Top Puerto Rico Day Trips

We had a really wonderful time with Andrea. She was so caring and thoughtful and knowledgeable. She was also fun and very entertaining! She took us through el Yunque step by step and taught us so much history and shared what I imagine is a really unique and restorative perspective of nature and adventure. She even took and shared photos for us so we could focus on being in the moment and really enjoy all the nature. Finally, she gave us a huge list of recommendations afterwards to help us for the rest of our trip. We were all so glad to have her as our guide, I think the experience would have been very different with some of the other guides we saw on the trails, but we wouldn’t have had it any other way. I don’t normally do reviews, but I feel like she really did earn a great one so I hope it did her justice.

Stephanie was amazing. She took her time and provided historical, current, and future context about the cities of Old San Juan and Loíza. I felt really comfortable traveling solo and learning about art history while connecting with others on the tour. This experience was particularly great because, although it was hot outside, the van had crisp air conditioning. Stephanie provided water bottles, and we had the chance to explore each location on our own. It was worth every penny.

It was a great day, some hiking, some scrambling over rocks and water fun. Things that would have helped to know: Don’t take anything but a small dry bag, towel and water bottle. You’ll leave it all on the bus. Pay for your smoothie after you order it, not when you pick it up. Wear your eye glasses on the hike. Leave them at the first water area. Hike up to the falls without them.

Our driver Jonathan was very nice and communicative. He made the trip very smooth. My boyfriend and I didn’t realize the return ferry from Culebra docked at a different location right next to where we were dropped off so we missed our ferry. Jonathan helped us find a ride home so he didn’t have to worry. 5 star service.

This was an amazing experience- the crew was awesome (Captain Edgar and Oscar were great!), the snorkeling was good, the lunch was incredible- best turkey sandwich I’ve ever had! The bean and pasta salad sides were delicious. Really impressed at how yummy the food was, and the passion fruit rum drinks were definitely refreshing. The swim/beach time at the island was exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy the beautiful Caribbean vibe. Would highly recommend this trip!

This was a great experience with respectable company! We were supposed to do the 8:45 tour and received a phone call earlier in the day letting us know that due to circumstances out of their control, the bay wasn’t glowing much. They offered a full refund or the ability to keep our time slot or switch to an earlier time to enjoy the sight of the mangroves. We really appreciated the heads up and ultimately decided on the 6:45 tour. The kayak out to the bay was beautiful and well worth the trip! As it got dark, they put us all under large tarps to try and see whatever bioluminescence we could. Unfortunately, kayak on my side of the cluster weren’t able to spot any, but my husband and son did. The journey back through the mangroves in the dark was also beautiful! I’m actually very happy we switched to the earlier time as we were able to experience the journey in both the light and the dark. We’re experienced kayakers (although going tandem was a whole new experience in itself) so I can’t speak much on this experience for new kayakers. We all still received a quick explanation on how to hold and move the paddles, turn, etc. There’s some minor current where you depart/return but not once you get into the mangroves or the bio bay. The beginners in the group seemed to do fine and the one couple that struggled with the heavier current upon return was towed in by one of the guides.
