3.Around the Island Tour From San Juan

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 181 reviews · from $147

Spend 9 to 10 hours circling Puerto Rico from San Juan in a small, air-conditioned vehicle with guide Angel. Visit Cataño, Arecibo, Hatillo, Rincón, Ponce, and many other towns, stopping for views, photos, local stories, and lunch at your own cost. Expect long drives, frequent vehicle exits, and a lively bilingual tour capped at 10 people.

“This tour was amazing and I recommend it to anyone who really wants to see and learn about Puerto Rico. Angel is so informative, engaging, and funny. It's a long day with lots of driving but you see all the parts of the island that 99% of visitors to PR don't. I guarantee you everyone you know thinks PR is just Old San Juan and the rainforest. But thanks to Angel and this amazing tour, I saw Dorado, Arecibo, Rincon, Ponce, and loads of other cool little unique off the beaten path places. Comfortable air conditioned van, English/Spanish, just light walking and nothing intense, just an amazing day.”
