First- let’s give the CREW the credit they deserve. From the beginning, our guide Angel was INCREDIBLE in his communication, attentiveness, and information he shared about the area. As a local to Yelapa, you could hear the genuine love for his home as he took us horseback riding, waterfall hiking & then made some short stops at points of interest thru town along the way back to the boat. He was joined by Guillermo(Memo) who provided fantastic photography just for our group at points ALL along the way and Chuy, our boat captain, who navigated that stretch of coast with a level of skill that can only come from years of making frequent trips back & forth in a variety of conditions. (I usually have anxiety out in open ocean, but even despite some decent sized swells on the ride back, I felt SO safe with this crew that I actually closed my eyes, relaxed & just went along with the ride.)
Yelapa is MAGICAL in an untouched/unspoiled kind of way- I hope the locals continue to advocate to keep property owners LOCAL.
As the weather shifted on us mid-day, the snorkel spot was better suited for experienced snorkelers, but I didn’t mind staying in the boat with Chuy & enjoyed watching the others check out the sea life.
Pizota was the last stop where we got to enjoy a DELICIOUS buffet style Mexican lunch beach side with a FULL bar too. After lunch we had time to lounge in the hammocks, play ball on the beach, and although paddle boarding is usually an option, that particular day our group all opted to vibe lounging on the beach.
The CREW truly made the entire experience PERFECTO, and I would come back & request the SAME crew again & again. ¡Ciao mis amigos!
