Day 1
Welcome to Puerto Rico! Enjoy a welcome barbecue dinner on your first night
We’re totally thrilled to have you here with us in vibrant San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico, a place where the Old World meets the new in exciting ways! One of our team members will greet you at the airport and whisk you straight to your accommodation via private transportation. Your accommodation is located in the heart of the emblematic neighborhood of Calle Loiza near the Ocean Park district. Here, the beach is just minutes away. After you’re all checked in and settled, we have a surprise for you this evening! A welcome barbecue dinner will be prepared for you and your friends to celebrate your arrival in Puerto Rico. Have a sizzling good time to mark this special occasion — there’s no better way to say hello to a new city!
Day 2
Experience a ride of a lifetime on an epic ATV tour through the countryside
Rise and shine! This morning, we depart at 8:00 am and journey to a hidden paradise for your thrilling ATV tour. Hop on your powerful 4x4 machines and rumble through various trails across the wilderness. Experienced guides will take you through 2,200 acres of land to enjoy views of mountains, mangroves, lagoons, limestone formations, and roaming wildlife! Along the way, learn about the history of the Puerto Rican countryside and the flora and fauna that inhabit the region. At the end of the tour, feel free to check out the unique hilltop Mojito Bar, a great place to quench your thirst. ATV tour duration: 2 hours / Vehicle: Tandem ATV (2 people per ride) / Note: Must be 16+ to drive — valid driver's license required.
Stop in Guavate, the town famous for delicious lechón
After the ATV tour, we will travel to the town of Guavate for a 1.5-hour lunch stop at one of the Lechoneras, cafeteria-style restaurants that serve mouthwatering lechón (whole roasted pig cooked over hot coals or an open flame). Here, you can order right at the counter and choose between lechon, turnovers, rice and beans, plantains, local vegetables, and more. Prepare your belly for this tasty experience! Note: Price of lunch is not included.
Head to Distrito T-Mobile for an exhilarating zipline experience
Enjoy an adrenaline rush at Distrito T-Mobile, Puerto Rico’s ultimate venue for fun and entertainment! Here, you will challenge yourself on zipline cables by attempting the Bull Maze and Sky Bull courses. The ziplines here range from 150 and 400 feet long. Starting from the main launch tower at a height of 90 feet, you will fly down the ziplines that stretch all through Distrito T-Mobile, enjoying the lights and digital screens that come to life all around you to create a truly multisensory experience. Note: This activity starts at 4:00 pm. Minimum height: 4 ft. 5 inches, maximum height: 6 ft. 2 inches, maximum weight: 250 lbs. Closed-toe shoes are required for this activity. We highly recommend you stay in Distrito T-Mobile after this activity to enjoy the night — it becomes a great place for restaurants and live music once the sun goes down! At the end of the day, make your own way back to your accommodation (just a 10-minute Uber drive away).
Day 3
Discover the old city of San Juan, the crown jewel of Puerto Rico
Good morning! Today, you will embark on an immersive excursion into the historical center of Old San Juan (OSJ). At around 9:00 am, you’ll be picked up from your accommodation and dropped off right in the heart of the old sector, where you’ll be given the chance to self-explore for 4 hours. OSJ is a colorful kaleidoscope of life, music, legend, and history. From its blue-toned, cobblestoned streets to the 400+ historically-listed buildings to the stunning ocean views, the visual treats never end here! You will be able to walk to the restaurants, visit the supermarket, try exquisite locally-grown coffee, and much more! Some top sights we recommend checking out include the two forts El Morro and Fuerte San Cristobal, the Las Américas Museum, the Paseo la Princesa (which hosts local artists on the first Sunday of every month), and the different squares of Plaza Colon, Plaza de Armas, Plaza del Quinto Centenario, and Parque de las Palomas. Our transportation will pick you up at Plaza Colon at around 1 pm to transfer you back to your accommodation.
Enjoy the nightlife in Santurce, where you can dance the night away
As evening arrives, it’s time to visit La Placita de Santurce, where you’ll have the perfect opportunity to celebrate in the street! Santurce is one of San Juan’s most vibrant barrios, incorporating the oceanfront neighborhood of Condado but typically used to describe the area south of the city. Between Thursday and Sunday night, much of the action here can be found in and around La Placita de Santurce. The small square is a traditional Farmers’ Market by day, which transforms into a buzzing, high-energy outdoor club by night, complete with booming live music, great restaurants, and late-night bars. Let loose, mingle with locals and other travelers alike, and dance the night away! After, make your own way back to your accommodation (just a 10-minute Uber drive away).
Day 4
Day trip to Cayo Icacos — relax on the beach, snorkel the waters, soak up the sun!
Today, we will embark on a fun-filled day trip to one of Puerto Rico’s most popular cays. Departing early at 7:00 am, we will journey to the stunning Cayo Icacos (often referred to as Icacos Island). This is the largest and most picturesque of the cays that make up La Cordillera Nature Reserve off the northeast tip of Puerto Rico. A popular weekend destination, you’ll discover a relaxing, unspoiled beach to lounge on, surrounded by unbelievably clear blue waters that host a diverse and abundant amount of marine life, making it an ideal snorkeling site. Icacos is literally a deserted island — no camping is allowed here to preserve the site. Most vessels anchor a few yards from the main beach, framed by palm trees and sea grape bushes on one side and fringed with rocks dipping into the ocean on the other. This is a postcard-perfect location that will surely make your friends jealous on Instagram and TikTok! We’ll spend 5 hours here on the beach — there’s no set itinerary for the day, meaning you can choose from a variety of activities to suit your interests: snorkel the waters to discover an amazing underwater world, soak up the sun on the white-sand beaches, or relax under the shade of a beach umbrella. Tour includes a personal guide, snorkeling equipment, beach umbrellas, and a cooler with beverages.
Day 5
Time to bid farewell to Puerto Rico
How time flies! We hope you’ve enjoyed your time in Puerto Rico. After checking out of your accommodation, you will be transferred to the airport in time to catch your flight home. Until next time — we hope to see you again soon!

Fajardo BioBay (bioluminescent bay) kayaking tour — day 3
Tour departs late afternoon (around 5 pm). Tour duration: 2 – 3 hours. Paddle one of the world’s brightest bioluminescent bays! These rare ecosystems happen when microscopic, single-celled organisms (dinoflagellates) grow in quantities big enough to produce a “glow-in-the-dark” effect when stimulated by movement. When you paddle or splash the water, these organisms light up brilliantly in spectacular shades of neon blue-green. At Fajardo BioBay, you’ll enjoy an adventurous group kayaking tour through a mangrove forest with protected fauna. You will also get to observe and learn about the constellations at night.
