Overview

How much of Puerto Rico can you see on one day? Quite a lot. Puerto Rico is small, and has good infrastructure (road) so is easy to move from one place to the other. So, if your flight makes a long layover in PR, or if you stop on a cruise, or you want to see as much as possible in one day, this is the tour for you. You will get a full tour of Old San Juan (know the history and culture of Puerto Rico), a beach forest (mangroves, lagoons), a cave and a glimpse of the rain forest. This is not a regular commercial tour. I will show you different places. I will give you a lot of interesting information in a fun/informal way. We can be spontaneous. You can get to "feel", "breath" and "enjoy" Puerto Rico.

Itinerary

  • Isla Verde (Pass By)

    Named after a small cay out of the coast of Carolina. An important tourism destination located close to the San Juan International Airport. There are good restaurants in the area, if you get hungry.

  • Playa Pinones (Pass By)

    A very interesting settlement full of natural resources and Afro-American culture. The residents of Pinones are descendants of the slaves that were liberated during the last few centuries.

  • Bosque Estatal de Pinones

    The largest protected mangrove forest in Puerto Rico. We can visit the Pinones Lagoon, a beautiful place that most people (including locals) don't know it exists. Get to know the history and culture of our African-American descendants.

    1 hour

  • Loiza Aldea (Pass By)

    Visit the capital of the Afro-American culture in Puerto Rico. Get to know our music, traditions and cultural activities.

  • Playa Vacia Talega (Pass By)

    We will drive by some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever see. If you want to go for a swim, we can stop and enjoy the warm water. Bring your swimsuit, just in case. This is a private tour, we can customize it according to your needs.

  • Parque Historico Cueva Maria de la Cruz

    Puerto Rico has an amazing cave system. Maria de la Cruz is a relatively small cave (for Puerto Rican standards), but is an important archeological site. Is a great place to experience our geography, fauna and flora. Sometimes they have cultural activities that include African dances.

Get to know the history of one of the oldest cities in the Hemisphere (America). If you want to go into the forts (the largest built on the Hemisphere), we can do a tour inside* (the cover charge is $10/adult). If you want to go to La Perla (iconic town), I can take you there. We can go into the oldest churches in America. Know how locals live in Puerto Rico. This is a private tour, so it is up to you how long you want to stay on each stop. *Some attractions might be closed because of the COVID.

    3 hours

A perfect day in San Juan

Published on Apr, 2025

Javier was a fantastic guide showing us the highlights of San Juan during a port stop on our Disney cruise. We traveled with children and he was very accommodating to their needs. Javier provided us with an abbreviated tour of the fort, enjoyed a Puerto Rican lunch with us and then took us to a local beach where we enjoyed an afternoon swim before heading back to the ship. I would highly recommend Javier and this tour. It was very relaxed and he focused on how we wanted to spend the day in Puerto Rico. Javier speaks excellent English and kept the kids engaged during the historical discussions about Puerto Rico and San Juan. Thank you, Javier!

Great private tour

Published on Mar, 2025

We loved our private tour. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and was such a nice guy. We loved seeing the Castillo and the rain forest. Our lunch was wonderful at the place he picked for us. All in all we really enjoyed out time we spent getting to know Puerto Rico.

The best day in Puerto Rico.

Published on Jan, 2025

Javier was a wonderful tour guide. He let us customize our experience and we were able to do everything we were hoping to do. We went on a hike, swam in the river and toured San Juan. He has a wealth of information and this made the tour even more interesting. It was the perfect day that ended with the best lunch we’ve had on the island.

Truly, the perfect day in Puerto Rico

Published on Jan, 2025

Javier was a wonderful tour guide. We were able to customize our tour and ended up having an absolutely wonderful experience. We hiked in the rainforest, swam in the river, toured old San Juan and finished the day with the best lunch we’ve had since being on the island. The amount of information and knowledge that Javier has made the day perfect. I would highly recommend this tour. I am including a few pictures from our day.

Great day!

Published on Nov, 2024

Javier did a great job of acquainting us with his city. Easy responsive communication beforehand so no worries. He was personable, knowledgeable and we were especially grateful for how well he accommodated my husband’s disability.
