LibraByTheSea Posted July 2, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Does anyone know if Carnival offers an excursion to El Yunque? Is there enough time to go it on our own? Thanks for your help;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted July 3, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I noticed an "el yunque' rainforest tour listed for San Juan - but it looks like you can't book it prior to cruising? Maybe once on board IF it's offered? The excursion is 4.5 hours long as listed by Carnival - but I think you can do it on your own or thru another independent tour guide.

javier Posted July 7, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Depending on the time of the day and the traffic, you will need a 45-60 minutes drive to the entrance of the Forest (Visitors Center, El Portal). You will need a minimum of 5 or 6 hours; if you have more time, you can hike more than one trail. Please ask for directions at the Visitors Center or download the trail´s map on Forest Service´s website. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froufie Posted July 9, 2007 #5 Share Posted July 9, 2007 rwmcamr1 - were you able to book this trip in advance thru the carnival website? If so can you please advise? When I look at the San Juan excursions page (thru my own reservation going to 'add short excursions) - I see this: THIS IS A DEBARKATION DAY EXCURSION FOR THE CARNIVALDESTINY AND CAN BE PURCHASED ONCE ONBOARD YOUR SHIP* When I click on the actual tour to get the description - this is included in the text: *THIS EXCURSION MAY NOT BE OFFERED ON ALL SHIPS OR ON ALL ITINERARIES. PLEASE CONSULT THE SHORE EXCURSION DESK ONCE ONBOARD FOR AVAILABILITY Did you not see these messages when booking thru Carnival? Any info greatly appreciated!
