Discover Naguabo: Bad Bunny's Flamboyán tree, hidden waterfalls, and the east coast tourists never find.
Stand where Bad Bunny filmed his Flamboyán tree, swim Charco El Hippie before the crowds, watch 1,800 monkeys on Cayo Santiago, and eat seafood on the Malecón de Naguabo boardwalk. Small-group cultural day tour with San Juan hotel pickup.
Another bus. Another checkpoint. Another crowd.
- 40-person group buses that can't stop where a small group can
- El Yunque north-side tourist trail, packed by 9 AM
- Concierge-recommended restaurants built for tourist markup
- Guides reading from a laminated card with no local context
- Charco El Hippie attempted, GPS fails, nobody finds it
- A trip that shows you Puerto Rico from the window
The Puerto Rico your resort concierge doesn't know about.
- Small group, up to 12 guests
- South side of El Yunque, Charco El Hippie before the crowds arrive
- The Malecón de Naguabo, where local fishing families eat lunch
- Our head tour guide grew up on this island. These are his routes, his spots, his stories
- We drive you to Charco El Hippie. Narrow mountain roads, no problem
- A day built for your group: families, teams, wedding parties, photography groups, all welcome
Part of the Discover Series, built for groups who want more.
Solo travelers, couples, families, teams, wedding parties — everyone is welcome. Small-group format means a personal experience without needing to fill a private charter.
Family Trips
From young kids (age 5+) to grandparents. A full day of Puerto Rico at a pace that works for your whole group. Charco El Hippie is a highlight for every age.
Corporate & Team Building
Shared experiences build teams better than conference rooms. A full day of culture, nature, and local food creates real connection. Popular with groups visiting Puerto Rico for conferences and retreats.
Wedding Parties
Your wedding group deserves more than a resort pool day. The Discover Series gives out-of-town guests a day they'll actually talk about at the reception. Bride and groom groups welcome.
Photography & Content Groups
Six locations in one day: waterfall gorge, colonial plazas, Caribbean boardwalk, coastal views. Your guide adjusts pace to give you time at each spot. Bring the long lens.

Built for groups who want the real Puerto Rico.
We Handle the Hard Part
Charco El Hippie is the #1 spot people give up on. Narrow mountain roads, no cell signal, limited parking. We drive you there, guide you in, and bring you back.
Small Group, Big Difference
Your guide adjusts the pace, answers every question, and takes you to spots that don't fit on a large group itinerary.
Eat Where Locals Eat
The Malecón de Naguabo isn't in any resort concierge binder. Over 30 seafood restaurants on a Caribbean boardwalk where fishermen sell the morning catch by lunch.
Real Stories, Not a Script
Taíno petroglyphs in river caves. A celebrity manatee who's lived in the same bay for 30 years. 1,800 monkeys on an island that changed trauma science. Every stop has a story.
What a Discover Naguabo day looks like
We come to you
Your guide picks you up from your hotel. No rental car, no directions, no guessing. The night before, you'll receive a WhatsApp confirmation with your exact pickup time and any last-minute notes.
Puerto Rican coffee and fresh pastries
Your day starts at a local bakery the way mornings are supposed to begin in Puerto Rico. Good coffee, fresh pastries, and the chance to settle in before the adventure begins.
Charco El Hippie: waterfalls, swimming holes, and Taíno petroglyphs
On the south side of El Yunque, the Río Blanco forms crystal-clear pools, waterfalls, and caves where Taíno ancestors carved petroglyphs into the rock hundreds of years ago. You get 90 minutes to swim, explore, and take it all in. Basic swimming ability recommended, guests who prefer not to swim can enjoy the area from the rocks.
Naguabo's twin plazas, the only municipality in Puerto Rico with two
The reason Naguabo has two town plazas involves Carib warriors, a burned settlement, and a town that refused to disappear. Your guide brings the history to life at both plazas, the kind of story you won't find on a laminated card.
Cayo Santiago: Monkey Island
Walk the shoreline across from an island home to 1,800 rhesus macaques who have lived there since 1938. Your guide tells the full story of how they survived Hurricane Maria and how the storm changed their social behavior in ways that surprised scientists worldwide.
Malecón de Naguabo: lunch at one of 30+ seafood kiosks
One of Puerto Rico's most iconic beachfront promenades, but tourists almost never find it. Fishermen bring in the catch each morning and it's on your plate by lunch. Order the famous pastelillos de chapín, trunkfish fritters invented right here in Naguabo, or a whole fried snapper with tostones while watching the waves. This is where local families have eaten for generations. You order what you want, at your own pace, with views of Vieques and Cayo Santiago on the horizon.
Bonus stop: your guide's pick
Depending on the day, season, and how the tour has flowed, your guide may include a bonus stop. Past groups have visited Bad Bunny's iconic Flamboyán tree from his residency stage set and historic Super Bowl performance, located at an undisclosed location exclusive to Paradise Seekers. Others have stopped at Playa El Corcho, a quiet mangrove bay home to Moisés, a celebrity Caribbean manatee rescued in 1991 who still lives in these waters. Part of what makes this a real local experience is that flexibility. Your guide knows this coast, and knows when a stop adds something you'll remember.

