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!

Boat 5 rocks and this is the trip you want to do in Puerto Vallarta. - Wonderful experience. Boat was fun. Kids enjoyed the beach at Yalepa and grandma and I did the waterfall hike. Remote and beautiful. Not to bad of a walk if you're old or very young it's doable about 25min up hill. Food at the second stop was really good and I mean really good . Beaches are remote and really beautiful. Swimming was nice and kids got a banana boat ride. All and all a really great day. One last touch Lucas and the crew boat 5 were the best with a great show on the way back to town. 5 stars all the way.

Fun excursion with Danny and Vallarta Adventures - This excursion was delightful! Danny and his crew were amazing. Their hospitality, local knowledge, and stage presence made for a fun day. Especially loved our time in Yelapa and hike to the waterfall. Upon leaving Yelapa we were escorted by an incredibly large pod of very happy dolphins! Highly recommend!

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.

Okay, but wouldn’t pay for it again. - Entertaining boat ride. Yelapa tour was disappointing. It was suppose to be a hike to a waterfall. It was a walk through a village to a dried up waterfall( no rain). It was neat to see the village, but it was not as advertised. Snorkeling would have been neat but we were given a very short time because another group came in.

A Tour for the Party-Hearty - This tour is for those who like to drink, dance and party. Our group left the pier about 45 minutes after the scheduled time. The included lunch only happened after the tour guide encouraged travelers to stop at a restaurant that customers had to pay for. Those of us who bought the tour with lunch included didn't get to the lunch spot until 2:40 pm. There was a walking tour with very little leadership--several got off-track, not knowing of a turn they had to make to stay with the group. The group leader paid little attention to the group trying to follow him. The music was extremely loud. No place to escape--it had to damage the hearing of all on-board. The crew appeared to have a very good time.

First regrettable trip - I would not recommend going into Yelepa without a guide, it’s confusing and there’s really not much to see. Having to walk all through the long pot holed cobblestone walk and then across the rough Beach to get to the pick up pier was not fun. My husband took a bad fall onto concrete and we think has sprained his back, I had toes crack open from the rough sand. Views are beautiful, crew was very nice, bbq lunch was nice but was confusing on what was going on when we first arrived to lunch spot.
