Spring Break Island Escape to Puerto Rico with Derrick Ochiagha
Your TourHero
Hello, fellow travelers! My name is Derrick, and I'm a college student who loves to explore! I am always ready for a spontaneous adventure — if there is a new place to see or culture to discover, I am on the next flight out. Every country I visit is an opportunity to learn more about this beautiful wide world and a little bit more about myself. It's all the better when I get to do it with others — whether we're close friends or we're meeting up for the first time on a trip, I find that traveling with like minded people will have you bonded for life. And these are the connections that keep me smiling. :)

Details
Day 1
Get your heart racing on a zipline adventure in the jungle
Rise and shine, adventurers! And we promise today will be filled with adventure! We’re headed inland to the Toro Verde Adventure Park, located in the town of Orocovis. This is a place hidden in the rolling forest-covered peaks of Puerto Rico’s Central Mountain Range. Here, it’s all about adrenaline-pumping adventure as you take to the skies on ziplines. Two super-long ziplines — The Beast (1.5 kilometers) and The Monster (2.5 kilometers, the second-longest zipline in the world!) — will ensure unparalleled excitement! Paired with the best mountain views anywhere on the island, this is an experience you won’t soon forget! Once you return to the house, spend some time at the beach, hit up the bars, and enjoy this spring break trip to the fullest!
Day 2
Visit Casa BACARDÍ and indulge your senses on a rum tasting tour
Good morning, travelers! Today, you’ll travel to Casa BACARDÍ and explore the distillery on a guided tour. Not only will you learn about the history of the brand and details regarding production, but you’ll learn how to taste rum the right way and become a rum maestro! On this guided tour, you’ll have the opportunity to taste BACARDÍ’s premium rums, accompanied with a chocolate pairing. Grab a drink at the bar when the tour ends and enjoy the tropical views with a tropical drink!
Day 3
Enjoy a free day to relax and explore
Good morning, travelers! Today, you have nothing on the itinerary. Wake up at your own pace and set your own schedule. Enjoy the sun, the sand, and everything Puerto Rico has to offer.
Day 4
Enjoy free time to relax and explore before partaking in a bioluminescent kayaking experience
Today, wake up at your own pace, grab breakfast, and spend your day on the shoreline. From the house, you’re just a few minutes away from Balneario de Carolina and Isla Verde Beach, both popular choices for those escaping colder temperatures. Enjoy miles of warm, golden sand and pristine turquoise waters. Around 4:30 pm, we’ll head to the Fajardo Bio-Bay to see nature at her finest on a sunset kayaking tour! We’ll have up to three hours to paddle around the world’s brightest bioluminescent bays to see these rare ecosystems in action. We’ll learn about how microscopic, single-celled organisms (dinoflagellates) grow in quantities big enough to produce a “glow-in-the-dark” effect when stimulated by movement. When you paddle or splash the water, these organisms light up brilliantly in spectacular shades of neon blue-green. Our guide will also take us through a mangrove forest with protected fauna, and we’ll get to observe and learn about the constellations at night.
