Experience a 1 hour and 45 minute guided boat journey through the Río Espíritu Santo, one of Puerto Rico’s most biodiverse river systems. This scenic expedition takes you through lush mangrove-lined waterways and calm estuarine waters where freshwater meets the Atlantic.
Often referred to as the “Amazon of Puerto Rico,” this is a one-of-a-kind river experience offering rare access to a protected natural corridor. Guests may encounter birds, iguanas, wild ducks, turtles, and—if luck is on our side—manatees, caiman, and other coastal species.
Along the route, pass the ruins of an old sugarcane train bridge, a glimpse into the island’s agricultural past. Travel is aboard a comfortable pontoon boat with a maximum of 15 guests. A complimentary homemade empanadilla and beverage are included from our charming café.
Free parking available. Accessible by Uber. Bilingual staff (English & Spanish). Life vests - children 12 and under must wear them, adult vests available for emergency use only.
