  • Duration: 8 Hours (approx.)

We will meet at 8:00 am in the Romantic Zone to begin our Yelapa Tour.  We will walk a few blocks and take a bus to catch a water taxi.  The water taxi will take us to the remote and beautiful fishing village of Yelapa.    

During the boat ride be vigilant for whales during the winter season as many make their home in our bay and then return to the waters off Alaska for the summers.  The coast line during this trip is also a beautiful sight to behold.  

Upon arrival in Yelapa, we will set the time to meet the boat back to return (often it is 4:00 pm.  Then we will begin our walking adventure through this extremely beautiful and carless seaside village.  

We will stop for lunch approx. 1:00 PM.  There are a number of options that you will have been introduced to during the tour so everyone will be free to choose their favorite. There are two areas for lunch - in the center of town or on the East beach where the restaurants will allow free use of their lounges and chairs when you order off their menus.  

One of the main attractions that we will visit in Yelapa is the waterfall.  There is a pool below, so swimming is encouraged.  And the adventure leader will spend sufficient time so everyone can get a swim. 

The other major attraction (besides for the amazing walking paths) is the "Museum of History, Art & Culture of Yelapa."  Entrance is included in the tour and we will spend up to 30-50 minutes at the museum. 

The final 2-3 hours are set aside for lunch and free time.  (Enjoy the beach, revisit the waterfall or go shopping...)
