Additional Tour Operators we met with and will use when we return for our next trip:

Sofrito Tours - Laura offers a variety of tours around the island She is a doctoral student for a PhD in History in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean and talking to the people who were able to join her on one of her tours, had nothing but the highest of accolades about her tour and wealth of knowledge. 

Isla Caribe tours are dedicated to tours of the town of Ponce in the south.  You can join a tour or hire them for a private tour that can be catered to your interests.  

East Island Excursions - If you’re looking for a water activity, snorkeling, and visiting one of the beautiful island or beaches of Puerto Rico by boat then you are going to want to book with East Island Excursions - they offer a variety of tours so if Culebra, Vieques, Icacos Island are on your list then we recommend that you check them out.
