Amazing Day on the Waves: Perfect for All Ages and Great Vibes!

Sonia_M, Sep 2026
It was fun . We thoroughly enjoyed it. From driver to guide , everyone were super friendly and nice.

Loved the staff! Everything else was low budget.

Amy_B, Sep 2026
The staff was amazing! The ad photo is deceiving. Everything else was low budget. The drinks were sangria in a capri sun like pouch, beer and soft drinks. The food was inedible, the pretzels were soggy and the grapes were moldy.

Okay Tour

Emily_J, Sep 2026
It was a cute tour and I enjoyed the views but then they passed out the little snack lunch box I was the only person they skipped over. Literally everyone in front of me and both sides got one. I had to get up to get mine 10 mins after they passed it out.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Emily, We apologies for this inconvenience and we will again dress our training policy to see where we fail. This is a misstep that never happens in our expereience

Fun filled tour with a little history, a little music and beautiful scenes of San Juan from the harbor.

Slightly overpriced

Genesis_H, Sep 2026
Our driver & tour guide were great - informative, polite & fun, and took pics of us. But the drinks provided were so-so (1 bagged sangria & 1 beer can option) & the tour/trip itself was eh… I expected more for the price to be honest.

This was great trip. From the shuttle driver to the tour guides on the boat. This was an excellent way to spend the last day in Puerto Rico. I loved seeing old San Juan from a boat.

Amazing views with family!

Discover San Juan at Sunset

Tonya_F, Aug 2026
This boat ride was both educational and fun. Rafael did a great job keeping the group engaged and entertained. There were plenty of drinks and the charcuterie was a nice touch. Once the sun set, the party lights came out and the music was turned up a notch. It was a great way to be introduced to San Juan.

A wonderful tour of the harbor!

Kyle_K, Aug 2026
Rafael was a fantastic tour guide! Miguel was a wonderful first mate and photographer! And the captain got us all around safely 😄 My only regret is not getting to see La Perla from the ocean, but the tour stops just short of there. All the same, I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Fun tour

Grecia_R, Aug 2026
Fun Experience, the crew was very nice and friendly, they went around and made sure everyone was having a good time and handed out drinks. They sit the big groups first to make sure everyone can sit together.

Sunset Boat Tour

Cynthia_B, Aug 2026
It was a very nice ride! I would do it again! We learned about Puerto Rico in a wonderful setting. The "snacks" that were provided were very good. Instead of chips or crackers we had wrap sandwiches, felt more like a meal. Definitely check it out!

An Amazing sunset cruise !

Sonya_D, Aug 2026
This was my 59th birthday and the sunset cruise was amazing. My husband and I had a great time. The Captain and all the staff were so friendly and very helpful. It was an excellent tour.

Ok but dont know that I'd do it again.

renee_q, Aug 2026
This was kind of a hole filler for our schedule. Seemed a little scattered. We ended up not having a great sunset so it was just some strangers on a boat. I liked that it included transportation and our group was fine but I dont know that I'd seek it out again.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the included transportation for your group. As a tropical island, our weather and sunsets can have changing moods, and unfortunately, we can’t control Mother Nature! We’re sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations, but we appreciate you giving us a try.

Great Sunset Boat tour

Doniece_W, Aug 2026
I loved the tour! It was so fun and the views were breathtaking. I got so many pictures. The tour guides were so helpful. They took pictures of everyone and they also let everyone sit in the captain seat and drive. It was so nice. They also provide snacks and drinks. I definitely recommend. It’s a great couple or family excursion

Anika_J, Jul 2026
5/5 experience. Our shuttle driver, Tony, was on time, kind, and very professional. The Old San Juan boat tour team: Angel, Miguel, & Fernando did a great job keeping everyone safe, provided great history on PR, and made sure everyone had a great time. The drinks were great. Good music, good energy. If this is your first time in PR, I would definitely recommend.

Perfect island tour for the fam!

Sunset cruise in Old San Juan

Carla_R, Jul 2026
It was a cute cruise to old San Juan. Rafael was our guide and he gave us a lot of information and recommendations.

Amazing!!

Terry_G, Jul 2026
The tour is fantastic! This is a must if you’re around San Juan. The best sunset cruise in the area.

Bad communication

Michael_S, Jul 2026
The day of the event I was told I would get a text from 11 am -1 pm confirming the time I would get picked up from the hotel. That never happened. My itinerary said 17:30 p/u from the Condado Valentine hotel and no one ever came. At 17:40 I called the company only for them to tell me I had to be at the harbor at 18:00 in 20 minutes. This communication dampened our anniversary boat ride
