ITINERARY
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1
ARRIVALS
Welcome to Puerto Rico! Everyone will be arriving between 1pm and 2pm. Pick up rental cars and go to the villa, which is about a 15 minute drive from the airport.
We will be staying at Villa Celeste. Once we arrive, we can fight over rooms, do some grocery shopping, and have some snacks before our welcome drinks...
RUM TOUR
At 5pm we have a rum distillery tour at Ron del Barrilito. The tour will last 1-hour and walk us through the history and craftsmanship of Ron del Barrilito, the oldest Puerto Rican rum, “still made in the same place and in the same way since 1880”. And of course, we will get to taste all of their world-class rums! What better way to start our trip to Puerto Rico?
After our rum tour, we will head back to the villa for a catered dinner. Why cook on the first night of vacation? We will want a somewhat early night to get up early for our tour tomorrow.
ThurSDAY, MARCH 2
CATAMARAN TOUR
Today we will be having fun in the sun aboard an 81’ power catamaran! This Culebra Island tour will last from 9am to 3pm, taking us snorkeling at beautiful Caribbean reefs with a stop at the picturesque white sand beach of Flamenco.
The tour will include snacks, a lunch buffet, and beverages – including rum drinks (piña coladas & rum punch)!
CHILL NIGHT
After our catamaran tour, it’s an hour drive back to the villa where we will all probably need a good long nap. Make dinner at the villa (or go out for dinner if we feel like it). Try out the pool and have a chill night at the villa.
FriDAY, MARCH 3
Old San Juan Day
Today is Peter’s 30th birthday! We will start the day off with breakfast at the villa.
When we’re ready, we will drive into Old San Juan to explore this beautiful and historic district for the day – Walk the streets lined with colorful buildings, visit the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro, grab a drink at Barrachina (the birthplace of the piña colada!), eat delicious Puerto Rican food, and more. Then return to the house to get ready for our night out.
Sunset Sail
Once we’re dressed to impress, we will uber to the Old San Juan harbor to start our night of celebrations off with a sunset sail around San Juan Bay aboard a 83′ sail boat (aka our pirate ship!). While admiring the sweeping views of the city, we will also enjoy an open premium bar and light appetizers from local restaurants. The sail lasts from 5pm to 7pm.
PARTAAY TIME
After our sunset sail, we will be picked up at the harbor by our chariot for the night: a party bus! We will start with a stop at the famous La Factoria (featured in the Despacito music video!), a speakeasy style location featuring 6 hidden bars. Then we will head over to La Placita de Santurce, the center of nightlife in San Juan, for bar hopping and dancing.
At 12am we will be dropped off back at the villa, where we can continue the party!
SaturDAY, MARCH 4
RainForest TOUR
Chill morning to recover from last night’s celebrations.
At 1pm, we have a 4-hour guided adventure tour of the El Yunque Rainforest – the only tropical rainforest in the United States. The tour will take us on a hike to two different waterfalls – one with a rope swing and free diving, the second with a natural rock waterslide and a cliff jump. Along the way we will learn about the park’s history, wildlife and trees.
Last night in PR
After our rainforest tour, drive back to the villa. Make dinner at the house, or pick something up on the dive home. Pack, have a more chill night since we gotta get up reaaal early tomorrow for our flights.
SUNDAY, MARCH 5
Departures
Departures early in the morning. Drive to the airport, drop off the rental cars and say adios to Puerto Rico!
