Review of Puerto Vallarta’s all-inclusive Yelapa yacht cruise, with snorkeling, waterfall hike, meals, open bar, kayaks, and practical tips.

“Chica Locca, the operator, delivered a great experience; DJ David was very playful and made the time on the boat fly by. Crew was the absolute definition of attentive. For example, one passenger tracked a bunch of sand onto the deck of the boat. When that passenger realized his mistake, he went to shake his shoes off over the side of the boat. As soon as he stood up, a member of the crew was there to mop up the mess. Literally right away. None of the crew was ever still, either cleaning the boat surfaces or serving passengers. The only down side is that I never got the massage…”

“From pick up to drop off the service was top notch. Isla mujeres is a truly stunning. Really enjoyed the snorkelling & atmosphere on the boat followed by some free time on Isla mujeres. On the way back it’s a slow pace to watch the sunset & enjoy a party, staff were literally amazing, my husband said he would go again as we had a great day. It was a full day trip, we were in riviera maya and from pick up to being dropped back it was around 11 hrs so amazing value for money. The buffet and drinks which are included on Isla mujeres are for 1.5 hrs,…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,521 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $40

Sail Bacalar’s Seven Colors Lagoon in a small group, with cenotes, two swims, fresh fruit, beer, and expert local crews.

“Great tour! It was nice to only have a small group (about 6), there were two groups which set of on separate boats. Both of our crew were lovely and friendly. The water is beautiful, both areas we swum in were crystal clear. We also had plenty of time, it didn't feel rushed at all. Only thing to note (which I wasn't aware of) is that you can't wear sunscreen in the lagoon, you're asked to shower when you arrive if so. Some people had long sleeve tops to swim in, which I'd recommend as I got quite sunburnt.”
