Majahuitas All inclusive Beach Day

Majahuitas Beach Day gets you away from Puerto Vallarta by boat and into a quieter world of golden sand, jungle-covered hills, and clear coastal water. I like the scenic cruise across Banderas Bay and the easy mix of water sports and lounging. You can paddleboard or kayak, then settle onto a soft couch without having to plan the next move.

I also like the beach landing and included BBQ lunch, which make this feel more like a full day out than a quick swim stop. The main caution is snorkeling: conditions can be murky, especially in some seasons, so you should not book this trip mainly for underwater viewing.

Key points to know before you book

• Majahuitas is reachable only by sea, so the boat ride is part of the experience, not just transport.
• The beach club has Balinese beds, giant poufs, and lounge seating, giving you a comfortable place to spend the afternoon.
• Kayaks and paddleboards are included, along with water transportation and a BBQ lunch.
• The meal includes grilled ribs, chicken, vegetarian choices, and tropical desserts, plus beer, wine, and soft drinks.
• The tour lasts about six hours, begins at 11:00 am, and returns to the same Puerto Vallarta meeting point.
• An MX$40 port fee per person is extra, and the group can include up to 150 people.

Leaving Puerto Vallarta at 11:00 am

The day begins at Vallarta Adventures in Terminal Marítima, inside Puerto Mágico at the northern hotel zone. The address is Heroica Escuela Naval, Boulevard Francisco Medina Ascencio 30-G1, Zona Hotelera Norte, Puerto Vallarta.

You receive a mobile ticket and the activity is offered in English. The scheduled start is 11:00 am, so give yourself enough time to reach the terminal and find the Vallarta Adventures area before departure. Since the tour ends back at the same meeting point, you do not need to arrange a separate ride from the beach.

The group may include as many as 150 people. That is a sizable outing, so this is not the right pick if you want a quiet, private boat charter. At the same time, the large capacity helps explain how the tour can provide organized transport, food, drinks, and beach facilities for one set price.

You should expect a social day with other people sharing the boat and beach club. Families, couples, and groups of friends can all fit in, but the atmosphere may feel less personal than a small sailing trip.

The boat ride across Banderas Bay

The first real pleasure is the cruise itself. You travel across Banderas Bay toward Majahuitas, with Puerto Vallarta giving way to the open coast and the Sierra Madre foothills. The ride adds a sense of occasion because Majahuitas cannot be reached by road.

If you enjoy being on the water, try to find a spot that suits you. The front of the boat can be more exposed to spray and wave movement. That can feel wonderfully refreshing in the heat, but it is not the best place if you want a dry, still ride.

The cruise is also your transition from city time to beach time. I like that the experience does not simply drop you at a crowded urban waterfront. Instead, the boat carries you toward a shore that feels more removed and quiet.

Bring a layer if you are sensitive to wind, and protect your phone and other valuables from splashes. The supplied details do not specify the exact boat setup, so you should treat the ride as an outdoor coastal crossing rather than assuming a particular seating arrangement.

Arriving directly on the sand

One useful detail is the beach landing. The boat can arrive right at the beach, with a ramp leading down so you can walk onto the sand. You might have read descriptions of beach trips that require swimming from the boat to shore, but this experience does not necessarily work that way.

That matters for families, anyone carrying beach items, and people who simply prefer a dry arrival. It also lets you begin your beach time quickly instead of waiting for a tender or wading through the water.

Majahuitas itself is the main reason to choose this outing. The setting combines crystal-clear water, golden sand, and thick Sierra Madre jungle. Since the beach is accessible only by sea, it has a different feel from a city beach lined with roads, shops, and traffic.

Still, conditions can change. Water clarity is not guaranteed, and one trip in late April had water too murky for worthwhile snorkeling. The beach remains attractive even when underwater visibility is poor, but you should keep your expectations flexible.

Choosing between water sports and a lounge chair

Once you arrive, you can shape the afternoon around your own energy level. Paddleboards and kayaks are included, so you do not need to pay separately for those activities. They give you a simple way to get out on the water and see the shoreline from a different angle.

You can also swim or spend the rest of your time on the sand. The tour does not force you into a packed schedule, which is one of its strongest points. You can try one activity, return to shore, and still have plenty of time to relax.

The snorkeling deserves a clear warning. It is listed among the things you can enjoy at the beach, but conditions may not cooperate. Murky water can make the activity disappointing, even if you bring your own gear. I would regard snorkeling as a bonus, not the central purpose of the day.

The included kayaks and paddleboards are a safer expectation because they do not depend on seeing beneath the surface. You should still have a moderate level of physical fitness, as the activity includes getting around on a beach, entering the water, and handling basic water recreation.

The boho-style beach club

The beach club gives Majahuitas Day a more polished feel than a simple boat trip with a packed lunch. The setting includes Balinese beds, giant poufs, and lounge areas, along with private little seating areas assigned to the group.

