How often does the water taxi run? How long to Yelapa? How much does it cost? Taking my 82 yr old mom....is the sea rough, or does it just depend on the weather? Thanks!

There are three runs in the morning starting at 1030.

The time depends on how many people if any get off at Las Animas. Typically 40 minutes. The water is usually rough but not scary. Sit at the back for least impact.

ISTR the price is around 200p but make sure to shop around.
Whether or not it is rough totally depends on the weather/tides. It is usually smoother in the morning and rougher in the afternoon when the wind picks up.

Make sure you check with them before you buy your tickets what their options are for gettiing on and off the boat. Getting off and on the boat can be difficult even at the pier. There are times they load and unload right at the beach which means you have to climb over the side of the boat and into the water, which might not be an easy feat for your 82-year-old mother.
Thanks!
Appreciate your input!
