Excursion Biking in old san juan tour at San Juan

Safety Briefing & Ride Preparation

Your experience begins at the pier in Old San Juan. After a safety briefing and waiver signing, you’ll be fitted with your bike and helmet before heading out on your ride. The adventure starts immediately as you cycle along the seaside toward the Capitol Building, taking in fresh ocean breezes and sweeping coastal views while your guide shares background on Puerto Rico’s government and its historic significance.

Cycling Through Old San Juan’s Historic Core

Continue across the city streets to the San Juan Bautista statue for a photo opportunity before riding through the marked bike lane past Fort San Cristóbal. You’ll enter the heart of Old San Juan via San Francisco Street, stopping to learn about key historical moments and the city’s colonial-era development near City Hall. The route then climbs uphill along San José and San Sebastián Streets, leading to Plaza Quinto Centenario—one of Old San Juan’s most symbolic public squares.

Fortifications, Coastal Views & Return Ride

Your journey continues around the impressive grounds of Castillo San Felipe del Morro, where you’ll pause for photos and stories about the fort’s strategic role in past battles. From there, ride to La Rogativa to hear the local tale of the British attack before dismounting and walking your bike down to Paseo La Princesa. Enjoy beautiful sights along the waterfront promenade, including a stop at the Raíces Fountain, before cycling back to base and walking the final stretch to the ship.
