Puerto Vallarta 2024

Published on Jul, 2024

Took private Yelapa boat tour and snorkeling with Mona Lisa!! Chema, Poppa Boxer and Angel were the best crew! Exceptional tour! Beautiful scenes! Chema was very informative on the history of this great place! I would book with them again!

Fun activity in PV

Published on Jun, 2024

My family and I had an amazing time. We opted for a private boat tour to avoid the party boat mentality with our daughter. We are so glad we did. Chema and the boat captain were great. Chema took the time to teach us about PV and the surrounding area. We went at our own pace and Chema offered several options about what we wanted to do. We snorkeled at Los Across and then went on to the beach. We relaxed, had lunch and went swimming in the ocean. A highlight of our vacation.

Best water adventure in PV!

Published on Mar, 2024

All of PV is amazing but this adventure will go down as one of the most unforgettable experiences for our large group of 32! The staff was so fun and professional! Our water stop was private and safe. We snorkeled, kayaked, lily pad, SUP board. Great food and drink. Yelapa is gorgeous and unexpected and takes your breath away. We hiked to the waterfall and played in the water. Hiked through the town and had time for lunch at a beachside restaurant. Back on the catamaran and the dance party started on our way back to PV! So much fun! We will never forget this day!

Boat tour to Yelapa

Husband and I took this private tour to Yelapa and had a wonderful laid back day. Chema hosted us and was very knowledgeable explaining the sights along the way and guided us to the famous waterfall.
