The cave entrance is tight and the hike is real, so it asks for good shoes, high fitness and no claustrophobia. 4.95 from 467 reviews at €114 per person for 6h. In our comparison: #15 of 70 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview This day trip is guaranteed to make your stay in the island unforgettable. This tour has adrenaline and adventure, history and archeology, beautiful scenery and beaches. The drive to Arecibo is About an hour and it is beautiful from start to finish. We arrive and begin our hike to the cave of the Taino. Bring good shoes as the hike is quite rocky. The entrance to the cave is not for claustrophobic people. it is bit challenging but with our careful instructions you will be able to get inside (barring any physical conditions that hinder you). The cave is other worldly. You get transported to the past as you see the over 100 carvings in the stone that are hundreds, maybe thousands, of years old. After we exit the cave we will hike through the famous 7 arches of Arecibo. The arches are natural rock formations which can be appreciated in pictures, but only in person will you realize how beautiful it all really is. Last we visit a non-touristy beach that is amazing! ## Before you book - Meeting point: 1374 Ashford Avenue. - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - 4 start times: between 09:00 and 12:00 - Food included: see what is included - Age 6+: minimum age to join **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €114 per person - Duration: 6h - Rating: 4.95/5 from 467 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: I Work Where You Vacation - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Start times: 09:00, 09:30, 10:30, 12:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-26 ## Reviews 4.95 from 467 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 99% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 460 of 467. - 5 stars: 453 (97%) - 4 stars: 7 (1%) - 3 stars: 5 (1%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 2 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the guides, coastal scenery and Taíno history; the narrow cave entrance can be more demanding than expected **Praised:** - Guides explain Taíno history and Puerto Rican culture in detail - Patient climbing instructions help nervous visitors navigate the cave - Coastal views, rock arches and cave carvings are frequent highlights - Enjoyable local food stops and relaxing beach visits after the hike **Complaints:** - Some find cave entry manageable, while others say the climb is harder than described - Bad weather has led to cancelled outings or missed cave visits Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2025-12-18 to 2026-10-01); last checked 2026-10-04. ## What's included - Bottled water - Life vest - Snacks - All Fees and Taxes - Air-conditioned vehicle ## Itinerary 1. **Cueva Del Indio** (2h; admission included) - Get ready for the most unique experience in your life!
