San Juan Mini Boats

OVERVIEW

Take the helm of a mini boat and cruise around San Juan Bay, an experience that will offer a unique water perspective of the capital city and its landmarks. After a briefing to ensure that you are comfortable as captain, you will motor across the bay in a 13-foot rigid inflatable powerboat designed to hold two people. You will follow the guide past the modern high-rises that line the waterfront Condado District and continue on towards the Historic District. Stops will be made along the way to hear commentary and behold highlights such as the Governor’s Mansion, Castillo San Cristóbal – the largest Spanish-built fort in the New World – and San Felipe del Morro, a fortress completed in 1790, despite being started about 250 years earlier. You will return via an eco-friendly water channel lined with mangroves, where you may spot iguanas in the intertwined tree branches and a variety of colorful birds.
