Charco Azul canyon adventure with Arenales Caves, river walking, waterfall time, and optional cliff jumps, from San Juan.

“We really enjoyed our day with Fabs. We ended up as a private tour and she did a great job with our 9 year old daughter. Wear old sneakers because there is no way they will not get wet. In the first half of the tour we saw no other people and only a few others on the second half. It was very nice to get out of San Juan and into nature.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 603 reviews · from $155

Full-day northern Puerto Rico adventure: Cueva Ventana window cave, Rio Tanama river trekking, and Indian Cave views. Pickup, gear included.

“10/10 day - if you have one day or one month in PR, make this a part of your visit! This is one of my favorite travel days ever, and our trip guide Enrique helped to ensure it was seamless! Cueva Ventana (the window cave) offered such unique views and an amazing look at the bats in the cave. During the waterfall/river activity, you will get fully wet, so plan to wear a bathing suit, a dry-fit shirt/rash guard, and watershoes with a rubber sole. You only need the watershoes for this activity, so you can change back into your sneakers once done. The views at the Indian Cave are…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 312 reviews · from $99

3-in-1 Puerto Rico tour from Isla Verde: Cueva del Indio caves, Ciales mountain lunch, and Mar Chiquita beach with a small-group guide.

“One of the best tours I've had! love the small group atmosphere. Our guide Hector, provided great commentary about Puerto Rico and the areas we visited. If you want to see the pectroglyphs, you have to navigate through a small opening. It was a little challenging, but Hector was very good with giving me detailed instructions on where to position hands, feet, etc. and stayed right there helping me get through it! Beautiful drive through the mountainous area, delicious lunch location, coffee stop and beach were perfect way to see more of Puerto Rico. Definitely recommend it!”
