Beach visit

Response from the operator: We appreciate your excellent review! Thank you for choosing us, and see you again! 😊

Beautiful, but...
Beautiful boat ride and the locations were great! Staff needs to be attentive to ALL guests, not just those who they think will tip well., because surprise, surprise black and brown people tip! My bestie at times was ignored asking for a simple soda yet others got more than they requested! The trip is a LONG day. THINK 8 OR 9 HOURS! Eat before you go.Because breakfast is an apple or a banana in a small bread like pastry. Lunch is the last thing you will do , and it would seem like it would be more like dinner. The food is lackluster at best. Instead of ceviche , it was cauliflower ceviche. The only thing that makes it a barbecue are the two anemic little ribs you get. But the boat ride, the beaches, and Yelipa are beautiful! Would I do it again? No. But i'm not mad that we did it once! Boat #5 with Danny.
Response from the operator: Hola Denise, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful boat ride, the beaches, and your visit to Yelapa. At the same time, we sincerely apologize that some aspects of the service and food did not meet your expectations. Providing attentive and welcoming service to every guest is extremely important to us, and we regret that you and your friend did not feel equally attended to during the experience. Your comments regarding the meal options, timing, and overall service will be shared with the corresponding team for review and improvement. We truly appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us continue enhancing the experience we provide to all our guests. 😊 Warm regards,

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ & Open Bar at Majahuitas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ & Open Bar at Majahuitas cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ & Open Bar at Majahuitas take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ & Open Bar at Majahuitas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 789 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ & Open Bar at Majahuitas?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ & Open Bar at Majahuitas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ & Open Bar at Majahuitas?
+
Around 276 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa Waterfall, BBQ & Open Bar at Majahuitas start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
