Snorkel Boat Tours - A Day of Sun, Wind & Sea Life
Sun and Fun snorkeling to Icacos island on catamaran sailboat or motorboat. Lunch and beverages included. Hard to beat for a great day of vacation. There are a number of snorkel boat tours that leave out of the Fajardo area and visit reefs and the out-islands.
Hipodromo Camarero - Try Your Luck Betting on the Horses!
Hipodromo Camarero Race Track. It is the only thoroughbred race track in Puerto Rico. If you enjoy horse racing, or just want a fun way to spend a few exciting hours - you can put this on your To-Do list.
The Outlet/Route 66 Mall - Shopping & Games & Movies - Fun Rain or Shine
Looking for a bargain on new designer clothes, a new pair of designer sunglasses, or maybe just some time out of the sun or rain? There is always the all-enclosed air conditioned The Outlet- Route 66 Mall where you can "shop 'til you drop".
Passing some time in the Botanical Garden / Jardin Botanico San Juan UPR
The National Botanical Garden of Puerto Rico is a big name for a lovely green oasis in the middle of a city. Locally, it is known as "el Jardin Botanico". The garden (Jardin Botanico SUR) is affiliated with the University of Puerto Rico (UPR), and it is open to the public free of charge.
A Day at the Beach in Luquillo - Monserrate Balneario
Balneario Monserrate is one of my favorites beaches, just due to the scenery - it is a crescent of fine sand, blue water and lots of mature palm trees for shade. And behind that, you have the Rain Forest - it's picture perfect.
El Yunque National Forest - Rain Forest 101
El Yunque Rain Forest is the only tropical rain forest in the US National Forest system. Ample rainfall (over 200 inches a year in some areas) creates a jungle-like setting - with lush foliage, waterfalls and rivers. Hike along the trails that cover miles of breathtaking terrain.

Icacos - A Secluded Island Paradise
Use one of the private boat "water taxi" ride over to Icacos for a day of quiet beach time and snorkeling. Icacos is a small island off of Fajardo. The boat ride took us only about 10 minutes from the boat launch in Las Croabas.
Bacardi Rum Factory Legacy Tour
We took a trip to Bacardi Rum Factory to see the tour. I have been on other sugar cane and rum tours on other islands and always enjoyed them. This was different, more of a tour about Bacardi that takes place at their factory, but not a whole factory tour. But it is generally entertaining.
