya, got a guided walk thru Yelapa and to the falls (a trickle at this time of year), got beach time and had a great lunch. On the way back, we had fun musical entertainment...gotta see it, don't want to ruin the surprise! All in all a fun day in PV.

Safety first…this is the place to book your Adventure - Had an absolutely amazing time with Dani and the VA team from pick up to drop off. Felt very safe and cared for at every step of the day. The scenery was beautiful and the beach lunch was very good full of local flavouEd.
Enjoyed ourselves so much on Tuesday we booked another adventure for Thursday.
Thanks Again…Heather and Barb from BC Canada

Amazing experience - We had so much fun. Our crew was amazing and kept us entertained the entire boat ride, and the open bar and beach were beautiful. Thank you Poncho, Armando, Francisco, Francesco, Raciel, Eduardo, and Enrique for a wonderful excursion!

Beautiful Tour, Great Food, Just Wish for More Time at Majahuitas - We had a wonderful time—everything was fantastic, and the crew was absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond and were all incredibly kind and attentive.
The only things my friends and I would have changed were the time spent at Majahuitas and the duration of the snorkeling. We were only at Majahuitas for about 1.5 hours, which felt quite short—especially since that was the main reason we booked the tour. Between eating, enjoying water sports, and exploring the beach club, the time just wasn’t enough.
On the other hand, the snorkeling portion felt a bit too long, and we would’ve preferred to spend more of that time relaxing at Majahuitas.
That said, the food was excellent—very fresh and full of flavor!

This trip was so much fun... - This trip was so much fun but I only gave 4 stars for 2 reasons. 1) the second stop would had included the waterfall but it was dry so we didn’t walk up to it on the advice of the guide. Instead you could do a little village walk or go to the beach. 2) we opted the beach and it was a short time there with multiple people wanting to sell you things including marijuana, lol.
I was really looking forward to the waterfall but with drought, should had expected that it wasn’t running.
Other than that, we had a fabulous time!
Relaxing at the last beach with the bbq was very nice. Paddle boarding and the banana boat were a lot of fun. The crew was excellent and very experienced at what they do. The performance they put on at the end was hysterical!!
All said, I would recommend this and do it again.
Oh and make sure you take your id with you to check in and your own towels!

Good Trip - The trip was good. The snorkel experience wasn't great as it was wavy and the waters were not super clear. It was jelly fish season and the crew worked hard to find a spot were not jelly fish were around. But they cannot control the waves, fair. The crew: Luis, Luigi, Beto, Fili, Flash, Fernando and Mode were fun and helpful. The show they put out at the end of the trip was very good. I only have 2 complaints: the excursion is rush, rush, rush: Stop at Yelapa, walk for about 1 hour, sit down at the beach for 1/2 hour and off you go to Majahuitas were you only spend like 1.5 hours and back home. My other complaint is that being a family friendly activity (there were kids ranging from toddlers all the way to pre-teens or teens) and I understand people drink and are getting "happier" toward the end of the trip, please ensure that guests keep some decorum and behave according to the audience, as the young kids don't need to see drunk people suggesting sexual behaviors in front of them.

See above - You would be better off just booking the beach cruise with snorkeling to Majahuitas. If you are really into the local culture, yelapa is worth visiting but it is just a short walk through town to a nonexistent waterfall. The crew was amazing and entertaining, especially Chai. Lunch was not great. Beach was beautiful, snorkeling freezing but lots of pretty fish.

Overall good, but disappointed in our most recent experience - Overall a very wonderful experience, I have been on this excursion 3 times and we went back on this excursion 4 years after getting engaged on the beach at Yelapa. Although this time was not as good or special as the last time we went here, it was still a very fun and unforgettable experience. The staff on the boat are absolutely amazing and make you feel right at home, however I was extremely disappointed and unsatisfied with our time at Majauitas ( the second location you visit, for lunch). Last time we went the experience was perfect, but this time for our 4-year anniversary it was quite the letdown. The beach and property surrounding was extremely dirty and there was broken glass and trash all over which is very surprising for a small exclusive Beach. Another disappointment was that the showers to rinse off after being in the ocean do not work. On the positive side, the food there is wonderful. I would still recommend this experience, but I highly encourage Vallarta Adventures to clean up Majauitas and work on the friendliness of the staff specifically at that location. Also while in Yelapa be sure to try the coconut pie and passion fruit margarita!

took tour for the waterfall, did not get to go to water - This tour is nothing but sell, sell, sell; if you do not buy, buy, buy you will bot enjoy this tour. I took this tour to visit the waterfall at Yelapa and when we got to Yelapa there were 2 types of tours, one for people who were going to stay at the beach and one for people who wanted to visit the waterfall. When visiting the waterfall they try to sell you ATV's or horses up to the waterfall, ifnot they tell you it's a 30 minute hioe (in reality it's 5-6 minutes, I asked around). We opted to walk instead of not paying for a ride and what happened? They didn't take us. There was no announcement thru the speakers, they just told the people who payed to go to the back and they took them on the first boat. By the time we went back there to ask they said the only boat going to the waterfall had already left and all that was left was the boats to the beach, where guess what? all you can do is buy, buy, buy. nothing is included at the beach. so we just sat there for 2 hours waiting for the boat to come back and take us to the next spot. I feel scammed and I will not opt to take Vallarta Adventures ever again. I had a much better and cheaper experience with Beach Boys so I'll be going with them again instead
