Majahuitas feels like a secret coastline. You start with a Banderas Bay cruise and reach a beach that’s only accessible by sea, which instantly makes the day feel special instead of rushed. I love how the schedule gives you quiet time on arrival, then swaps in just enough water fun to keep things lively without exhausting you.

My second favorite part is the comfort at the boho-style beach club, with Balinese beds, giant poufs, and lounge areas that make it easy to stretch out. One thing to plan for: snorkeling can be hit-or-miss because visibility may be murky at times, so don’t build your day around expecting crystal-clear reefs.

Key highlights to know before you go

• Sea access first, beach time second: The day starts with a boat ride through Banderas Bay before you land on Majahuitas.
• Comfy beach-club seating: Think Balinese beds, poufs, and lounge space that feels built for hanging out.
• Water activities are included: Paddleboard and kayak time come with your package.
• Lunch is part of the all-inclusive deal: BBQ lunch plus desserts, with vegetarian options.
• Drinks are included too: Beer, wine, and soft drinks are on the menu as part of the package.

Majahuitas Beach Day: what makes it different in Puerto Vallarta

Majahuitas is the kind of beach day that works because you don’t fight the city. You’re headed out by water, and the whole vibe changes as soon as you’re cruising across the bay.

This beach is described as secluded, with golden sand and calm atmosphere—great if you want a break from the noise of Puerto Vallarta. And because you arrive by sea, you also get that “vacation mode” feeling right away. No walking, no long shuttles, just a boat ride and then time to relax.

The package also covers the stuff that usually ruins beach days: transport, lunch, and basic drinks. You can focus on doing one or two water activities, then spending the rest of the day on the sand or in those comfy seating areas.

From Vallarta Adventures to Banderas Bay: the 11:00am start

Your tour starts at 11:00am at Vallarta Adventures, Terminal Marítima N Puerto Mágico (Heroica Escuela Naval area). The day is designed to move at a beach-day pace, not an all-day marathon.

After you check in, you’ll board a water transportation ride and head through Banderas Bay toward Majahuitas. This is more than just travel time. The ride gives you coastal views and a sense of stepping out of town and into a quieter setting.

If you care about the boat ride, you’ll probably enjoy it more if you choose your spot intentionally. One review noted the best view was on the front of the boat and that you’ll get splashed with waves along the way, which can actually feel refreshing in the heat.

You’re also not stuck with a huge crowd. The tour listing says the group can be up to 150 travelers, which is sizeable, but it still tends to feel manageable for a beach-day excursion like this.

Arriving at the beach club: comfort matters more than you think

Once you reach Majahuitas, the experience shifts fast from movement to comfort. The landing is designed to get you onto the beach without a long ordeal. In one account, the boat pulled up close enough that people simply walked down a ramp to reach the sand, rather than having to swim in.

From there, you’ll find the boho-chic beach club setup: Balinese beds, giant poufs, and lounge seating. This is one of those details that seems small until you’re there. A beach day can go two ways: either you’re hunting for shade and a place to sit, or you’re relaxed in minutes. This layout is meant for the second option.

Take a few minutes when you arrive to decide where you want to “base camp.” If you want active time, keep gear close and pick a spot within easy reach of the water. If you want a chill day, choose a lounge area where you can switch between sun and shade without moving too much.

And yes, the setting is surrounded by lush Sierra Madre jungle and coastal views. That combo helps the day feel bigger than just a beach. It’s more like you’ve landed in a pocket of nature.

Water time at Majahuitas: paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkeling reality

Your package includes paddleboard and kayak time, plus water transportation. That means you’re not spending the afternoon watching other people have fun while you sit on the sand waiting for something to happen.

Paddleboarding is great when the water feels calm and you want an easy workout that doesn’t feel like training. Kayaking is more about control and exploring small changes in the coastline, and it can be a nice break if you’re not in a sprint mood.

Snorkeling is mentioned as something you can enjoy at Majahuitas, but don’t assume the best visibility every day. One review shared that late April conditions were murky, making snorkeling difficult even with their own gear. That didn’t ruin the day, but it was a useful expectation check.

