The Fajardo area is blessed with many places to visit and we can guarantee that you will not be bored while you reside at Passion Fruit Bed & Breakfast. Below are some of the places you might want to visit during your stay with us. We are sure that several of these attractions will pique your interest.

Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve is one of the most unique reserves in Puerto Rico. Of the seven ecosystems in Puerto Rico, six are represented here. Tours are given from Wednesday through Sunday by reservation only. You will learn a lot about the area and can enjoy the spectacular views from its observation deck. From there, you can see the Bioluminescent Lagoon, Icacos, and other spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. And off in the distance the mountains of El Yunque will call you away from our beautiful seaside village.

The Bioluminescent Lagoon is a must-see. It is the most spectacular natural phenomena in the area. Laguna Grande is one of the three areas in Puerto Rico were bioluminescence is visible year round in the waters at night. The most popular way to view these waters that glow is by kayak. We are associated with a reputable kayak company that offers trips from Las Croabas Park. The park is less than a mile from our guest house and easy to find.

Is sunbathing on a beach more to your liking? Seven Seas Beach is just a ten minute walk form our B & B. There is a minimal charge for parking if you take your car. The beaches here are well maintained and are very popular with the locals on the major holidays of the year. A new bathhouse has been recently built and there are places to rinse off with fresh water after your swim in the ocean.

The island of Icacos is just off the coast about a mile. Local fisherman and boat owners will transport you to Icacos so that you can spend a day on the beach. They disembark from the pier in Las Croabas Park. There is good snorkeling around the island, the best is off the western shore. The white sandy beaches here are very pleasant. From the beach the waters get deep very quickly and caution should be taken.

So the hiker in you would rather get away from the beach crowds. Playa Colorá (Red Beach) and Playa Convento (Convent Beach) are just the places for you. In about forty-five minutes you can walk to either of these more primitive beaches. On a busy holiday Seven Seas Beach will be crowded with several thousand people. However, with just a little effort you can be to either of these beaches where only a few will venture. And the scenery here, especially at Playa Colorá, is breathtaking. Make sure to take your camera.

Luquillo Beach is a short drive away-about ten miles. It again is a very popular beach with the local people. There is a large parking area and much space to spread out and relax on its manicured grounds. The area is maintained by the Compañía Nacionales de Puerto Rico. Again there is a minimal charge for parking.

Put a little gambling into your nightlife with an evening at the local Casino, which is located in the El Conquistador Hotel. This casino boasts a unique "Casablanca" Spanish theme with over 170 table gaming positions and over 200 slot machines. There are several Caribbean stud poker tables, five roulette tables, three craps tables, and a dozen blackjack tables where you can try your luck.

The islands of Culebra and Vieques, to the east of the main island of Puerto Rico, are beautiful and scenic. A ferry to either of these islands departs from the town of Puerto Real, which is just a few miles from Las Croabas. Culebra boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. Flamenco Beach is a fabulous place to spend the day. A tour of the fort on the Island of Vieques makes for an interesting day trip and it too has some wonderful beaches. However, on Vieques, you will need a vehicle, as the beaches are remote and public transportation is not readily accessible to them.

Several companies offer snorkeling trips that leave the Fajardo area. We can recommend these companies upon your arrival. One of the most popular destinations is the coral reef just off the island of Icacos.

Only the locals know about this beautiful place and they often go to the Fajardo River for a picnic. Jumping into the cool waters of the Fajardo River and relaxing on its shore will be a way to absorb some of the local color. It's easy to find and only a short dive away.

Take a break from the heat of the beaches with at trip to the Rainforest. The Caribbean National Forest is the only rainforest in the US Forest Service system. Along route #191 there are many easily accessible places to visit such as; Yokahu Tower, Yuquiyu Snack Shop and upon entering the forest El Portal, The Visitors Center. For the more advance hiker there are many trails to explore. Hiking to the top of El Yunque or to Mount Britton Tower will give you magnificent views of the rainforest and its canopy. Be prepared for rain. After all, it is a rainforest and has acquired that name for an obvious reason.

After all the touring has sapped your energy, rejuvenate in the privacy of our swimming pool. Very few Bed and Breakfast offer this amenity. Here you can relax as you make plans for the next day's adventure. Or just kick back and forget about everything, for a comfortable bed awaits you and, of course, breakfast will be served as usual. But be prepared for the morning quiz. Who is the person that your room is named after?
