2.3 Tours in 1 Day: Old San Juan, Rainforest, Beach with Transport

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 366 reviews · from $67

Spend 6 to 8 hours touring Old San Juan by vehicle, stopping for tropical fruit, walking to two natural waterslides in El Yunque, and relaxing at Luquillo Beach. Guides such as Gabriel, William, Hector, and Bryant are noted for history, safety help, and good humor. Expect rocky, muddy terrain and a busy schedule.

“Overall great experience. You get 3 stops in old San Juan, 1 outside the forts, 1 by the capital, and 1 at the PR sign near the convention center. Then a drive to a stop for lunch at a roadside stand. Chicken empanadas were good and cheap. Smoothies were very sugary like from a mix. The rain forest is next and you do really need water shoes and socks - expect to trash them afterwards. The hike is decent b/c of slope and rocks and trees in the path. The socks help when doing the water slides b/c of the very pebbled river bottom. The 3rd stop of the beach…”

Kayak for about 90 minutes on Vieques’ famous Mosquito Bay, including roughly an hour on the glowing water.

The silver lining is I dropped our rental car key and the driver came running and returned the key. He was God send to us. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts, we would have got stranded without the car key.”
