A friend and I wanted to paddle board in Luquillo because it was close to our hotel. We had to do…read moresome research to get a hold of Beach Boys Paddle Boarding, but we were very happy with our experience. The owner, Ty, was very helpful and cared about our safety from the start. He kept in contact with us the day before and the day of while we were in Puerto Rico to let us know if it was safe to paddle board the river. Turns out that a woman had died recently while she was in one of the main rain forest artery rivers because of flooding from a rain storm. So, Ty wanted to make sure we would be safe from that risk. We met Ty and his assistant "Capitan" at the entrance to the main Luquillo Public Beach and then followed him in our own rental car to the launch site. We had to walk for only 5 minutes to get to the river. Ty and "Capitan" carried the large paddle boards and we carried the paddles. Ty gave us instruction on paddleboarding and we were off. Along the way, Ty tried to get a feel for what we were interested in. I told him I loved the wildlife and so he continually looked for that along the way. In fact, he taught me about iguanas and had a pregnant female iguana hop aboard his paddle board and took a ride to the iguana nesting grounds further down the river! Very cool! He also pointed out rare Puerto Rican birds and Capitan cut down a bunch of coconuts for us to drink the juice while we played in the river and rested. The trip back was a bit harder because we were paddling against the wind. But, us petite girls made it just fine. Would do this trip again and definitely with Beach Boys Paddle Boarding!

Big double thumbs up for my windsurfing experience with Albir at Sotavento Water Sports out of the…read moreTres Palmas Inn in Puntas Las Marias, San Juan, PR. I showed up unannounced and was out on the water before I knew it. He has a nice selection of the latest model RRD boards and sails to help me get back into sailing after a long snow bound winter in Boston. The location is awesome and its obvious why it is a favorite spot of local sailors. I had great winds, 20+ knots every day I was there in early March. The equipment is stored a few steps from a nice grass rigging area right above the beach. It's a clean, sandy, sheltered beach with minimal shorebreak to deal with and the wind fills in beyond the swimming area. The conditions ranged from flatter closer to the point to bigger swells as you get toward the reefs where there were nice sets of breaking waves. I started out on wide 120l Fire move then moved down to the fast 112l Fire race. The 7.0 RAF sail I used had a lot of speed and power, good range and was easy to waterstart outside in the 5' to 10' swell. Albir was an awesome host - easy going, supportive. The rental rates were also a really great deal. Already looking forward to a return visit!

Discloser, I am a second-timer surfer and only visit Puerto Rico for a week. So if you are a local,…read moreyou may have different experience as they think you may come back for more lessons. Also, I only tried with one instructor, so there may be other instructors who are great. I want to share my experience here just to help you avoid the instructor I had or go to another place for a lesson during your stay in PR. Here is my experience this Tuesday 1. I was sent an email to meet up 10 mins before my 4 pm lesson at the intersection of Calle Nairn and Avenida Ashford. I arrived at 3:48 pm and waited till 4 pm and did not see any one and called the instructor twice without any one pick up the phone. I almost think it is a scam. So I don't want to give up and walked along Calle Nairn toward beach hope to see something and discovered a Van with 'La Punta' on it without any one on the driver seat. So I sat out side the van for another 8 mins (4:08 pm) and saw this guy who turns out to be my instructor called Hiram coming with a surf board from the beach apparently just enjoyed some surfing. Apparently he was busy surfing without realizing it was too late. Without apologizing, he told me to go to the beach to wait for him. After another couple of minutes, the lesson finally started. 2. With less than 5 mins of instructing how to stand on the board, we headed to the ocean. After a couple of failed tries in standing up on the board. He got very frustrated. The wave was so huge that I had a hard time to even climb onto the board. Without helping me, he yelled at me "Why it is so hard for your to get on the board?!". Later, when I got on the board but got toppled by another wave, he yelled at me again "Why you can't keep your body in the center of the board?! That is why you got flipped over!" Afterwards, I think he just totally gave up probably thinking I am a tourist anyway and will not come back again. 3. Just during my struggle to get the board back to the wave again, he would ask me to do a series of random things like swim on the board back to him without even teaching me how to position my body on the board or stoke or change directions. So as you can imagine, I just got smashed again and again by the wave back to the shore while he was just standing in the ocean relaxing. I finally gave up and just dragged my board to him. So what he did was just asking to get on the board and randomly push me away.... At that point, I think both of us just want this to be over... This is my second lesson and I knew surfing lesson should not be like this. My first lesson was useful and enjoyable. This one, well, is the worst so far lol. Anyway, hope y'all enjoy your stay at PR and avoid having a bad day because of one bad instructor! :)

We had Adrian and Giovanni for the tours and just had a blast! They really treat you well and accommodate the tours to your style. It's like your just hanging out with some old friends. Your not just doing these awesome adventures - we also learned about the Puerto Rican culture, ancestry history, and they gave great restaurant recommendations. We rented a car but some other people on our tour group were picked up by Verdeazul for the adventures. Adrian even helped us get connected to a vet when we found a sato (Puerto Rican slang for a street mutt)! We have the most memorable memories from this trip thanks to the guys at Verdeazul! We strongly suggest booking something through them and would recommend it to all our friends and family. They take all the photos for you and email them to you so you don't have to worry about trying to capture the moment and enjoy it at the same time. Not to be missed!

We stopped for a bit at a swing and the kids had a blast.

SUP St. John made it so easy- they dropped off two boards and snorkel gear at the villa where we stayed and picked it all up at the end of the week. They gave lots of good tips about where to go paddling. The boards were awesome and so was the snorkel gear- including fancy Darth Vader-esque masks that allow you to breathe normally while swimming. They even set us up with a rack for our rental jeep so the boards could ride on top and go to any beach of our choice. The ability to SUP anywhere on the island made our vacation even more awesome. A great experience. Thanks!
