The 11 Best Puerto Rico Tours

Experience island living at its best on one of these guided trips.

Best Puerto Rico Tours

Coffee is a staple beverage in Puerto Rico; you can sample local brews on several food tours.

Whether you want to explore the rainforest, soar above the trees on a zip line , taste your way through Old San Juan or cruise to a nearby island, you'll find that each of these Puerto Rico tours boast friendly guides ready to share the beauty of their home. After considering both traveler opinion and expert sentiment, U.S. News determined that the following are the best Puerto Rico tours.

San Juan: Flavors Food Tours San Juan – Classic Old San Juan Food Tour

Sample the celebrated food and drink of Puerto Rico on this three-hour walking tour that visits several eateries, bakeries and coffee houses – usually five in total. Fare featured on this journey through Old San Juan's cobblestone streets typically includes ceviche, chocolate, mofongo (a Puerto Rican fried plantain dish) and a rum cocktail. Along the way, guides share insights regarding the area's history, architecture and culture, which visitors find both informative and entertaining. The food wins high marks, too.

The price – around $125 for adults and $85 for children – includes the food tastings and (for adults) a cocktail. Tours typically run daily at 10 and 11:30 a.m. as well as 3 and 4:30 p.m. Flavors of San Juan also offers a rum-focused tour and private outings.

Fajardo: Yokahú Kayak Trips – Bio Bay Kayaking

Visiting Puerto Rico's bioluminescent bays (which glow thanks to tiny microorganisms who live in the waters) is a must-do for many travelers; this trip will help you check that item off your list. The two-hour kayak tour takes travelers across Fajardo's Laguna Grande to see it glow under the moonlight. It also includes a trip across a mangrove-surrounded canal. Guides provide information regarding the bio bay and the tiny critters shining from within it. Paddlers generally find the guides helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. However, several note that even in the best viewing conditions, the bioluminescence is dim.

Tours take place every day except Sunday at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. (though times may vary slightly depending on the season). Tickets start at $55, and that includes use of a kayak, instruction on how to use it, as well as snacks. Participants must be at least 6 years old; pregnant women may not join the tour. The company also offers a combo tour of the bio bay and El Yunque National Rainforest .

Luquillo: Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park – ATV Puerto Rico

The creeks, hills and trails of Puerto Rico's rainforest can be explored atop all-terrain vehicles on this fast-paced tour. After instruction on how to drive the ATVs, a guide will lead you through Carabalí Rainforest Park (which is nestled near El Yunque rainforest) to explore Puerto Rico's natural beauty. You might even have the opportunity to dismount and take a swim in the Mameyes River, which flows from the rainforest. Motorists regularly describe the ride as great fun, the scenery as stunning and the guides as very professional.

Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park offers both one- and two-hour versions of this tour multiple times daily. Tickets start at $65 for drivers and $40 for passengers for hourlong rides and cost approximately $110 for drivers and $65 for riders during two-hour expeditions. Note: certain age, weight and height requirements apply. Other adventure tours, such as horseback riding in the forest, are also available.

Cataño: Casa Bacardí – Rum Tasting Tour

Despite its Cuban origins, Bacardí brand rum has become synonymous with Puerto Rico. During the distillery's Rum Tasting Tour, you can take guided exploration of the company's museum and learn about Bacardí's history. Your guide will then take you through a guided tasting of its premium rums paired with chocolates. Visitors find the tour highly informative and enjoyable.

The approximately 75-minute activity includes an open-air bus ride around the complex. Tours cost about $75 per person and are offered several times each day starting at 10 a.m. The price includes all tastings. Bacardí's distillery, which sits across the bay from Old San Juan, also hosts mixology classes.

San Juan Pickup: Castillo Tours – El Yunque Rainforest Tour

Explore the hiking trails, waterfalls and scenery of El Yunque National Forest on this 4 1/2-hour guided tour. As the only tropical rainforest in the national forest system, the 28,000-acre park in eastern Puerto Rico is a must-see destination. Highlights during this excursion include climbing an observation tower and snapping photos at La Coca Falls. Reviewers praise guides, who they describe as knowledgeable, personable and insightful.

Tickets cost approximately $100 for adults and $90 for children ages 4 to 11, and that includes round-trip hotel transportation. Pickups occur between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. Tours are offered year-round on Thursday and Saturday. Castillo Tours also operates excursions to Fajardo and Cueva Ventana , among others.

Fajardo: Puerto Rico Bio Bay Tours – Bioluminescent Bay Night Kayak Adventure

While the bioluminescent bay (and the organisms that cause it to glow) may be the main attraction of this kayak outing, the journey also spotlights other species of northeastern Puerto Rico's flora and fauna. Birds, mangroves and more may be glimpsed during this trip from the village of Las Croabas to Laguna Grande in Fajardo. Guides impress tour-takers with their professionalism and attentiveness. However, some kayakers express disappointment that the bay isn't as bright as they hoped.

This tour is offered year-round Monday through Saturday. Tours depart around 6 p.m. The tour lasts about three hours, with around two hours of kayaking, plus time for safety instruction and post-ride snacks. Tickets cost approximately $55 per person and participants must be at least 6 years old. The company also operates a full moon kayak trip.

