How to get to Yelapa: For starters you fly into Puerto Vallarta (PVR), Mexico. Yelapa is only accessible by boat so here are directions to catch a water taxi to Yelapa. The first and easiest place to catch a water taxi to Yelapa is located at the end of the Los Muertos Pier. Jump into a taxi and tell them you are heading to Yelapa and need to go to Los Muertos Pier and they will know where to take you to. Once they drop you off you will walk towards the water and pier which will be visible from drop off. As your walking down the block towards the water and the end of that block there is a Water Taxi booth you will see on your right. They can assist you in buying tickets for the water taxi to Yelapa. It usually cost around 350 peso for a round trip ticket. If you don't know how long you will be staying in Yelapa I recommend just buying a one way to ticket to Yelapa. It is advised to be at the end of the pier 10-15 minutes early just to make sure you make the trip to Yelapa. If you have extra luggage a tip is in order for the guys on the boat. Once you pull into Yelapa they will first stop at a pier on the left. Usually they ask if your going to Hotel Lagunita and this is where you want to get off the boat at. One of our staff members will be there to meet you.
