This is our first visit to Puerto Rico. Our family took an all day private guided tour with Bucket List tours. It was fantastic. Carlos went out of his way to pick us up closer to where we were staying in Rincon. He shared the rich Puerto Rican history on our trip to the El Yunque rainforest. We were able to swim, cliff jump, and soak in the natural wonders of the most beautiful waterfalls on the island.
We then shifted gears and went snorkeling at Caracoles.. After relaxing in the clear, shallow waters, swimming amongst the mangroves, and chasing tarpon, (Take extra food to feed the Tarpon) we watched the sun set and then took a short ten minute boat ride to La Parguera Bay. This is one of 5 bioluminescent bays in the entire world. It is the only one you can swim in. It is a must do once in your life experience.
The evening ended with a fun dinner in Lajas where we recounted the activities of the day..
Carlos went way above and beyond what is normally expected of a tour guide.
He took lots of pictures and videos which he shared with us at the end of our tour.
Carlos really personalized our excursion to fit our family. He also gave us tips for other must do's and see's as well as detailed maps on how to find these hidden gems.
This was one of the best vacation excursions that we have taken.
As a side note, our tour was not listed above. We went on a private guided waterfall, swimming, cliff jumping , snorkeling, bioluminescent bay , dinner in Lajas all day extravaganza.
