Guides such as Cesar, Tania, May, Loza, and Fito have led past trips, though the team varies. Expect a wet, demanding day.

“Great adventure tour you get a lot of variety. Speed boat, truck, mule ride, ziplines, rappelling, nachos and guacamole were amazing. The pace is really fast and you don’t get time to think. They provide instructions very fast. I am not giving it a 5 start because 1) The roller coaster - I would caution, cause it was a bit crazy, one of us did get injured a bit and someone in our tour did have their ribs hurt. 2) the setting of the ziplines and locations is amazing ; you are coming down waterfalls and swinging close to them, but there is no time to pause and admire the…”

4.Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ at Exclusive Majahuitas Beach & Open bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 760 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $99

Spend about seven hours boating from Puerto Vallarta to Yelapa and Majahuitas. Walk through Yelapa to a waterfall, snorkel and kayak in Banderas Bay, then enjoy a BBQ at a secluded beach club. Danny and Poncho are among the entertaining crew members often praised for keeping the day moving.

“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.…”

“Best adventure day!!! Edgar was FABULOUS. He made the day. Excellent driver. Excellent conversationalist. He physically lead and helped us through the falls. I really think he should be best employee. A few things to note- road is windy. If you have people in your party who get cat sick on roads- give them gravol. It’s a few hours up the mountains. (Stunning drive!) Longer if someone is sick as they slow right down!! bring water shoes. Or runners you can lace up tight and don’t mind getting wet. You will be soaked after the falls. Bring what you need to be comfortable after the swim! Bring cash. Lunch is…”
