WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Paseo de la Princesa
Exploring the Paseo de la Princesa from the Chiliboats provides a unique perspective on the architectural, historical, and natural beauty of Old San Juan. It's a delightful way to experience the rich heritage of this city from the water, with stunning views that highlight its uniqueness and charm.
2. La Fortaleza - Palacio de Santa Catalina
Known as "La Fortaleza," this imposing structure, built in 1540, initially served as a fortress to protect the island. Later, in 1846, it was remodeled and converted into the official residence of the governor. It has hosted 170 governors of Puerto Rico throughout its history.
3. La Puerta de San Juan
This is the entrance to Old San Juan, known for its beauty and vibrant colors. The gate stands at 16 feet tall and 20 feet thick, leading you to the romantic Paseo La Princesa. The inscription above it reads "Benedictus Oui Venit In Nomine Domini," which translates to "Welcome those who come in the name of God," a tribute to the island's Catholic roots.
4. Bastion de Santa Elena
You can enjoy the view from the bay on the water of "Las Garitas." These structures, located along the Paseo de la Princesa, the Wall, and up to Castillo San Felipe del Morro, make up a series of historic defensive structures in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. "Las Garitas" are strategically positioned along the wall and offer panoramic views of the bay and the city. Exploring "Las Garitas" allows visitors to immerse themselves in the rich military history of the region while enjoying breathtaking maritime landscapes.
5. Castillo San Felipe del Morro
Our leader will guide you side by side to the Majestic El Morro Castle, the most important attraction in Puerto Rico. A Spanish citadel built between the 16th century and the 18th century on the northern edge of San Juan.

Meeting the tour guide and Mr Efren from the 82nd airborne. The amount I spent wasn’t too much, the boats were in great shape and the communication was nice.

Great way to see the island and El Morro from another point! Hard work but tons of fun! When we got tired, we just rested and put our feet in the water. :)

I never made it to the excursion due to the it raining all day on May 10th. I requested a refund and was denied a refund! They will take your money and not refund it if it’s due to weather! That’s some type of business to run. Please consider these factors when booking with them. Did not enjoy my trip to San Juan unbelievable!

Our tour guide provided us with a fun and safe experience. He even joked with my mother in law about sharks (she's afraid of them). Waterproof bag provided. We learned all the safety procedure before taking off. It was really a relaxing and thrilling experience and the waves made it better. This tour was a great end to our vacation. The boats were easy to maneuver and operate through the water, (even though my boat had an issue with the pedal almost at the end of our tour), one of the tour guide notice it and fixed it within seconds, which it means that they are paying attention to you because I didn't even noticed until he told me. It was awesome to see Castillo Del Morro and Paseo de la Princesa from the back side. They also took a few pictures at key locations along the trip. 10/10 experience, will definitely recommend.

The most memorable part was when the "tour" guy, who didn't give me a tour at all, left me to float away alone from all the boats waves and I was scared and his response was "actually it's a smooth day."
