Description
Experience Puerto Rico’s two most breathtaking natural wonders in one unforgettable day!
Start your adventure with morning pickup in San Juan, where you'll embark on a scenic drive along Puerto Rico’s northern coast. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights about the island’s culture and landscapes. Your first stop is Luquillo, where you’ll enjoy a taste of fresh local fruits before continuing to the heart of Puerto Rico’s rainforest.
Discover the Magic of El Yunque Rainforest
El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System, is home to unique plants, animals, and cascading waterfalls. Hike through lush jungle trails, cross rivers, and immerse yourself in nature. Your expert guide will lead you to a hidden gem deep in the forest— a stunning natural pool with waterfalls.
Here, swim in crystal-clear waters, slide down a natural rock waterslide, swing into the river, and jump from rock formations for an exhilarating experience. Afterward, relax and savor freshly picked local fruit while soaking in the beauty of your surroundings.
After your rainforest adventure, enjoy a break for dinner at a local restaurant (cost not included). Savor authentic Puerto Rican flavors while resting up for the second half of your journey.
Kayak Through the Bioluminescent Bay
As the sun sets, prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime kayak tour at Laguna Grande in Fajardo, one of the world’s rare bioluminescent bays. After a safety briefing, paddle through the serene Red Mangrove Forest, where you’ll witness stunning views of the night sky.
As you reach the bay, watch in awe as the water glows with every stroke of your paddle. The bioluminescence, caused by tiny microorganisms called dinoflagellates, creates a magical, shimmering effect in the water. See glowing fish dart beneath you, trails of light swirl with every movement, and experience nature’s own light show!