So here’s the practical way to think about it: go for snorkeling if you enjoy the idea, but treat it like a bonus. Your day is still strong even if underwater visibility isn’t great, because the included paddleboard and kayak time keeps you engaged.

Because this is a water-focused beach day, it helps if you have moderate physical fitness. You don’t need to be athletic, but you should be comfortable moving in and around the water and getting in and out of watercraft.

BBQ lunch and included drinks: the all-inclusive part you’ll feel

Food and drinks are built into the experience, and that matters because it removes decision fatigue. You’re not searching for lunch, calculating prices, or wondering if you’ll find anything you like.

Your BBQ lunch includes grilled items like ribs and chicken, plus vegetarian options, and tropical desserts. This is a more satisfying spread than the typical burger-and-chips style “beach lunch,” especially if your group has different eating preferences.

Alcoholic beverages are included too: beer, wine, and soft drinks. That’s a classic all-inclusive setup, and it usually means you can keep the day flowing without stopping for purchases.

One review mentioned only ordering French fries and found them a bit expensive, but tasty. That’s a useful clue if you’re trying to budget for extra snacks beyond the included BBQ. The main meal should cover you, but add-ons can cost more than you expect on a beach-club setting.

If you want to keep the day comfortable, eat after your first round in the water or during a slower stretch. Lunch timing can also affect how quickly you’re ready to relax again in those loungers.

How the pace works in a 6-hour beach day

This tour runs for about 6 hours, and the timing is set up for a full beach experience without burning your whole day. You start at 11:00am and return back to the same meeting point by the end of the activity.

That makes it a good choice if you want something more than a quick stop, but you still want your evening free. It also helps if you’re traveling with family or friends who don’t all want the same intensity level. The day naturally splits into segments: boat ride, arrival and settling in, water activities, lunch, then downtime.

Because the day is structured but not packed, it’s easy to adjust. You can do paddleboarding and kayaking and still have plenty of time to lounge. Or if water activities aren’t your thing, you can focus on relaxing and eating while still getting the beach-club comfort.

Price and value: why $129 can be a fair deal here

At $129 per person, this isn’t a budget excursion, but it’s also not just paying for a taxi to a beach. You’re paying for a full package that bundles key parts of a beach day: water transportation, paddleboard and kayak use, lunch BBQ with desserts, and alcoholic drinks.

Here’s where the value shows up for you:

• If you’d otherwise pay separately for boat access, rentals, and food, the total adds up fast.
• You also get a beach-club environment with comfortable seating, not just a patch of sand.
• The included drinks reduce spending friction, especially if you’re traveling with someone who enjoys a beer or glass of wine with lunch.

You’ll get the most value if you actually use the included activities and plan to eat on-site. If you show up just to sit and skip water fun, you might feel like you paid for things you didn’t fully use. But if you’ll enjoy at least one paddleboard or kayak session, the cost starts to feel much more reasonable.

Who this Majahuitas day suits best

I think Majahuitas Beach Day is a strong fit for people who want a calm escape with a few active options. It’s especially good for families and friend groups who can agree on one goal: relax at a beautiful beach with food and drinks handled.

It’s also a great option if you like the idea of a boat ride as part of the experience. The water transportation isn’t just logistics; it’s part of the story of the day.

You’ll want to be realistic about snorkeling expectations. If you’re a serious snorkeler hoping for top-tier visibility, plan for the possibility that the water can be murky at times. If you’re flexible, you’ll still be happy with the beach and the included water toys.

If you’re sensitive to physical effort, stick close to lounge areas and treat paddleboarding/kayaking as optional intensity. The listing calls for moderate physical fitness, so you should feel comfortable in and around water, but you don’t need to be a pro.

Should you book this Majahuitas all-inclusive beach day?

Book it if you want a low-stress beach day with transport, food, and drinks included, plus paddleboard and kayak time. The comfort factor at the beach club is a big reason to consider it, because it turns the day into real downtime, not a “find a spot and hope” situation.

Skip or think twice if your main goal is top-quality snorkeling every time. Visibility can vary, and you don’t want the day to hinge on seeing underwater.

My call: this is one of those tours that makes sense when you want a complete package and you’ll use the included activities. If that’s your vibe, you’ll likely leave feeling like you spent your time well.
