Traveling to Puerto Rico!

How to get there

Puerto Rico is a part of the U.S. so you do not need a passport or a visa to go there. Puerto Rico also uses the U.S. dollar for currency there, so you wont have to go through Currency exchange to make purchases there.

Cruise: 

  • Carnival provides a cruise to San Juan, Puerto Rico and a few other places for $499 per person. For a room with an ocean view in the month of April on a Saturday and Sunday, Your price would be $789. Of course that doesn't include some other prices included for cruise experiences. 
Flight:
  • For a round trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico on South West Air lines, The total cost would be $782. The departure would be on May 3rd and you would come back May 7th. They flight would take around 8 hours to Puerto Rico and 6 hours back. 

Where to stay

I found A hotel on cheapcarribean.com. This website includes the price of your round trip flight and your stay at the hotel. 
  • The price to stay there starts at $1,235
  • The price including your flights per person would be $1,314
  • The total price to stay there is $2,628.34.
What to do
  • Kayaking tours range from a price of $50-$150. 
  • There are snorkeling excursions that are about $60. 
  • Trips to go hiking in the rain forest are about $66.
  • You can go sailing for the price of $108. 
There are many of other fun excursions but these are just some of the examples I found on www.viators.com/puerto-rico/tours

Where to go
  • You can visit the El Yunque Rainforest for an exotic experience
  • If you like peace and quiet you can sail to a deserted island called Catamaran. 
  • You also can take a walking tour in Old San Juan which I assume would give you plenty of information on the islands history.
  • You should also go to Casa Bacardí Puerto Rico. Its a place for adults to drink and also take mixing classes. 
  • Lastly you should visit Bio Bay for some night kayaking. 
How much?

  • Assuming you choose to go by cheapcarribean.com the total for your flights and room for 2 people would be $2,678.
  • Food and drinks for 2 nights would be around $250-$300. 
  • I like to relax. So I would probably only do a day and a half of excursions. With that being said, I would probably spend up to $400 on activities. 
My total for the trip would come to: $3,378
