Traveling to Puerto Rico with kids? These outdoor activities around the Island are sure to make the whole family smile. A family day outdoors comes in many shapes and sizes in Puerto Rico. With 36 nature reserves and 19 state forests, nearly 300 beaches and three bioluminescent bays, imposing mountains and mysterious caves, it’s easy to enjoy the Island’s great outdoors with kids in tow. From kayaking around San Juan to ziplining through the rainforest, discover why Puerto Rico is one of the best places in the Caribbean to travel with kids!
Near El Yunque National Forest, where you can hike and bask under waterfalls, you’ll find Carabalí Rainforest Adventure Park—a 600-acre ranch perfect for an action-packed family outing. Discover endemic flora and fauna on a horseback-riding tour through the foothills, swim in the Mameyes River, or ride along the beach while soaking in breathtaking Atlantic Ocean views. For something faster-paced, race through vegetation, splash through rivers, and take in the rainforest on an exhilarating ATV or UTV ride. Go-karts suit younger kids, while open-wagon hayrides offer a relaxed way to experience the rainforest.
One of the most popular outdoor activities for families in Puerto Rico is ziplining. With steep mountains and lush scenery, you can experience this high-flying adventure in various locations across the island, from the second-longest zipline in the world at Toro Verde Nature Adventure Park (which Jimmy Fallon conquered) to the highest rainforest in Puerto Rico at Toro Negro. There are also shorter courses at El Yunque National Forest, where you’ll find ziplines suited for all types of travelers.
Staying in San Juan? Toro Verde has its own urban zipline park at Distrito T-Mobile. Once you’re back on solid ground, enjoy dining, movies, concerts, and other family-friendly activities in this popular entertainment district.
Discover the magic of Puerto Rico, where every family adventure brings unforgettable memories and joy.
