Discover Yelapa

Boating, swimming, and snorkeling are the best ways to discover Yelapa, a small community that embraces a simple lifestyle. Once in Yelapa, you’ll have time for lunch at a local restaurant—you can even eat with your toes in the sand!

Hop on a boat and head for Yelapa—home to a native community along the south side of Banderas Bay. Your guide will take you through a local village for a visit to the Rosewood Artisans, a local church, and a stunning waterfall where you can take a quick swim (seasonal).

While boating across Banderas Bay, be sure to keep an eye out for marine mammals including dolphins, giant manta rays, sea turtles, and marine birds. For a more intimate look, snorkel in one of the secluded coves; you can join a tour guide or go off on your own.

Lunch
After a tour of the local sights, head to the a beach restaurant. You can even eat with your toes in the sand! Lunch consists of a choice of grilled chicken, grilled fish, grilled whole red snapper, fish or chicken tacos, or a Mexican platter. All lunches come with rice, beans, and vegetables.
