Yelapa’s tranquility is the perfect balance for those looking to relax in one of the numerous beach chairs, soak up the sun, and enjoy a cold drink. For those looking to swim, snorkel, or parasail, there is plenty of beach to do so or enjoy the nature by exploring the village by mule or foot. The waterfall is a must see in the rainy season (August-November).

We had the best time on our private snorkeling tour! While we wished we'd seen more fish, we really enjoyed the sightseeing along the coastline. Fernando and his son were exceptional hosts, and made the day great for our entire family! Even better, we saved a boatload of money (no pun intended) by going with La Vida Bella Boat Tours vs one from Vallarta Adventures! It literally cost us about half, and I can't imagine we'd have had any better experience with theirs. But no doubt, the best part of all was Fernando Jr.'s guacamole! Holy schmoley! It was the best chips and guac of our lives. We highly recommend them!

If you're looking for the best private boat charter in Vallarta, you have certainly found it! Fernando and his son were fantastic hosts for our adventure south of Vallarta. Booking via their website was prompt and efficient. Ashley was a pleasure to work with, she was so accommodating with our beer and snack preferences and requests! There were only 4 of us on this trip, but the boat had plenty of space for several more. The boat was clean, comfy, and well equipped. 10/10, I am sending all my friends to La Vida Bella. Our trip began with Fernando picking us up at Los Muertos pier. He was on time, and ready to go as soon as we arrived. The cruise down to Yelapa was wonderful! With a few shots of Tequila in our system, we arrived to the beautiful picturesque Playa Yelapa. After a beautiful lunch on the beach, Fernando toured us through the town and up to the waterfall. After Yelapa, we cruised over to Playa Majahuitas and snorkeled in the area. We saw a wide range of fish and I even saw a beautiful spotted stingray. The final stop of the day was Playa Las Animas. There we sat on the beach, had a light snack, and enjoyed the ocean and light music from the locals. I mentioned the gracious flexibility of Fernando on this trip. We initially thought 6 hours would be sufficient, but we ended up nearly 9 hours on the boat because we were having so much fun that we didn't want to leave. Do yourself a favor and book with La Vida Bella... You will forever remember this amazing adventure!

Jose and Jonathan were great guides for the Ziplines... Very funny and nice!! The zips themselves were long and beautiful. Just fyi there are some stairs involved so you have to be at least somewhat fit to make this work, but we had zero issues and a great time. The rest of the experience was a bit sketchy though, to be honest. Once you're done you'll be pressured a little bit to eat at the restaurant, buy photos and buy tequila. You're also gonna be stuck there until everyone who eats is done and the van comes back. For the low price of the experience we didn't mind this much... However we ended up buying some bottles of tequila with the promise they'd be delivered to our hotel, but they never came and the number the vendor gave us was a dead end. (Glad we didn't pay cash!!!) So... Overall good experience for the slashed covid price, and fun zips, just know that it's got some catches and don't buy a thing from that tequila guy :)

My name is Diego. I have a bachelor's degree in tourism and a master in social studies from the University of Guadalajara. I created this tour to introduce visitors to the history, culture and architecture of Guadalajara, my home city. Walking in the city's historic barrios, plazas and markets, you will discover its unique personality while learning how historical events have shaped its urban and social landscape throughout the centuries. You will also discover Guadalajara's fundamental landmarks, including: 1. The Cathedral 2. Hospicio Cabañas (home to the murals of Jose Clemente Orozco) 3. Mercado Libertad (the biggest indoor market in Latin America) 4. Chapultepec cultural corridor. Whether a family with children, a couple, a group of friends or a solo traveler, my tours are highly flexible/adaptable to meet your specific interests. By the end of our private walking tour (no groups!), you will have a wider understanding of Guadalajara and Mexico's past and present.

Inclusions: My services as a guide

Exclusions: Snacks and water
