Itinerary Description

Get ready to share the adventure of a lifetime on this couples' trip to Puerto Rico. We'll station ourselves in San Juan where the fun begins with a walking experience through the charming, historic avenues of Old San Juan. A tandem kayaking excursion and a special dinner give you time to bond with your partner before we depart for the El Yunque Rainforest and the stunning Luquillo Beach, both of which provide the perfect backdrop for a romantic day in nature. A visit to a local coffee plantation will round out our time in Puerto Rico. This trip would be delightful solo; it's only made better when it's shared.
