A great time to be had enjoying the views and history of San Juan from your very own mini boat which YOU drive. - My mama and I (ages 60 and 42) got to experience this mini boat tour and it was amazing! We both got to drive the boat and it was a blast! Our Captain was Jaimen and he was so knowledgeable and very experienced in his field. It's too bad he was just filling in for someone else because he made our tour incredibly fun and had extensive knowledge of the history of PR and San Juan specifically. It was nice to be able to view the sights from the water. It can get pretty choppy, but he was very patient with us and let us go at our own speed until we felt comfortable. I do want to mention that where as we were comfortable in the boat just the 2 of us, we would have been pretty cramped if there were 3 or 4 of us. It is a mini boat after all. So if you are going to include 3 or 4, I'd suggest you all be very fit! We had a great time and would def do this again.

Drive your own mini boat touring San Juan Bay with beautiful views and lots of history! - We experienced the San Juan mini boat tour Saturday and it was awesome! We got to drive our own boat and learned a lot about Puerto Ricos history. Our captain and tour guide, Jairam was extremely knowledge and an expert in his field. He was also very personable and pretty funny as well! He made us feel comfortable and we had a blast driving the boat in the San Juan Bay.

So much fun and different experience. - Went with my husband and son. My husband got to drive the mini boat and it turned out to be the highlight of our vacation for him. We drove to a few different historical check points and even docked and swam in the ocean for 20-25 minutes, which was an unexpected surprise but welcomed. Our guide found a starfish for us and just enjoyed riding the waves.
