Creator's Key Takeaways

The $10 entrance fee is well worth it to see the inside of the fort and to understand how it was able to defend the island from sea attacks.

San Juan is beautiful and lots to see, but it's hot and humid. Make sure you bring a hat and good walking shoes.

The water was great for snorkeling and really clear, but sadly no manatees.

We highly recommend it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a hat and good walking shoes for the hot and humid weather in San Juan.
βœ“Book a snorkeling with manatees excursion, but have a backup plan in case it's cancelled due to weather.
βœ“Consider adding a few extra days to explore Puerto Rico before or after your cruise.
