My daughter and I had a great day with Alannah. As they were closer in age, there was lots to chat about beyond the site seeing, and we enjoyed learning about the island, it's people, and rich heritage. Alannah is very well travelled and has maintained a deep connection with her Puerto Rican culture. Even though that day was a major holiday AND the island was experiencing a black out, she found us a couple of lovely seaside places for lunch and snacks, and took us to a few beaches we would never have found on our own if we'd tried. The booking process itself was easy and the owner of the tour company even called personally the evening before to learn of any requests or mobility concerns we may have. They wanted us to have a great time - well before they picked us up at our hotel. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour and Happy Tours Puerto Rico!

5 out of 5 stars

Such a memorable experience and well worth the money. Definitely bring two towels (one for your body & and for over your shoulders), as the boat ride back to shore is very cold and you’ll want to be as dry and warm as possible.

5 out of 5 stars

The guide was highly knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful in guiding me through safely walking the challenging of climbing and descending the rocks. Amazing sites, cultural food, and fun.
