Yesterday while on the beach we scheduled a private panga rental seven of us in the group came out $40 an hour. We can go anywhere we want even bring our own food and drinks. A great deal imo.

in the hotel zone there are car rentals or near the airport all of the major brands are available. driving can be a challenge due to a few different types of turning lanes randy

Last time I was there the horses were readily available after a short walk up the hill.

It's not a really high waterfall, more of a cascading down the rocks. But it's pretty and s fun walk.

Mahajuitas is a public beach and great for snorkeling. Also Los Arcos are is fun. It's best to charter a private Panga (you can find panga rental near Lost Muertos Pier, I wouldn't pay more than 700 or 800 pesos/hr for a panga boat (not a yacht) and make a few stops along the way. Start from Los Muertos Beach (versus the Marina). I would suggest leaving around 10am to avoid Vallarta Adventure Tours. I would avoid Vallarta Adventure tours altogether (just my opinion as they have swim with dolphin tours which I'm against).

The waterfall is a casual 30 minute walk inland from the end of the central village road. It's accessed by a well marked, trodden trail. The village offers horseback rides to the waterfall and it's cozy waterside cafe. The horses and the villagers keep the trail well marked.
