Private Bay Tour (Whales/Marine Life Encounters, Visit Yelepa Waterfall & Beach)
Overview
By far the best way to experience our region is on a private boat. On this adventure, you will cross the Bay of Banderas (usually accompanied by Dolphins, Whales, or Turtles) and head to Yelepa where you can enjoy a beachside lunch or take an easy hike to the local waterfall (or both). Feel free to go for a swim or try your luck with a bit of fishing. Take an optional detour back and see Old Town Puerto Vallarta from the water. Days don't get any better than this and the memories will last a lifetime!
