Fun Day in Yelapa!

Super fun day! I am really happy I decided to do this trip. Yelapa is a very unique place in Mexico! The tour guide Abraham was very pleasant and knowledgeable!

Fun day in Yelapa!

Amazing day at the beautiful fishing village of Yelapa! Our guide Daniel was excellent and made sure everyone enjoyed the experience. I would recommend eating at the authentic Mexican restaurant on the way down from the incredible waterfall rather than the tourist focused restaurants on the beach.

Village of Yelapa

Great relaxing day checking out the small fishing village of Yelapa. Our tour guide Daniel was charming and helpful. Beautiful waterfall and lots of places to eat.

Highly recommend Yelpa Tour

Published on Feb, 2024

Although cloudy, we had a excellent day in Yelpa! Daniel, our guide, met our group at the given location and we were off. Part of the fun was getting there. A bus ride about 30 minutes outside the city to a small fishing village, then a small transport boat to Yelpa. Once there Daniel made sure we got to do things at our pace. We walked to the waterfall, not far, then a stop for a snack and off again to explore the town. If walking is not your thing, no worries you can do nothing but hang out on the wonderful beach. It’s a perfect place to get away from the city! This village is very picturesque! Finally we went to the lounge chairs where we just relaxed for the rest of the afternoon (aka drinking and eating). Then we were back on the boat to start our return. Last wonderful thing… a few hours later a text from Daniel to make sure we got back to our place safe and sound! Great having him… we could easily have done this journey on our own, but great having a guide to take away any worries! Example on the way back a couple who paid for a round trip ended up on our boat and had to pay again! ( most of these small boats look alike)

Stress free Yelapa day, all the details of hiring a water taxi, riding the bus are all taken care of.

Having Daniel as our guide was very good, we appreciated his knowledge of navigating the narrow Yelapa streets. The waterfalls are beautiful, good food and awesome beach. Highly recommend this walking tour.
