Top Puerto Rico Day Trips

It was so fun!! Kalob was such an amazing guide, I had so much fun and got great pictures from the trip, time passed by so fast I didn’t even noticed, the food we got was very tasty and it was such a dream, i completely loved it, thank you so much for doing this!!

Brandon was a wonderful tour guide and made our entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. He was friendly, professional, and always willing to answer questions. His knowledge and enthusiasm kept everyone engaged throughout the tour, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. Brandon’s positive attitude and attention to detail truly stood out and made the experience memorable. It was clear that he cares about providing excellent service and creating a great experience for his guests. I would highly recommend Brandon as a tour guide and would gladly join another tour with him.

Though we got an email the day before that the snorkeling would not be possible near the shores of Culebra Island due to strong currents (which would also cancel the Flamingo Bay trip) and instead we would be going to Vieques Island. The tour company gave us an option to cancel the tour or rebook it at a future date. We decided to stick with it since it was at short notice given the few days we had in Puerto Rico. To our surprise, based on the weather conditions on the day of departure, the crew was able to stick to the original itinerary to Culebra Island. The crew was friendly, courteous and very professional. One thing I would say is if someone has motion sickness, I would consider avoiding the tour or taking some medicine prior to boarding, since waves can be quite choppy sometimes. One of the passengers had quite a tough time dealing with it.

It’s definitely a good walking tour but our guide Michelle was very thoughtful and patient considering our group had seniors. Michelle was very knowledgeable and passionate about the culture/history of Puerto Rico. Which made the group ask questions along our tour. Definitely recommend Michelle!

Highly recommend! Our driver, Tito was professional and friendly and guided us on what to expect from the ferry experience to the Island. He also assisted with travel arrangements on the island. He was on time and accessible at the number provided. We had a great experience!

We did the combined rainforest + bio bay excursion and overall it was such a fun, memorable day. Pickup was smooth and easy, and the ride to El Yunque National Forest was about an hour. Once there, the hike was moderate. Its definitely manageable, but you’ll want to be comfortable walking on uneven terrain. There were a few sections where we had to climb over rocks, and they can get pretty slippery, so good hiking shoes are a must (just know they will get completely soaked during the river portions). Our guides, Bradley and Amauri, were amazing, super fun, energetic, and made the whole experience feel safe and organized. The river portion was a highlight: we did a natural waterslide, rope swing, and a few cliff jumps. They also did a great job taking photos for us, which meant we could leave our phones in the van and just enjoy everything. After the rainforest, we got snacks, drinks, and even beer, which was a nice touch before heading to the bio bay. The second part of the tour was kayaking in Bioluminescent Bay. The kayaking itself was really fun especially being out on the water in the dark, and the stars were incredibly clear. They also provided bug spray, which was appreciated. That said, the bioluminescence was pretty minimal during our trip (we were told it might be due to seaweed conditions), so that part didn’t quite live up to expectations visually. Also, while they mentioned they’d take photos during the bio bay portion, we only received a few low-quality ones, nothing compared to the great photos from the rainforest. Overall, it was a full, adventure-packed day and definitely worth doing. The rainforest portion was the standout, and the guides really made the experience. Just go in knowing the bio bay visibility can vary depending on conditions.

Even if you have been to Puerto Rico before this is a great tour for the history of San Juan, exploring two places ,Loiza and Santurce, that you would probably never go on your own. Stephanie, our guide is knowledgeable and definitely has a great love for " the enchanted island" She also gave us terrific recommendations fir restaurants! Highly recommend!!!

We had an amazing time! Because of choppy waters, we were diverted to another beach, but it didn't stop anyone from having a good time. There were plenty of water toys and the water itself was warm and inviting. The lunch was also pretty good, offering chicken sandwiches and burgers. The on-board drinks were also wonderful. As a whole, my family was very well taken care of, and I would definitely recommend East Island Excursions. Their crew was attentive and extremely helpful!
