Borikua Tours PUERTO RICO
Puerto Rico’s vibrant culture, lush landscapes and rich history offer a travel experience that goes far beyond sun and sand. For those seeking a deeper connection to the island, Borikua Tours — founded in 2010 by a Puerto Rican native — curates immersive journeys that celebrate the true spirit of the Caribbean. From the colourful streets of Old San Juan to the tranquil bays of Vieques, Borikua Tours designs itineraries that go beyond typical sightseeing. With certified local guides and a small group format, each experience is crafted to be personal, educational and unforgettable. Among the most popular excursions is the scenic
Southern Horseback Riding Tour, for guests aged 16 and over. Riders traverse the rolling hills and coastal plains of Puerto Rico’s southern region, passing through verdant pastures alive with tropical birdsong and ending with sweeping sunset views. The experience is led by seasoned local riders who share insights into the land’s history and traditions. Nature-lovers will adore the Bioluminescent Bay
and Rum Tour at La Parguera. The evening begins with a tasting of small-batch local rums, followed
by time to unwind on the beach and dine in the quaint fishing village of La Parguera. The highlight is a private boat ride through glowing waters, where guests can swim among bioluminescent organisms — tiny plankton that light up on contact — creating a surreal and magical experience. Travellers can also venture to Vieques, home to
Mosquito Bay — the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. A silent electric boat glides across shimmering waters, offering an awe-inspiring, eco-friendly encounter with nature. For food-lovers, the Taste of Puerto Rico tour
is a journey through the island’s culinary soul. Based in Caguas, just 30 minutes from San Juan, the tour introduces visitors to traditional dishes such as mofongo — a savoury mash of fried green plantains, garlic and pork crackling — and arroz con habichuelas, the island’s classic rice and beans. Tastings include artisan cheeses and handcrafted sangria, and stops at local institutions such as Sabor Boricua, an artisanal rum house, and The Sangría Factory, where award-winning fruit blends are paired with music and storytelling.
