6 tours · €133–€818 per person · ★ 4.9
Private tours in Puerto Rico here mean the boat, the kitchen or the guide is yours alone, and the 6 were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €133 per person for a hands on cooking class and meal in a family home to €818 for a nine hour private day that ends with a night swim in a bioluminescent bay. Between them sit the private boat charters from Fajardo to Icacos and Palomino with snorkel gear, sandwiches and local beer, a light tackle fishing charter for tarpon and snook, and a second cooking class hosted by a local couple.
A quick way to choose: read the price unit first, because the boats and the fishing charter are priced per group and cost the same for two people as for a full party, while the cooking classes and the bio bay night charge per person. Gratuities are never included, one charter has no restroom on board, and the cooking classes sit outside the old city. The best reviewed private tours in Puerto Rico come first below.
