Unforgettable Sunset Sail

The sunset sail on the J30 was the highlight of our trip. No engine noise, just the wind and the beautiful views of El Morro. The drinks were flowing and the captain was so knowledgeable!

Mofongo and History!

The food tour exceeded all expectations. Our guide explained the history of San Juan while we ate the best mofongo of our lives. 3 hours flew by!

Fun Mini Boat Adventure

Driving your own boat is a blast! It gets a bit bumpy in the bay but seeing the forts from the water is a completely different perspective. Highly recommend for couples.

Turtles everywhere!

We did the turtle spotting snorkel and saw four turtles! The guide was great at finding them and the video they sent afterward was professional quality. Well worth the $50.

Great Walking Tour

The walking tour of San Cristobal was very informative. Be prepared for a lot of walking on hills, but the panoramic views from the top of the castle are worth every step.
