    One of my fond memories was being in San Juan & I have met some wonderful people. Made so many new friends, who welcomed me with so much love & respect. One of the nicest person I met was one of the worker here who made my day by her presence! Thought me so much in 10 min & I have decided to take the ferry & visit Catano.

    We arrived on a cruise and took the ferry so we could tour the Casa Bacardi. From the front entrance all the way to the return trip everyone was very friendly and super helpful guiding us. The shuttle times are very precise which is not normally seen in this type of industry. Both stations and the shuttles were very clean and comfortable. The price was only .50 per trip. I would recommend this shuttle even if you don't have any business across the bay. The views are fantastic !!

    This ride was .50 one way 1.00 round trip. .25 for 60 and older and free of over the age of 70. It was a nice break from the sun to relax on the ferry as we made our way from San Juan to Catano. Even if you don't want to visit Catano I would say this is a great break from the day activities to just relax and take in the sites and enjoy the breeze coming off the water.

    I'm on a boat! Only .50 cents a ride. Now that is a great deal to get across the water. You get to take in some nice scenery on the roughly 15 minute boat ride across from Old San Juan. We used this transport to bring us to Catano to Casa Bacardi for a tour and some rum drinks! As it was also the San Sebastian Street Festival the days we were here there were big parties happening on both sides. After we were done, and properly buzzed at the Bacardi factory, we went to head back and saw that there was a massive crowd waiting to get on the ferry. What was so impressive is how the staff here was so organized, and had us set up in seating areas in the indoor waiting area with music and fun competitive cheering going on. They then had a huge barge-like ferry show up within a few minutes and got all of us on that thing, Wow. The crowd was so cheery and respectful, and boarded the boat quickly and with no problems at all. They even had police on the boat to keep order, and did a muster drill. Can't beat this kind of service. The ferry boats themselves are a bit worn and not all that fancy, but gets the job done. Hey, for 50 cents a trip it's all good!

    *** Hey, this ferry is a lil ghetto but it's only $0.50. (lol) *** It gets you from Point A to Point B in 5min, so it's a keeper. *** Runs every 30min or so. I didn't wait very long at all. ***

    Plenty of seating.

She gave us a tour and showed us some of the warehouses and how the rum is made/ stashed in the barrels. She also gave us the full history as to how Bacardi came to be. She showed us how to make a PROPER Mojito and Daquiri. She taught us so much stuff that it puts everything into perspective. It was such an amazing time.

I'm…read moreoriginally from Puerto Rico and have traveled here many times but had never heard of this tour so I was a bit skeptical when he suggested it. I checked out the Facebook reviews and since my kids love to dance I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience this was. This is a essentially a night club on a boat that takes you around San Juan bay for an hour. As you're walking towards the boat you can't help but to get all excited because of all the lights and music. Once on board you can select between dancing on the upper or lower level. We choose the upper level because we wanted to feel the sea breeze as we danced. Once you settle in prepare to dance non stop for the whole tour. It was amazing to be dancing with people of all ages. I suggest getting on board about 20-30 minutes early so that you can get a few minutes of extra dancing time. The cost is 15.00 per person for locals and 20.00 for tourists. If you're a dancer you'll get your monies worth but if you're not, you'll have a good time by checking out the sights and all of the people on the dance floor. If you're in Puerto Rico, this is a must do.

The Britten Norman Islander planes are fantastic fun to fly in; if you're not used to small planes it can be nerve wracking at first, but just remember these planes and this airline make this flight all day every day and there's never an issue. Two of the three available landing patterns in Culebra are terrifying, but once you've gone a few times you realize the pilots know exactly what they're doing and the landing experience becomes hilarious and awesome. I highly recommend the flight to Culebra, doesn't matter if its on VAL or one of the other two airlines.

Two options to get there from San Juan: drive across the main island to catch a ferry (and waste a whole day), or brace yourself and fly Vieques Airlink. We opted for the second option, and it was quite epic... First the airport: the person at the check-in counter was a fifteen year old kid wearing shorts and flip-flops, he never checked our IDs but instead asked us to write down our name and weight (!) on a sheet of scrap paper. 45 minutes later, we're boarding a tiny propeller airplane with 8 seats... the pilot is talking on his cell phone while taking off... seriously! I guess I'm making it sound worse than it really was... we landed safe and sound in Vieques after 20 minutes over the ocean, and I actually enjoyed it (though some of my travel companion who aren't so much into flying almost had heart attacks!). And as I hear from locals, it is much more reliable than the ferry, which runs on a rather arbitrary schedule. Not for the faint of heart, but it was actually quite fun.

