Which one

Which cave and waterfall tour is right for you

A San Juan hotel without a rental car suits Arenales River Caving from $125 per person. Puerto Rico as a Local collects from selected area hotels. You'll need strong fitness and basic swimming skills for its 7 to 8 hour day.

A family with young children has a gentler option in Countryside Tour by DE TOUR CON ALI LLC. The short waterfall hike costs from $79 per adult and $55 per child aged 2 to 11. Your lunch costs extra.

A cruise day needs room for the 6-hour Countryside Tour and your return to the ship. A later port meeting needs prior arrangement and four guests. If that doesn't fit your port call, use the short tours from the San Juan piers list.

More river time favors Tanamá River Cave Tubing from $110 per adult with Aventureo PR. You'll hike into the canyon and float through cave tunnels. You need your own ride to the meeting point; food isn't included.
