If you're visiting Puerto Vallarta, one of the most popular boat trips is the 90 minute voyage down to Yelapa . Yelapa is a tiny village of about 1500 inhabitants , about an hour south of PV near the end of Bandaras Bay. Next to to the village is a very nice beach and lots of small restaurants .

Yelapa is a favorite place to a visit where you can hike , ride horseback, swim in the little bay or just sit back and have a beer and enjoy the surroundings.

Three hours later we boarded our boat and headed back north. There's a stop for some snorkeling, and then on to Puerto Vallarta.

It's a nice change of pace from the hectic downtown sightseeing and shopping. Try it - you'll like it.
