My Puerto Rico tour was unforgettable, thanks to our incredible guide, Julio. His deep passion for the island and its history made every stop special. From the awe-inspiring Arecibo Observatory to the stunning beaches of Rincón, Aguadilla, and Isabela, Julio’s insights brought each place to life. He led us to hidden gems like Crash Boat Beach and the Guajataca Tunnel, sharing fascinating stories and ensuring we had plenty of time to soak in the beauty. Julio’s warmth and knowledge made this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone visiting Puerto Rico.

this tour was amazing. I highly recommend it. Steve thw druvwr and guide and Frank the boat captain were fabulous. I ate the best fish tacos anywhere. the sand bar was nice. I would bring food for the tampons if that is allowed. the bioluminescent bay was out of this world. I would suggest to people to bring at least 2 towels per person and don't wear bug repellant. (the kayak tours recommend bug repel)lant.

The day trip to Ponce was everything we hoped for. Sarah was an excellent guide and because we were the only ones on the tour, Sarah took us to all the places we wanted to see and more. The pork road lunch was excellent. Highly recommended… Thank you…

Fabian was an excellent guide. He's knowledgeable about the country's history and was able to answer all of our questions. He was personable and friendly. Definitely recommend this trip!

Amazing tour guide! Very informative and great spirit and attitude, makes the tour that much better…would highly recommend!!
