Have you spent any time in San Juan before?

 

If not, you can easily spend the day, taking in the sights, sounds and tastes of Old San Juan.

 

There are 2 excellent forts, a cathedral, several picturesque squares, a really nice promenade, the Paseo la Princessa, several small museums, small shops and if it's a weekend, there will be plenty of local artisans with stalls etc.

 

You could also rent a car and head off to El Yunque rainforest - get there early to avoid the crowds and get a decent parking, then hike one or more of the trails - head over to Luquillo beach for the afternoon and check out the local food at the roadside kiosks. If you are still feeling adventurous, you could also add on a bio-bay tour - either do the Fajardo bay tour or take a catermeran trip over to the Vieques bio-bay. If you did the bio-bay that would be a very full day.

What do you like to do? What day will it be?

There are lots of things, but for most you would need to rent a car or a driver.

Adventure- ATV rides, Zip lining, and some all day cave adventures.

Nature- Hiking, biking, snorkeling, private island trip, Las Cabezas Nature tour, Botanical gardens.

Music/local food on Sundays- Gauvate for pig roast, or Pinones

we have never been to San Juan before, with it being the last day of our honeymoon and after a 7 day cruise we will probably want something chill, the rainforest sounds beautiful.
