Additional Information

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.

Perfect day trip! - I originally booked the Pa la Isla Southwest tour but due to some schedule changes, ended up taking the Full Day Ponce, Yauco, Caracoles Cay & La Parguera Bio Bay Tour instead (an upgrade, score!) Laura is incredibly knowledgeable about Puerto Rican history and culture, and made sure to point out different towns and facts during the hour-long drive to Ponce. Once in Ponce, we had some time on our own to explore the main square and grab some coffee/ice cream before heading to the Cay. We made a few pit stops along the way for pictures in beautiful towns like Yauco and then picked up dinner for the boat. Caracoles Cay had beautiful crystal clear water and was a great way to see the sunset before heading into the bioluminescent bay. The conditions were great, so the water really lit up and we got some great photos! Highly recommend Sofrito Tours, the experience was phenomenal!!

Great laid back tour - We had a great time! Laura and Carlos were kind and accommodating. This was a small group tour so it was a laid back atmosphere. Laura provided interesting information while we were sightseeing and there was ample opportunity to enjoy the places we stopped to see.

Perfect tour to explore southwest - I can’t thank Laura and Carlos enough for this amazing day! Couldn’t have asked for anything better. They are super accommodating and take care of smallest of things. This is a perfect day trip for anyone. I travelled solo, but this felt like traveling with a bunch of friends. They made me feel super comfortable, very professional yet so personally involved. Don’t think twice, these guys will make sure you have a great time. 100% recommend.

Off the beaten path - This full day trip was amazing. Laura took us from San Juan to: Ponce with its Iguanas, fountains, street food, shopping, and history. Yauco with its street art, beautiful views, and Instagram ready city square. A secluded beach (Jaboncillo) that we had nearly all to ourselves. Salinas Cabo Roho salt flats. Boquerón for local color and Pride. Buyé beach where we watched the sun set and finally dinner on the water before finally bringing us back to San Juan. It was a whirlwind trip and worth every penny. She got us fresh local fruit from the farmers market that we snacked on all day and offered an insider’s view for an off the beaten path unique tour. Worth. It.

Very disappointed - I like to post reviews when a tour has far exceeded my expectations, however, for this tour I feel compelled to express my abject disappointment. I was defrauded about what to expect on the trip. My family and I went on the trip but only one activity was as advertised. All others were shortened considerably or did not occur at all. If anyone at Sofrito tours sees this review I would appreciate someone contacting me. After several calls, emails, and text messages no one has responded.