A stop your guide picks just for your group.
Between the plazas and the coast, your guide selects a stop based on the season, your group’s energy, and what’s available that day. No two tours are the same. This is the part of the day that makes every Discover Naguabo experience unique.

Playa El Corcho & Moisés
A quiet mangrove bay in the Daguao barrio. Home waters of Moisés, a famous rescued Caribbean manatee who has lived here since 1995. Nature walk through the mangrove ecosystem.
La Finca de Girasoles
A sunflower farm that blooms seasonally. Walk the rows and get group photos you can’t get anywhere else on the island.
Hacienda El Triunfo
A short tour through the ruins and history of Puerto Rico’s sugar cane trade era. A piece of island history most visitors never encounter.
El Vivero de Carrucho
Tour a working conch research facility and learn about conservation efforts in Puerto Rico’s waters. Not open to the general public, this is an exclusive access stop.
Your guide selects from this pool based on the season, your group’s energy, and what’s right for that day. No two tours are identical.

Took three tours with them and it was such a great experience! The tour guides are super engaging and knowledgeable. They truly care about your safety and enjoyment, offering reschedules or other types of tours during rainy times. They really go above and beyond in every level!
Alvin and this tour was amazing. My family of 6 and I got a personalized experience that only a local of Puerto Rico can provide. He took us to a local restaurant where we had the best lobster we've ever had.
I have done many tours with Alvin and Paradise Seekers. Alvin is exceptional, great with kids and adults, knowledgeable, prepared, and safety conscious. I would recommend highly.
My group and I have been joining Alvin and his team for years. Alvin and his team continue to show us the best that Puerto Rico has to offer. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for another great week.
Paradise Seekers knows great spots in the island. They are flexible to your schedule as much as possible, very professional and they just know what they are doing. I didn't hesitate to book again on my second trip.

No. Basic swimming ability is recommended, but not required. The swimming holes are beautiful and the cool water is a highlight for most guests, but if you prefer not to swim, you can explore the area from the rocks, see the Taíno petroglyphs, and take in the waterfalls and scenery. Your guide will help you get the most out of the stop either way.
Yes. Minimum age is 5. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the tour. The pace is relaxed and your guide adjusts to the group. Charco El Hippie involves a short walk on natural terrain, which most kids handle easily. The monkey island stop and manatee walk are particularly popular with younger guests.
Yes. The Discover Naguabo tour includes a stop at the Flamboyán tree featured in Bad Bunny’s 2025 Puerto Rico residency and Super Bowl LX halftime performance. The tree’s exact location is undisclosed. Your guide takes you there as an exclusive stop. No other publicly bookable tour visits it. Very few people outside of Bad Bunny’s production crew have ever stood under it. This tour is how you become one of them.
Discover Naguabo is $175 per person with a 6-guest minimum. Departures are shared, meaning you may be joined by other guests up to a maximum of 12.

Lunch is at the Malecón de Naguabo: over 30 seafood restaurants and kiosks on a beachfront boardwalk right on the Caribbean. Fishermen bring in the morning catch and it is on the menu by midday. Order the famous pastelillos de chapín, a whole fried snapper, or whatever looks good. Meals are not included in the tour price, bring cash or a card. Your guide will help you navigate the options.
The trail to Charco El Hippie involves a downhill walk on natural, uneven ground with some rock stepping. If you have a condition that makes this challenging, let us know ahead of time and your guide will assist where possible. Most guests with mild joint issues manage fine at a relaxed pace. If you are unsure, call us before booking and we will give you an honest answer: 787-209-2127.

Free cancellation is available when you cancel in advance. Tours cancelled by us due to unsafe weather are fully refunded. Full details are included in your booking confirmation. Questions? Call or text us at 787-209-2127.
