Had an absolute blast in La Parguera on this tour. Our guide Arturo was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and showed us all the great spots to swim and even some secret areas with less people. He had a ton of equipment we didn't know to bring especially water shoes! Will definitely use Aventuras Tropicales when we visit again. Don't skip La Parguera, it's worth the trip!

      caracoles tour

      it was a beautiful day. it was a beautiful location. that was perfect but... I feel that our tour guide was not prepared as he should be. the boat was not clean. it was very messy. there was nowhere for us to put our things and then he went to pick up four other people so we were at a location Will we all have to be in the water all the time and maybe two at a time? could be on the boat if you got tired of being in the water. he did not have enough floats for eight people. he only had three and that was it and two kayaks. his snacks were so so but he forgot them and had to go back and get them when he picked up the second group. once again, this guy is super super nice. talks too much in my opinion and wanted to be part of the group instead of being the guy and the tour in the hostess and taking care of our needs. I think the part that bothered me the most was how dirty his boat was. anyway, I love the location they took it, but if this is the guy who's going to do the tour I won't recommend it to someone else. we left early because of that we just didn't not feel comfortable out there and he's both so instead of staying the whole 4 hours when we left after 2 hours

      Wow this is not true and ii was very nice with u

      Come prepared

      Rachel_R, Apr 2026
      While the owner is very kind this is not really a tour and there was no kayak. Essentially a ride to a sand bar/some mangroves where we were dropped off in the water to carry our things around. Could be a more relaxing day if we had been more prepared. Bring water shoes as you have to walk across corals/rocks, a small raft or noodle, and food and drinks. A bottle of water and small bag of Fritos were provided on the ride back.

      Fun time

      Arturo was hospitable and fun throughout. The group consisted of my partner and I and a couple. We were met outside the dock with a small boat which took us about 10 mins to get to Cayo Caracoles. It was beautiful on a weekday with not a lot of people. The water surrounding the mangroves were calm, but beyond the bay was windy and a bit choppy. Apparently you can walk across the water to get to the other land masses, but I was content with where we were. Although there was not much to see, we used his kayak and snorkel gear and enjoyed the relaxing water. Chips and water were provided on the trip. I would go on this tour again with Arturo!

      Amazing experience! King...

      Amazing experience! King Arthur was a wonderful captain. The place is beautiful but crowded so our captain took us to a more secluded area which was good!

      This was one of the best...

      This was one of the best excursions we did thanks to our captain Arturo! He was so welcoming and gave us such a good experienced. He provided kayaks, snorkel gear, and floaters. He even taught me how to swim. We loved it so much that we booked the bioluminescent bay experience with him. This was also amazing and better than the one in fajardo because you actually get to swim in the water. 1000/10 experience and would recommend to anyone who is coming to La parguera!

      We loved the experience!...

      Fatima_B, Nov 2025
      We loved the experience! the grove we were taken to was so calm and beautiful color, we did kayaking and snorkeling and saw a loooot of fish!

      Sunny Day

      Melanie_R, Nov 2025
      We had a great day on and in the water. What an amazing spot! Our captain took us on a tour along the shore to see the many homes right on the water and we also enjoyed watching the kite surfers in the area while we relaxed and wandered.

      thank you

      We had an incredible time...

      Tony_G, Sep 2025
      We had an incredible time with Capt Arturo and his son Randy. The location is simply amazing with some of the clearest water you will ever see. We saw lots of colorful fish, stingrays and these huge 3ft fish that just swim around you. We were provided with snacks and drinks and Arturo explained everything about the area. Randy was kind enough to be our photographer and took fantastic pics. We will definitely do this trip again with Arturo and Randy. I do recommend that you take water shoes, as there are sharp rocks around the mangroves.

      Best experience in PR

      Mona_R, May 2025
      Best most funnest day in PR. Arturo was amazing, took us to the most relaxing spots, took us around to what use to be a natural pool, and there he showed me how to swim. I left that day knowing how to swim.
