Travel from San Juan to Vieques by ferry for a beach stop, dinner time in Esperanza, and a guided clear-bottom kayak trip on Mosquito Bay. Guides such as Rafael and David handle the long day, transfers, and glowing-water experience for a group of up to 12.

“Punctuality of service. However, the guide in Spanish was not adequate, although it is confirmed in the booking. We did not receive the same level of guidance as in English, they were brief comments and we had to report or clarify in each stage of the tour. This should be coordinated and guaranteed by the agency or failing that indicate that only the guide is in English and we as tourists decide which option to take. Puerto Rico has Spanish as its official language and it was a hassle for us.Auto-translated”

“Loved everything about this experience! Our tour guide was Gabriel Arturet. He was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. I loved learning about the history of the rainforest and Puerto Rico overall. There’s a little bit of hiking and some steep rocks that can be a little slippery. It can get a little muddy as well (it is a rainforest lol), so I would bring water shoes over sneakers, that’s just my preference. It was all well worth it though! We got picked up from the hotel, went down the water slides a few times, and then we went to the beach for a couple hours. The beach was very lively…”
