Need some help with what to do

[Cruisin Together]

We will be in San Juan 7-3:30. Does anyone have any recommendation for a tour ( other than the cruise ship tours) that would take us to the rainforest, forts & still have time to enjoy some local cuisine and beverages? So far we have 6 of us in our party but there could be more. The drawback to the cruiseline tours is that there is no time on the schedule for local eating and drinking. :cool:

I'd skip the rainforest...travel time is too long. Go to the fort and do a self-guided tour. Beautiful view from above. Then spend the rest of the time in the old city walking around, get a mojito, and a nice lunch. Check out tripadvisor for restaurants. By then, you'll be ready to head to the ship.

Try visiting the Bacardi factory....catch the ferry from pier#2 after exiting the ferry walk a bit to the right to catch a short taxi ride to the factory. Let me add the tour is free, it isn't the actual factory and they give you 2 strong drinks of your choice for free :D.

You could do one of the tours to the rainforest that are offered just as you leave the ship. You may be able to find a guy with a smaller van, so you can customize a trip. The trips to EL Yuqnue are usually 4-5 hrs (2 hrs drive time). But if you get a custom trip, he can stop in Pinones or at the Luquillo kiosks for a food/drinks.

Thanks for the ideas. We are going to skip the Bacardi Tour and stop at Don Q for some rum tasting. We are looking at Sunset Tours to get us to the rainforest and then one of the forts and shopping. I am worried that this will be alot to do with the amount of time that we are there.

When I was there at Don Q they limited the tasting to 1 per person.
