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!

It's an easy way to spend a day in the sun without breaking the bank. The only hiccup was during check-in. I was told to head to the back for the "dos and don'ts" of snorkeling, but when I found the staff member, he just said, "yeah, you snorkel on the other side of the bay," and pointed behind him. No safety rundown, no directions, nothing. I ended up going back inside, and thankfully another staff member stepped in and got me set up properly. Once I was out in the water, though, it was beautiful -- calm, clear, and full of marine life. Overall, a great experience with just a small bump in the beginning. I'd definitely return.

While in Puerto Rico, my daughter and I booked a kayaking tour with VIP Adventures, and it turned…read moreout to be an awesome experience. They ask that you arrive about 15 minutes early, and when we got there, most of the staff greeted us inside the storefront before directing us out back to the kayaking area. For belongings, they give you two options: you can pay $5 for a locker with a key, or you can leave your things in the storage bins out back where someone is always present. I wasn't completely comfortable with the bins, but the staff reassured me that nothing had ever happened to guests' belongings. I decided to take the chance, left my bag there with cash inside, and thankfully, everything was safe and untouched when we returned. Our instructor was Kyler and he was amazing. He was patient, informative, and honestly did most of the work steering our kayak since my daughter kept getting frustrated and turning us in the wrong direction. Kyler shared a lot of history about the Condado Lagoon, pointing out landmarks, statues, and explaining the local marine life--what's there, what isn't, and why motorboats aren't allowed. The way back was more challenging because of the wind, so this time it was up to us to paddle. I ended up doing most of it (patting myself on the back here), and by the time we finished, I was completely soaked from the back--no idea how that happened, but it was all part of the adventure. We wrapped up after about an hour, grabbed our belongings, and everything was still there. Overall, it was such a fun and memorable experience for both my daughter and I.

First off, I will tell you one thing…read more Deducted 1 stars (now) was (-2) for : There was a YELP check in offer for $30 for 1hr of paddle boarding and 1hr water park. Will look for the picture. Since, yesterday it has changed to their normal prices. The deducting another 1 star because: 1- There is no formal training. If they think 2 mins of telling you how to row, kneel, and stand than I guess they might as well deduct $10 for that. And just rent out paddle boards lol. 2- I'm a very strong swimmer and found it very hard to maneuver against the wind/current. 3-Things they've failed to mention do not stand if your paddling against the waves. You will flip over. You will go in and basically teach yourself and if you have common sense then you will come out of it learning and teaching yourself how to paddle board. Again you will TEACH yourself how to paddle board. LOL Btw- I did see a manatee up close and that was pretty nice. And yes, I came out an avid self taught pro paddle boarder. Definitely not hard standing when your going with the current

We called ahead to reserve five paddleboards for an hour ($20/person), and were greeted immediately upon arrival. They were very accommodating even though we were a little late. There was even a place to store our wallets and backpacks despite the whole thing being outdoors. After paying with our credit cards (also a plus, since most places in San Juan only take cash), we were given a quick crash course on how to paddleboard as the others in my group had never been before and sent out into the water. The lagoon was pretty calm -- no waves or strong current, so it wasn't too hard to paddle. The best part for me was definitely the manatee that we found swimming the middle of the lagoon. Overall, wonderful experience.

Nolo was an expert guide who taught us clearly and effectively how to paddle board and spent 99% of the time upright and enjoying ourselves! Nolo came prepared with everything we needed and even brought along our sunscreen for after snorkeling. He knew all the best places to dive and brought his go pro so we could have footage and pictures from our experience. Through the trip we saw many manatees, a spotted stingray, a sardine school, a sea turtle in the distance, a barracuda, and of course tons and tons of fish! Easy one of the easiest, most fun, and memorable experiences we've had and we were so lucky to have Nolo as our guide. Thank you again!!

Not sure where you go if that is full. Our guides were absolutely fantastic. Super friendly. Respectful of the animals and knowledgeable about the area. The tour uses glass bottom boats. You can see the sea grass but we didn't see any fish below our boat. You hang out in the bay a bit then go under the bridge to the ocean side. Definitely gets rougher but nothing to worry about. We saw several turtles poking their heads above the water. We saw iguanas in the trees and a puffer fish swam by. As we were coming in, a manatee surfaced and our guide was able to get a video of her. We saw the nose and head from our boats but they are rather shy so a video to tie it all together was the way to go. You are on the water for about an hour. They take a bunch of pics for you and send those to you after the tour. They were also helpful with restaurant ideas and other sites to see. We enjoyed the experience.

You get to enjoy a night (7pm glow tour ) by putting glow paint all over your body. Getting in a kayak with whomever you want to share the experience with or if you go solo in a kayak that is clear on the bottom for you to see Mother Nature. My mom and I got to witness up close a sea star, a squid, AND really up close a sea turtle (this was an experience nobody else got to see because they rushed back to the dock) take your time with your guide and enjoy the moment. They give brief instructions on how to kayak so if you don't know I would ask for further instructions. My mom and I are avid kayakers so we didn't have any issues with this. The check in process was smooth and everyone was so kind and fun. FOR SURE do this tour. Oh and I got to see so many planes-amazing sites to see. I would do this again! And I highly recommend!
