5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mini Boat Adventures / Kayaking Puerto Rico – A Must‑Do Every Time This was my second time visiting Mini Boat Adventures, and once again they delivered an incredible experience. Nani, our instructor, was absolutely outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and full of great energy that made the whole adventure even better. The consistency in service is impressive, and I truly hope they keep it up. The entire staff was amazing from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly, from check‑in to the water experience, and you can tell they really care about making every guest feel comfortable and taken care of. No disappointments at all—just pure fun and great vibes. If you’re in Puerto Rico and looking for an unforgettable adventure, this is the place to go.
Fun, sunny, relaxing, and exciting!
