3 days of diving & snorkeling in Guánica
Every stop below is a 787daily guide pick near Guánica, chosen by distance and what's good in November.
Day 1
Guánica / Gilligan's Island
Calm, clear snorkeling around the mangrove cays of Guánica's protected bay. Gilligan's Island (Cayo Aurora) has shallow reefs; travel guides report its public ferry has not run since the 2020 earthquakes, so people reach it by kayak rented along PR-333. Check before you go.
Fuerte Caprón
Fuerte Caprón is an outdoor viewpoint site in Guánica, in Puerto Rico's Southwest region. Its elevated position gives visitors a spot to look out over the surrounding landscape.
Grampa's Place
Grampa's Place in Lajas offers regional cuisine in a restaurant setting. The restaurant serves traditional dishes.
Directions from Fuerte Caprón
Day 2
La Parguera
Wall diving where the southwest shelf drops off, with 60–80 ft of visibility. La Parguera's bioluminescent bay glows fainter than the bays in Vieques and Fajardo, but it is the only one of the three where tours let you swim; rules change, so check with the operator.

Day 3
Cabo Rojo / Buyé–El Combate
Puerto Rico's southwest corner: clear, shallow flats and reefs off Buyé and El Combate for snorkeling and first dives, and the flat water of Boquerón Bay, between them, where beginners learn to kite.
Playa Los Pozos
Playa Los Pozos, also known as Los Pozos Beach, is a beach in Cabo Rojo in western Puerto Rico. It's a straightforward spot for a day at the shore, part of the stretch of coastline that makes Cabo Rojo a popular beach destination in the region.
Mike's Steak House
Mike's Steak House serves Latin American dishes, including USDA Choice steaks and mofongo rellenos, and has a private pub-cafe type bar. The restaurant is known for its Churrasco al Carbon. It offers a range of options, including chicken, fish, and shrimp dishes.
