Bahía Bioluminiscente
Bio Bay kayaking is the way to go!
This is a short walk along the beach around the point to the left and is one of the most amazing spots in Puerto Rico. Protected by a barrier reef, the water is calm enough to sit in with a beach chair and feels like your own private island retreat. Be sure to visit...you won't be disappointed.

Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Rental car at the airport is the way to go.
Get your rental booked around when you book your flight or as early as possible before your arrival for the best price and availability. I was able to rent a car for a week or less than $200 total.

El Yunque (Rainforest)
Go to the castle looking outpost overlook and bring/wear your swimsuit to swim under the waterfalls! Great hikes for those who love hiking too but the hikes can also be slippery, technical, and full of bugs.
Reserva antes de ir
Vieques or Culebra Ferry
These are the islands that you can get to on the ferry. Due to Covid 19, they were limiting total number of people and non-resident numbers. So getting your ticket ahead of time is a must at https://www.porferry.com/.
Once the ferry arrives, there is a lot of transportation options to choose from but choose quickly because if you wait too long you may not have many good options to get around the island (or book transportation ahead of time).
