2.San Juan Sunset Harbor Boat Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,320 reviews · from $109

Set out from San Juan Bay with guide Rafael and a small group of up to 36 people. You will pass Old San Juan, El Morro, La Fortaleza, and Casa Bacardi as the light fades, with snacks, beer, rum punch, soda, and water served on board. Expect history, music, and a party mood.

“This was a pleasant sunset excursion. The tour guide was delightful and he shared some important information about San Juan’s history and the current state of affairs. The boat is accessible, safe and easy to access for all ages and abilities. The views were nice, and the music was a fun addition. One note- I would not recommend taking the shuttle bus. If you don’t mind spending a few extras dollars on a cab then you’ll save yourself some time.”

“Don't know if this was the cheapest one. It sure looked like it though. Most of the people were friendly. The kicker was that on the bioluminescent bay the lead guide sort of ditched us. I was rammed multiple times by other guests. I backed up to get out of their way and the lead guide just sort of took off. She couldn't have heard me screaming at her if she tried.
