Top Puerto Rico Outdoor Activities

We chose this particular tour because it was one of the few I could find that didn't include transportation. We were staying in Luquillo and didn't want to drive to San Juan and back just for the van ride. We met Luis near el Yunque and followed him to meet up with Raymond and the other half of our group at the rainforest. They were both kind and had so much to teach us about el Yunque! I had considered touring the rainforest without a guide, but there's no way we would have found the beautiful spots without Luis and Raymond. Their guidance (and help crossing the rocks) was worth every penny of the tour price. I would recommend this to anyone as long as they don't have challenges with mobility. One tip: We saw a lot of rainforest but the bulk of the time spent here was for the waterslides and cliff jumping. If you're thinking about this tour but don't want to do the slides, jumps, or rope swing, you'll be sitting at the base of the waterfall for a long time while the rest of your group plays around. I don't think it would be worth booking this particular tour if you aren't interested in the adventurous parts. We had lunch plans already, but at the end of the tour we were offered the chance to follow Raymond and the group to a local lunch spot. It would have been fun to spend more time with the group if we didn't have something else booked, so keep that in mind! ALSO! Don't wear sunscreen or bug spray. It's damaging for the plants in the rainforest, and you'll feel better having done your part to preserve this natural wonder.

We booked this experience at the last minute and did not know what to expect. Jean did an excellent job of breaking the ice and keeping us all laughing during the dance instruction. He broke the steps down in a way that was easy to follow and my partner and I enjoyed practicing the steps we learned. The beach and the sunset provided a great ambience.

This was a very cool experience. My friend and I did the sunset 6:15 time. It would have been helpful to know in advance that the mosquitoes are THICK. I decided to wear my clothes into the water to cover more skin, plus we doused ourselves with (non DEET) bug repellent. We did a good job and didn’t get eaten alive, but other people in the group wore swim suits or athletic shorts and complained about the bugs. You have to walk through the water to get into the kayak, so water shoes would be a good idea. There is nowhere to rinse off after, so bring a towel and a change of clothes. Also if you’d like to take photos, bring a waterproof phone case. Fajardo is about an hour away from San Juan, and we ended up renting a car. Turned out half the price of the car services we looked at. If you do want to set up a service from San Juan, it’ll be around $250 and the sunset time is 5:45-8:15/30. There is a nice parking lot, so that’s easy. It was really fun to kayak through the mangrove trees, even after dark. :)