A few days before…read moreour trip, I contacted the owner Rafael personally via phone number provided by VIATOUR to confirm if he was able to accommodate us last minute during our short stay in Puerto Rico. Rafael was currently on a tour during our conversation but ultimately returned my phone call confirming that he was able to accommodate us on 12/31/16. We were picked up at 0800 hrs by Rafael and his life partner, Katiana, at our Hotel (Tryp by Wyndham). Also present was their son Danny who was a delight to have the entire day. We were offered water from their cooler. The tour started immediately and Rafael began teaching us the history of Puerto Rico during the drive to each location. Rafael also informed us that due to the tradition of "celebratory gun shots" on NEW YEARS EVE, he's decided to not put our lives in danger and avoid Aguadilla entirely during this tour (unfortunately, due to this anomaly, we missed out on snorkeling during this tour). Our first visit was to La Cueva del Indio caves near Arecibo where Rafael taught us about the Taino tribe and their values based on the elements surrounding the area. It was about an hour ride from where we were staying in Isla Verde. Katiana dropped us off on the side entrance of the roadway that lead into a short wooded pathway, out onto a beautiful, breathtaking beach. Unfortunately, we were unaware this was happening, and could not put on appropriate footwear in time for this attraction. We then climbed onto the cave's rocky terrain, to get down to the actual area where we were able to climb down onto a ladder into the caves (tennis/hiking shoes recommended). Rafael was very knowledgeable about the rich history of the Island and its surroundings. He taught us a lot of things that we did not know about Puerto Rico, and some controversial events between Puerto Rico, Spain, & The United States. He also guided us how to navigate the rocky terrain and climb-down into the caves. Unfortunately, we could not alternatively snorkel here due to the strong waves and riptide. After the caves, we took a scenic ride to the country side of San Sebastian. Along the way, Rafael & Katiana were very accommodating to our stop requests to purchase items alongside of the highway sold by the locals. Fiance and I are always in support of local business over the the Big Box stores, so it was a delight to be able to contribute to the local vendors. We stopped at a fruit stand and enjoyed one of the best Pineapples I've ever had (Rafael bought our first pineapple, and even cut it up for us into slices!). Rafael mentioned that Puerto Rico is known for its pineapples! We also saw raw gandules (compared to the ones in a can that the Fiance cooks with), homemade pineapple hot sauce, and honey. We bit into a tangerine peeled by Rafael and was blown away by its' organic taste. Next stop was a personal request by my fiancé who wanted to purchase an authentic Pilone for when she makes her food back at home. Katiana stopped us at a small shop on the side of the road. At this stop, I also purchased a straw hat and the shop owner gave us a great deal on both the Pilone and hat. Next stop was in San Sebastian, which was about 45 minutes away from Arecibo. We were able to witness and enjoy two cascada waterfalls of the Gozalandia. The first waterfall was a short hike (10 minutes) and included a swinging rope and decent size swimming space. We swam here for a bit and continued on to the second waterfall. The second waterfall was such a serenity and less crowded. The swim space was close to the size of an Olympic pool. There was a rope to assist your climb to the top of its' waterfall, however, required a lot of upper body strength and caution due to the slippery rocks. During these two waterfalls, we were never rushed by the tour guide, and were not given a time limit to how long we could stay. Rafael, Katiana, & Danny, joined us during the hike-through and taught us about different plants and their uses (mostly medicinal). Finally, we stopped at the on-site restaurant/bar (Sha's) to enjoy a meal together. It felt like I was sitting with family and not a formal tour guide company. PR4LESS is a family owned and operated tour company who made this tour very personable for the woman and I. Even with the last minute request, Rafael & Katiana still was able to accommodate just us two even if their were no one else who booked a tour with them on New Years Eve. I would definitely book again due to the tour being a crossover between formal and informal; which I prefer. They currently are working on their home, which they hope to provide bed and breakfast service to their future guests. I hope they stay in business because their tour offers a unique experience with alternative routes that are not congested by other tourists. I look forward to taking a tour with them on our next vacation to the island. Thanks again Torres fam!

Thanks to Rafael and his wonderful family I have fallen in love with Puerto Rico again. Rafael's vast knowledge of the history of Puerto Rico, religion, and the hot spots across the entire island provided an amazing tour of approximately 75% of the island in our 3 days. Not only did we get to experience the most beautiful areas of the island but also got to enjoy the best of Puerto Rico's culture and food. We felt safe at all times due to Rafael's professional security and previous experience in the US Army. Prior to our arrival, Rafael worked with me to determine a customized travel plan that not only included excursion specifics but also airport transportation, travel assistants, and concierge services. He also reviewed a detailed list of items, such as, age of family members, medical conditions, activity and food restrictions, etc. Rafael is extremely professional, always on time and has great communication skills in both Spanish and English. You can trust his 7 year old son Daniel when he says, "Your wish is his[Rafael] command." Our excursions were 8-12 hours each day and throughout our trip Rafael and his family made us feel like a part of their family. I have traveled to over 8 countries and 35 states and can declare that Rafael is the best tour guide I've ever met.

As long as 15 people are on the tour, they will take you to your Calebra. If less than 15 you stay local! There were well over 15 so we were able to tour Calebra. It was so beautiful! Once you get there, they pick you up on a ferry to take you to the boat . The boat travels for about an hour before getting to a private island and that is where you get the guided snorkeling or diving tour depending on what you selected! My friends and I did the snorkeling. As someone who can't swim (I know I know lol) I had a great time. The tour guides were very informative and helpful for all ages and swim levels. They do provide fruit, cold cut sandwiches and rum punch and when you stop . If you're looking for a "party" boat then this may not be for you. Don't expect lots of liquor and twerking etc it's a family type tour, Some of my friends were a bit disappointed by the price expecting that we'd stop somewhere that had a bar and restaurant but it was just a private island (we're in our high 20s low 30s).

Once we complete the course work, we each reached out to the dive shop about 2 - 1 1/2 weeks in advance to schedule the dates and times for the water sessions. We did not receive any type of response back from the shop. We attempted to message on whatsup as requested but still did not receive a confirmation or any type of communication. We called down to the shop, where we were told to just text them. We again tried to text the shop but did not receive any response.

A day goes by, we attempt to call and no response.. fully we get a text saying they are fully committed...... This was without doubt the worst type of un-reliable customer service and a refusal to communicate.. I would not trust this dive shop or operation. They should never have told us to use to do the course work with their shop and then refuse to complete our certification. Luckily Scuba Dogs next door came to our rescue when we told them about the horrible customer service we received. Just be aware this shop will not be reliable.
