5.00So much fun! Learning more about the history of the forts and buildings, the boats in the dock, the mangroves, and the ocean. Darnell was hilarious and great! He even let us drive a little longer so my daughter could have a turn driving the boat. Because of weather and huge waves we didn't get to go closer to the bay nor did we get to swim, but it was still super fun and we would recommend it!!

5.00It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot more about the forts, the boats in the docks, other buildings and just had fun seeing everything, including a big iguana in the mangrove. Just know that if weather is bad or waves in the bay are high, you won't get to go out there and won't be swimming. But, we didn't mind ..the rest of it was great and Darnell was fantastic and funny!

5.00My friends and I had such an amazing time on this mini boat tour in San Juan! None of us had ever driven a boat before, but Darnell made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. He explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and confident out on the water. I would highly recommend this to anyone, even if you’ve never been on a boat before!
Love it

5.00The best excursion ever! Skip the cruise ship excursions and book directly through east island excursions. Darnell was fantastic! So fun and knowledgeable. He catered the tour to my kids’ interests. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Just beware that the San Juan Bay Marina is a little janky. You’ll think you’re in the wrong place, but ask for directions and you’ll get there.
Fun boatride!

5.00Fun boatride around the bay in San Juan. We had our own boat and the two guides (managers) took us around after a safety briefing. We also had some time to swim! Well worth the money. Felt very safe.
