What To Expect

Set off from Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta on a high-speed boat bound for Yelapa — a colorful seaside village tucked into the lush southern coastline. Explore its charming alleys and visit the famous Yelapa waterfall before heading to one of the bay’s clearest beaches for a guided snorkeling session. Weather permitting, you'll discover vibrant marine life including sea turtles, starfish, octopuses, lobsters, and tropical fish.

Enjoy kayaking, floating mats, or simply relaxing by the water. Then dock at secluded Madagascar Beach for a delicious seaside lunch and drinks. On the way back, we’ll make a quick stop at the iconic Los Arcos de Mismaloya for photos of the towering granite rock formations.
