Yelapa is only accessible by boat and you have some great options to get you and your party to your Casa destination. Before jumping on your boat to Yelapa, we need to get you to Puerto Vallarta airport. Be sure to book your flights to "PVR". From the airport, you have a few options!
If you're traveling with children, an older group, a large group or just your first time to Mexico or the Banderas Bay, you may want to take the hassle, extra time (and stress of being on the public taxi schedule) out of your commute from the airport to Yelapa.
Marina Vallarta to Yelapa:
Our Private Boat Service will greet you at Marina Vallarta, just a couple minutes from the Puerto Vallarta Airport, and boat you directly to the Village Pier in Yelapa.
You'll take a short taxi ride from the Puerto Vallarta airport to Marina Vallarta where Captain Felipe or one of his crew will greet you and scoop up your group (and your luggage) onto "Sany", your private boat to Yelapa (Accommodates up to 10 guests).
If you're familiar with Yelapa, are well traveled and have a fairly flexible travel schedule, the public boat taxi is a great option. You'll take a (car) taxi from PVR to Los Muertos pier. Once at the pier, you'll ask for the 'boat taxi office' where you'll buy a one-way ticket to Yelapa. The boats run on a schedule depending on the time of year. Here's a link to the latest boat taxi schedule. The cost for a one-way ticket is approximately 220 pesos per person.
The pro when taking the public taxi is the price! Cheapest way to get to Yelapa (unless you're a really good swimmer).
The con is that you're on the taxi schedule and may have delays in customs or flight delays, which could lead to missing your boat.
