The 15 Best Beach Days in Puerto Rico

El Yunque Rainforest Waterslides and Luquillo Beach w/ Transport - Pickup from San Juan and the ride east

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,098 reviews · from $49Our pick

Ride natural waterslides in El Yunque, swim in rainforest pools, then relax at Luquillo Beach and eat at Los Kioskos for $49.99.

“Jerry was our guide and he was outstanding. Fun, smart, and just an over all good guide. The slides were fun and I'd suggest anyone with a knee injury pass on this. It's not hard, but I saw some one turn back because they had a knee injury. It's paved most of the way, but then it's rocks and boulders to hike over. The slides themselves and pools are a blast. At the end you end up at a beach for about 2 hours. It's a nice time, just ok for snorkeling.”

Luquillo Beach Horse Ride from Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park

2.Luquillo Beach Horse Ride from Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,762 reviews · from $164Top rated

Ride from El Yunque foothills through the Mameyes River to Luquillo Beach on a guided, beginner-friendly horseback adventure.

“My horseback riding experience at Carabalí in Puerto Rico was absolutely phenomenal! Riding through El Yunque rainforest was breathtaking, but what truly made it unforgettable were our amazing guides. They were such a vibe—funny, personable, and made us feel safe the entire time. Everyone we met was so kind, and the guides had great energy and looked good doing it 😍. The tour was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. We stopped at a bar for about 30–40 minutes to grab drinks or food, hang out, and soak up the atmosphere. We even took stunning pictures on the beach with our horses—such a dream moment! This was hands down…”
