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!

We had a very fun experience! The water was beautiful and we got to see a lot of fish around the mangroves

Nice
10/10 Experience – Exceeded all our expectations!
Aventuras Tropicales LLC made our trip truly unforgettable. Right from the start, the service was outstanding—extremely professional, friendly, and welcoming. They made us feel safe and comfortable every step of the way.
Not only did they deliver on everything promised, but they went above and beyond to make sure we had the absolute best time. If you are looking for real adventure, a great atmosphere, and unforgettable memories, we recommend them 100%. We would definitely book with them again!
Great experience. Our tour guide was punctual and receptive to all questions and concerns. Provided us with a background on the location and proper safety on the water. He took us to the 2 main islands and guided us through the waterways which was so much fun. He was also our photographer and videographer. What more can you want from a tour than a full service experience. Above and beyond to make the trip extra memorable. Provided everything we could possibly need especially if you came unprepared. From water shoes to music to coolers with water and chips. Kayak and floaties. Such a value for the price.

Thank you very much
As an experienced traveler who regularly books excursions worldwide, I rely heavily on accurate descriptions and consistent standards. The Los Cayos excursion did not align with what was advertised.
Although the summary stated that snacks and drinks would be provided, none were offered. Safety protocols were not reviewed upon boarding, which is concerning for any maritime activity. The outing also felt rushed, with an emphasis on returning to the dock rather than creating a meaningful guest experience.
At $80 per person, the value simply wasn’t there. The only inclusion was transportation to Los Cayos for three hours—something easily accessible via water taxi for a fraction of the cost. I chose this excursion expecting a more curated, intimate experience, but that expectation was not met.
For these reasons, I cannot recommend this excursion.

With all due respect, we have 23 consecutive 5 star reviews and we always provide what we advertise. Snacks, water, kayak, snorkels and floats. We offered and the traveler refused and said she had her own.
We strive to give good service and our reviews confirm that.
Arturo, was amazing! He made sure he met all of my families need. From teaching my dad how to swim lol, giving my daughter water shoes and reassuring the girls that the fish are more afraid of them than they are of the fish. He stood with us and explained everything he was our personal tour guide. It was such a beautiful peaceful experience that we will never forget. From the snorkeling and kayaking and simple just floating through. I will definitely recommend my friends and family to book with Arturo.

This was my first time taking a tour like this, and it was absolutely incredible! I don’t know how to swim, but Arturo made me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He is funny, kind, and stayed with us throughout the whole tour, making sure everyone was having a great experience. The service was outstanding, and this was truly an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend it!

Excellent location, clear waters, nice visuals, comfortable swimming conditions. Meet up location easy find. Great bakeries along the way.
We had an awesome time with Art, our captain, and the whole tour. This is definitely a relaxing experience that allows you to decide what you would like to do. You want to snorkel? Do it! You want to kayak? Do it! You want to just chill in the water? Then do it! This would be a great way to spend time with your family and I would definitely book it again!
Great experience! The Captain stay all time with us and tour the isla. We totally recommend! We will be back.
If you are thinking about visiting La Parguera during the day, stop hesitating and book it. While most tourists only think of this area for the nighttime bio bay, doing a daytime boat tour was hands-down one of the best highlights of our entire trip to Puerto Rico. It trades the nighttime mystery for a sun-drenched, crystal-clear paradise that feels like a giant, natural swimming pool party.

Thanks you 👍

Thank you very much
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
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.

We had the kayak sit floating and sonlking we also water chips the water shoes u have to bring it and we also stay with u
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!

Thanks to u God bless
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 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! the grove we were taken to was so calm and beautiful color, we did kayaking and snorkeling and saw a loooot of fish!
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 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 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.
It was a different and fun experience, thanks to Arturo for being our tour guide and being very kind to us.