Comfort is a real part of the value here. If you want to stretch out after kayaking or swimming, you have more options than a towel on bare sand. The couches have been described as especially comfortable, and they may be a better place to rest than the cruise beds.

That comfort also shapes the pace. You can spend the first part of your visit in the water and the latter part under shade or in a lounge area. For couples, this creates a pleasant balance between activity and downtime. For families, it gives parents a place to rest while children enjoy the shore, though every child should still be watched around the water.

The beach club is not the same as having a private beach all to yourself. With a maximum of 150 people, the shared facilities may have a lively feel. If you prefer complete silence and no organized group around you, a smaller charter would be a better match.

What the BBQ lunch includes

The food is built around a BBQ lunch. The meal includes grilled ribs, chicken, vegetarian options, and tropical desserts. Beer, wine, and soft drinks are also included, so the price covers more than transportation and beach access.

This is helpful because Majahuitas is reached by boat, and you cannot simply walk to a nearby restaurant. Having lunch arranged means you can focus on the beach instead of carrying food or trying to find a place to eat.

The meal is a practical part of the package, not a reason to expect a fine-dining experience. You will find more choice than with a basic sandwich lunch, especially if your group includes meat eaters and vegetarians. If you only want a small snack, you may find the full meal more than you need.

Extra food purchases can cost more. French fries, for example, were considered tasty but expensive on one visit. Since lunch is already included, I would start with the provided meal and buy extras only if you want them.

Alcoholic drinks are included, but you should pace yourself. A boat ride, hot sun, swimming, and alcohol can make for a tiring combination. Water and a hat are sensible additions even though the listed package includes soft drinks.

Is $129 a fair price?

At $129 per person, the cost is not a bargain beach transfer. It becomes easier to justify when you count what is bundled together: water transportation, beach access through the organized experience, a BBQ lunch, alcoholic drinks and soft drinks, a beach club setting, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

You are also paying for the fact that Majahuitas is sea-access only. Reaching a remote beach independently is not as simple as taking a local bus or taxi, and the package removes much of that planning.

The value is strongest if you expect to eat lunch, have a couple of drinks, use the water equipment, and spend several hours in the lounge area. If you only want to sit on the sand for an hour, the price will feel high.

Remember the additional MX$40 port fee per person. One important note applies to cruise passengers: the fee may be waived for people arriving as part of a cruise visit, so check your specific arrangement before exchanging money or budgeting for it. Do not assume the waiver applies unless it has been confirmed for your booking.

Who will enjoy this six-hour outing most?

I would recommend Majahuitas Beach Day to couples who want an easy beach escape, families looking for several low-pressure activities, and friends who want food and drinks included. You get enough structure to avoid logistical hassles, but enough free time to set your own pace.

It is also a good choice if you enjoy boats. The cruise is not an afterthought. For some people, the ride across Banderas Bay will be one of the highlights, especially from an open position near the front where you might catch sea spray.

You may want another tour if snorkeling is your top goal. Water clarity is not assured, and murky conditions can limit what you see. You should also think twice if a group of up to 150 feels too large or if you want a quiet, private beach experience without organized facilities.

The moderate fitness requirement is worth noting. You do not need to be an athlete, but you should be comfortable moving around a beach and taking part in basic water activities. If you plan to skip the sports, you can still enjoy the lounge areas, meal, drinks, and coastal setting.

Practical details that affect your day

Confirmation is provided at booking, and the mobile ticket makes the check-in process simple. The activity ends back at the original meeting point, which is useful if you are staying in Puerto Vallarta’s hotel zone or arranging a later plan from the terminal.

The tour requires good weather. If poor conditions cancel the outing, you are offered a different date or a full refund. For your own protection, avoid scheduling an important activity immediately afterward, since the experience lasts about six hours and the exact return time can depend on conditions.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the 11:00 am start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund. The cut-off follows local Puerto Vallarta time.

Pack for a beach day: swimwear, sun protection, a hat, and a way to protect your phone from spray. The supplied information does not list towels or snorkeling equipment as included, so do not assume those items come with the package.

Should you book Majahuitas Beach Day?

Book it if you want a handled-for-you beach day with boat travel, lunch, drinks, water sports, and comfortable seating in one package. The direct beach landing, included kayaks and paddleboards, and relaxed schedule make it easy to enjoy without constantly reaching for your wallet.

Skip it if you want a small private excursion, a strict snorkeling focus, or the lowest-cost way to reach a beach. At $129, plus the possible MX$40 port fee, this is a full-service outing rather than a simple transport option.

For most people, the best reason to book is the combination of the boat ride and the beach club. Majahuitas gives you a more removed coastal setting, while the organized meal and lounge areas keep the day comfortable. Just treat snorkeling as optional, confirm the port fee, and expect a shared group experience.
