Top Puerto Rico Day Trips

The experience was wonderful. Our guide Ingrid was very knowledgeable and friendly and provided a wealth of information about the rain forest. She made the tour engaging and the opportunity to visit El Yunque and take in the natural beauty was awesome. Would recommend to anyone considering it.

Great vibe and beautiful views! This tour is more laid back and chill not a party atmosphere if that is what you are looking for and everything is self paced including the snorkeling. I was a little disappointed that we saw zero fish snorkeling but we enjoyed the beach so much that it out weighed that.

This was an amazing experience. The staff was extremely kind and very communicative. I was running late and notified them when I should arrive by and they checked in with me to ensure I would make the trip. As for the trip, it was lovely. You meet at the ferry, take the ferry to Culebra, get in the transport and go to either the beach or the snorkeling experience then swap about 3 hours later. The beach was beautiful and the snorkeling was filled with life. The pictures were emailed to me the next day. I highly highly recommend this experience and will 100% book it again when I’m back.

The loved the kayaking trip. It's a unique experience to add to your Puerto Rico itinerary. At first I was nervous about where to meet them given that they do not have a permanent location on the beach. But, they will up in a large truck with their name on the side hauling about 20 bright green kayaks. You can't miss them! The staff is friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this tour.

Poor upfront communication with departure times. They did not contact me the day prior as the description said they would, and the pick up time was not made clear as I had been given several different times. However, after I was on the tour, it was a super enjoyable day!! Great guides and smooth transportation. They got me back to my hotel in Old San Juan by the end of the day making my trip logistics easy and the cost of the tour 100% worth it! The bioluminescent bay was incredible even on a day with a bright moon and definitely worth the trip out there!

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.

This trip was one of the highlights of our vacation! The crew were definitely the highlight of the entire thing. Yes, the beach and the snorkeling were amazing, but the attention to detail and care, quick wit and humor, and hosting of the crew made the trip what is was - memorable! They made my child and I feel safe, provided clean equipment and clear instructions. My daughter was scared of the snorkeling and they encouraged her to try again, but didn't make her feel bad when she decided to just swim around. The food was delicious and the drinks were plenty. We were able to focus on fun and relaxation because the crew created an atmosphere that allows you to let your guard down.

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!
