Shifting gears, the Private San Juan Beach Tour accesses secluded coastal pockets beyond the usual tourist spots.

Adventure Tips

Hydrate in the tropical heat

Carry water on outdoor tours, especially during beach or eco-wheel adventures, to stay refreshed under the Caribbean sun.

Wear comfortable shoes for city walks

Cobblestone streets in Old San Juan can be uneven; sturdy, closed-toe shoes improve comfort and safety during historical tours.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Protect yourself and marine ecosystems by choosing eco-friendly sunscreen when joining beach or snorkeling tours.

Bring insect repellent for evening tours

Mosquitoes can be active near coastal and park areas after dark, so a good repellent helps keep discomfort at bay during nightlife outings.
