Overview

Yes, Puerto Rico is an island but for locals, this is a common saying meaning to see the island beyond San Juan. In this tour, you’ll be able to explore the breathtaking views the South of the Island has to offer. Walk through the beautiful neoclassical buildings that decorate the town square of Ponce, the second-largest city in Puerto Rico, and explore why the city gets the name Ciudad Señorial. Make your way into Guánica, the paradise of eternal summer, home of the Dry Forest, declared a United Nation’s World Biosphere Reserve. Enjoy a dip at Playa Jaboncillo, a hidden clear water gem inside the forest with an amazing view of the Bay of Guánica. Finish your day with a visit to the Salt Flats of Cabo Rojo and take a dip at Buyé Beach.

For guests that come in cruise ships to the town of Ponce, the tour can be arranged to fit your time at shore.