Best Puerto Rico Tours

Strolling the colorful streets of Old San Juan is a must-do activity when visiting Puerto RIco.

San Juan: Spoon – Old San Juan Walk & Taste Tour

Stroll among Old San Juan's gorgeous buildings while sampling Puerto Rican delicacies on this approximately three-hour outing. The tour starts near El Morro and stops at four locally-owned eateries for tastes of traditional pastries, beans and rice, single-origin coffee and, of course, mofongo and two rum cocktails. Food enthusiasts rave about both the tasty fare and the knowledgeable guides.

Tours are generally offered daily, starting at 10 a.m. Groups are limited to 12 people. Tickets, which cover food and beverages, cost approximately $130 for adults and $110 for children ages 3 to 12. Spoon also offers a sunset version of the tour, among other options.

[View & Book Tickets: Option 1 | Option 2 .]

San Juan Pickup: Bespoke Lifestyle Management – El Yunque Rainforest and BioBay Combo Tour

This full-day tour combines two of the best-known things to do in Puerto Rico: a hike through the island's rainforest and a paddle through a lagoon illuminated by tiny light-emitting organisms. The day begins with a trek through the rainforest that includes a lesson about the region's ecology and history, identification of different flora and fauna, and a swim in a natural pool. After the morning's expedition (and lunch), the tour continues with two hours of paddling around Laguna Grande. The driver/guides who conduct the outings are consistently described as friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

In all, the eventful outing takes about 12 hours. The approximately $165 price includes round-trip transportation to San Juan hotels , but does not cover lunch. Tours are offered daily starting at 9 a.m. Bespoke also runs coffee plantation tours, a Vieques snorkeling tour and other trips around the island.

Fajardo: East Island Excursions – Culebra Snorkeling Tour

Cruise to the beaches of Culebra – an island about 18 miles off Puerto Rico's northeastern coast – via motorized catamaran on this roughly six-hour outing, which departs from the Puerto Del Rey Marina in Fajardo. The itinerary usually includes snorkeling at an underwater nature preserve, as well as a stop at the celebrated Flamenco Beach (or another nearby beach if water conditions aren't optimal at Flamenco Beach). Patrons find the shorelines breathtaking and the crew friendly and helpful. Others noted some disorganization during their trips.

The ticket price – around $125 for adults and $105 for children ages 4 to 11 – includes a boxed lunch, alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, and games. Tourgoers are asked to bring their own snorkeling gear for sanitary reasons. Tours are offered daily starting at 9 a.m. East Island Excursions also runs boat tours around San Juan.

San Juan: De Tour Con Ali – Let Me Show You MY Island

Visitors hoping to see as much of Puerto Rico as possible in a single day can opt for this six-hour bus ride around the island. The tour, which is led by a local, takes visitors to beaches, caves and rivers as well as various historical sites. Drivers provide commentary about the island's history and its scenery, which riders generally regard as insightful. To make the most of your trip, De Tour Con Ali recommends wearing comfortable clothes, shoes and bringing water shoes and a swimsuit.

Tickets start at $95 for participants 12 and older, $50 for kids 3 to 11 and $25 for infants 2 and younger. Tours depart San Juan at 8:30 a.m. daily. De Tour Con Ali also offers guided hiking tours and airport shuttles.

San Juan Pickup: Caribbean Breeze Adventures: The Casual One

Caribbean Breeze Adventures promises you'll spend the day like a Puerto Rican local during this seven-hour tour. After picking you up from your hotel, guides take you to El Yunque for hiking, water slides (it's all natural!) and swimming. Then, you'll stop by Luquillo Beach and its family-owned kiosks for a dose of culture, food and drinks. Reviewers say the tour activities are excellent and particularly appreciate their guides, who they describe as funny and informative.

Tickets cost about $80 per person. Pickups start at 9 a.m. daily. The company operates a series of tours around the island, including one that visits the popular Crash Boat Beach, which sits on Puerto Rico's west coast.

This was my 12th trip with them

Fantastic day trip as always. I cannot say enough about what a great time we had once again on the catamaran day cruise. This was my 12th trip with them in the 20 years that I have been visiting Puerto Rico. The captain and the crew are exceptional in their service and friendly demeanor. The variety of drinks was great and the food tasty and well planned out for a day on the ocean. I completely recommend this day trip to anybody visiting the island. I guarantee you will have nothing but a great time and a day of Wonderful memories.

Keep up the good work.

Recently booked a snorkeling tour to Icacos and it was amazing. The prices were fair and they were able to provide transportation from Viejo San Juan for an additional cost. The crew was amazing and took care of us. They were very attentive and they kept the drinks coming. The water conditions weren’t the best for snorkeling but they did their best to find us s spot. Accessing the beach required to swim from the boat. It wasn’t ideal but made it fun. I intend to book again on my next trip to PR. Next time it’ll be Culebra. Keep up the good work. I would love to hear more reguetón and more Latin music next time.

The captain and his crew were delightful

We went out to flamingo Island owned by Puerto Rico. It was absolutely beautiful. The captain And his crew were delightful. The lunch was delicious and they kept the drinks rolling in. The captain even had a specialty drink, called the Jellyfish. They made the experience fun and memorable. I would highly recommend If you want a beautiful white sand island, and a group of people that made it fun. Book a trip with these guys…
