Fun & unique experience - Great way to see the island and El Morro from another point! Hard work but tons of fun! When we got tired, we just rested and put our feet in the water. :)

Family time - Our tour guide provided us with a fun and safe experience. He even joked with my mother in law about sharks (she's afraid of them). Waterproof bag provided. We learned all the safety procedure before taking off. It was really a relaxing and thrilling experience and the waves made it better. This tour was a great end to our vacation. The boats were easy to maneuver and operate through the water, (even though my boat had an issue with the pedal almost at the end of our tour), one of the tour guide notice it and fixed it within seconds, which it means that they are paying attention to you because I didn't even noticed until he told me. It was awesome to see Castillo Del Morro and Paseo de la Princesa from the back side. They also took a few pictures at key locations along the trip. 10/10 experience, will definitely recommend.

Did not refund my money even though it was raining! - I never made it to the excursion due to the it raining all day on May 10th. I requested a refund and was denied a refund! They will take your money and not refund it if it’s due to weather! That’s some type of business to run. Please consider these factors when booking with them. Did not enjoy my trip to San Juan unbelievable!

Not worth it - The most memorable part was when the "tour" guy, who didn't give me a tour at all, left me to float away alone from all the boats waves and I was scared and his response was "actually it's a smooth day."
