Nope...not wrong....that is my first holiday in PV this year...well actually Bucerias with my husband, two daughters and another family. I will change the calendar when I get back from the first holiday!
I would schedule a trip from the Marina or Paradise in Nuevo. The pier was closed this week! Boca if your luggage is waterproof!
So...no water taxis?? To Yelapa etc??
I personally like taking the bus to Boca, and then catching a water taxi. I believe it is cheaper this way too! Although probably not helpful if you wanted to go north :lol:
Sheesh, 2 trips to P.V. in such a short time. Envy, envy. envy.
they will be picking up from the beach, pretty straightforward and easy (except for elderly), business as usual.

however, it´s true that from Boca is significantly cheaper (going to south shore), and they have a new pier (before it was directly from the beach).

There will be more than enough boats ready to take you because season so far has been quite bad...
Tourism is up compared to previous months (it´s high season) and compared to last year (only slightly, and last year was worst in history), the problem is that money inflows from tourism in Vallarta are around 30-40% below those in 2008... restaurants and retail being the ones that are suffering most. Of course, there will always be exceptions.

We all need to support Vallarta and work more on encouraging friends and family to come and visit us, every little gesture helps. And for those that arrive at all-inclusive resorts, you need to leave the hotel from time to time and visit all the natural beauty, excellent restaurants, galleries, shops, and much more attributes that Vallarta offers.

There is a very important plan to improve the destination, but it starts from us.
chris----walk to the bus stop on the corner of basideo badillo and insurgentes---catch the boca/mismaloya bus to boca de tomaltan--walk down the hill and catch the watertaxis there. beautiful scenery on the bus
Actually there is a great hike around the bend there.. Not a waste of time...just not convenient.....Its funny how two weeks in PV goes sooo much faster then two weeks at home! :)
