Day Trips from San Juan

71 tours · €22–€797 per person · ★ 4.8

Day trips from San Juan reach most of the island in one run, and the 71 here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €22 per person for a guided half day at the rainforest waterslides, where you drive yourself to the meeting point, to €797 for a private boat with snorkelling, sunset and a swim in the glowing bay. The busiest San Juan excursions go east: El Yunque with its waterfalls and rope swings, the bioluminescent bay in Fajardo by kayak at night, and catamarans to the Icacos cays or Culebra with snorkel gear on board. Inland the Puerto Rico excursions turn to caves, river canyons and ziplines.

A quick way to choose: look at the transport line first, because some rainforest tours run only from a meeting point and ban taxis, others collect at the door in San Juan and charge extra beyond it, and Culebra trips by ferry add hours to the day. Lunch is usually a kiosk stop at your own cost. The best reviewed day trips from San Juan come first below.
