terryde Posted August 21, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2009 We will be sailing from San Juan and will have time from about 9am to 4pm. We are looking for a reasonable price tour for the two of us and don't want a private one. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayInPR Posted August 21, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2009 If you aren't hung up on pre-booking a tour, you can just wait until you get off of the ship in Old San Juan. There will be about 100 tour guides willing to put you on their tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryde Posted August 21, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thanks, Ray. We are actually at the Sheraton pre cruise, but we don't arrive that Sat. night until about midnight at the hotel, then we sail that Sun at 10pm. We could check at the Sheraton desk and get something. You are right, they probably would be at the dock (across the street from the Sheraton) trying to get the debarking passengers, so we could go over there and see who would take us. Appreciate it.

bear5 Posted August 21, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Ray - Any idea on how much tour operators will charge if we just walked off the ship and joined up a tour to El Yunque? We have 4 adults, 2 kids in our group and wonder if we should pre-book (via internet or with RCCI as shore excursion) or take our chances last minute.

jay72877 Posted August 21, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2009 We went to the rainforest this past May and it was a great highlight to Puerto Rico. We rented a car and drove to the rainforest and stopped at the several waterfalls. There is one waterfalls where you can get into the water and swim. Its about 30 mintues to get to the waterfalls on a pretty easy hike, and then you can jump in to the refreshing water. Its a blast. LaMina falls I think is what they are called. If you drive I dont recommend stopping at the welcome center. They charge for parking and it wasnt worth it. There is also this tower that you can climb and have a wonderful view. It is pretty cool. Also, if you drive, make sure you get good directions as its a little clunky to find. The entrance road is tucked behind a gas station and street signs are a bit confusing.
