If you don't go with this tour, just make sure the company you go with has you wearing helmets- mostly unnecessary, but my Otis is careless with his body and I was grateful for the noggin' protection on the waterslide. *Bring Water Shoes!* They had some for sale at the parking lot, but confirm with your tour guide just in case they changed that. I wore lightweight hiking shorts and a tank- a bathing suit felt weird. The boys wore bathing suit bottoms and rash guards. *kid discounts on the trip!* They took pictures for you and uploaded them asap so you don't have to worry about your phone getting wet. Escambron Beach (San Juan), Scuba Dogs - we didn't do a tour, we just bought snorkels for the boys. Beach Hoppin’ in Manatí  (Rent a Car) - car rented with Enterprise At Condado Plaza, San Juan, PR 00907Mar Chiquita- "The slippery limestone one" I would encourage you to look at how beautiful this beach is in pics. It might still be worth it. There was supposed to be a small pool for the kids to play in, but I guess I didn't see it. BRING WATER SHOES, the rocks are SHARPLa Poza de las Mujeres- the hidden gem beach! Tip the guy for your car, street parking can be sus, but you are rewarded for the beach. I would say don't bring valuables just in case. Look this place up on Tik Tok for how to get to the caves, but we didn't go because of high tide and I was nervous with the kids. Use your brain skills! Bring shade and there weren't bathrooms or concessions, it's a beach in the wild 🦀LED Kayak Night Glow Tour in Condado Lagoon - San JuanDistritio - The outdoor Party, Shopping, Food, Zipline, Arcade w/ Aerial Obstacle Course*friends!
