If you want to have a fun and relaxing day far away from it all, the quaint little villages of Yelapa and Majahuitas offer some of the best snorkeling at some of the most beautiful coves on the Bay of Banderas. With clear emerald waters and golden sand beaches, Yelapa and Majahuitas are hidden jewels just waiting to be discovered!
 
Our first port of call, Yelapa, is a charming Mexican fishing village set in its own natural cove. Long a famous Puerto Vallarta day trip, Yelapa is a must on most tourist's lists. Since there are no roads in, this tropical paradise is only accessible by a boat trip across the bay, where dolphins and humpback whales are often sighted during the winter.
 
If you love the outdoors and want to spend time exploring nature, this idyllic spot is perfect for you. This tiny village is a true escape from civilization . . . exploring the town, hiking through the jungle along the inland river to the Cola de Caballo waterfalls, swimming or snorkeling in the cove's calm waters, or just relaxing on the sandy beach.
 
Our afternoon is spent at the tranquil beach of Majahuitas, an unspoiled area of natural beauty on the southern coast of Banderas Bay. Only accessible by sea, Majahuitas is the desert island beach of everyone's dreams. With swaying palms, white sands and a sheltered cove with crystal clear waters and gentle surf, Majahuitas offers ideal conditions for snorkeling, swimming and kayaking.
Eco-tourists will certainly enjoy the abundance of wildlife at Majahuitas. Many species of birds and reptiles inhabit the area, and from Thanksgiving to Easter, the bay is full of sea turtles, dolphins, giant manta rays, and humpback whales. As we cruise back to Puerto Vallarta, our onboard fiesta wraps up a day full of fun-in-the-sun with an open bar, dancing, music, and entertainment provided by the Vallarta Adventure crew.
