Outdoors
Things to do outdoors! Get close to the beach, ocean, forest etc!
Great trails leading to waterfalls, observation points and just fantastic nature all around. On clear/sunny days, you can see PR’s north and south shores from the Mt. Britton Tower. Tip: Look for Juan Diego trail, off the main road, fantastic three level waterfall.

Bio Bay Kayak Tours... A truly unforgettable experience awaits, as you witness hundreds of tiny star-like bioluminescent plankton scintillating like a starry sky as you move through the bay. Wave your paddle through the water in front of you, and be mesmerized by the tiny glowing specs of plankton or Dinoflagellates which are tiny unicellular marine plankton also known as fire plants.
