Getting to Yelapa from PV airport or bus terminal — Enlist a taxi to take you to Los Muertos Pier (Muelle de Los Muertos in spanish – sounds like mwayay de los mweartos) it takes 20-25 min. Agree on price before entering the vehicle; you shouldn't pay more than $250 pesos (these taxis are white).
If you don’t have too much baggage and are watching the pennies, go over the bridge just outside the airport, there are yellow taxis waiting to help you also – they cost less than the airport taxis, at around about $150-180 pesos.
The more adventurous with lighter baggage may take a public bus (catch one that says "CENTRO" on it just outside the airport under the overhead walkway). This will take you near to Los Muertos pier for $6.50 pesos, you will have about a 5 minute walk to the pier from where you are dropped, to board a "panga" (water taxi) for the 45 minute trip along the scenic jungle coastline to Yelapa.
The water taxi pickup is at Los Muertos Pier, located at the end of Francisco Rodriguez Street in "Old Town" or "Olas Altas" on the southern edge of the city. Please note that sometimes boats change their hours, to be sure email us just before your journey to get updates. Also for those of you travelling in the low season (May to October) there are restricted boat times so please check with us.
If you are arriving at the Bus Terminal this is on the outskirts of Puerto Vallarta. You can either get a taxi straight to "Muelle de Los Muertos" (see above for how to say this!), or you can get a bus – catch one that says "centro" on the front of the bus – it wont take you directly to the pier, just about a 5 minute walk away. Buses as above cost $6.50 pesos, taxis from the Bus terminal between $150-$200.
