Our Story
2007
Kayaking Puerto Rico’s (KPR) first aquatic adventures are born: the Aquafari Seven Seas Adventure and the Bio Bay Kayak Tour at Laguna Grande bioluminescent bay, in Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve, Fajardo. Immediately, both excursions are positioned among the top attractions in the east coast.
2008
KPR is recognized as the best Tour Operator in Puerto Rico, winning the 2008 Puerto Rico Tourism Company Quality & Excellence Award.
2009
Committed to provide The Best Tours, PERIOD!, KPR creates the Culebra Island Aquafari Adventure at the Luis Peña Channel Nature Reserve —one of the most vibrant, underwater nature reserves in the Caribbean. The KPR Adventure Center also opens its doors, immediately becoming the main stop for eco adventures in Culebra Island.
2010
Our exciting Mini Boats flotilla debuts in KPR’s eco adventures catalog! Pioneering as the only tour of its kind in Puerto Rico, the Island Hop & Snorkel Mini Boat Adventure is the first and only excursion that gives visitors the power to pilot their own 40 horsepower boats through the chain of cays of Arrecifes de La Cordillera Nature Reserve —the top boating and offshore snorkeling site in Puerto Rico.
2014
Puerto Rico is recognized as a World Class Surfing spot. But there weren’t any world class professional surfing lessons offered in the island’s Eastern region. So KPR’s founders created the now famous Surfing Puerto Rico Wave School in Luquillo’s La Pared Beach. For this, they joined forces with Brian Ramos, a Luquillo born pro-surfer and surfing champion. La Pared Beach is recognized by many locals as one of the best places to learn how to surf because of its unique oceanography and sandy bottom and now is available for everyone.
2015
Percy and Dalberto join forces with National Pro Surf Champion Brian Ramos to launch a whole new dream: Surfing Puerto Rico (SPR), at La Pared Beach. Consistently ranked as the #1 tour in Luquillo and regarded by customers of all ages as one of the coolest adventures in the island, SPR opens the door to Puerto Rico’s world-class surfing, offering Surf Lessons & Gear Rentals for the whole family.
2016
KPR grows even further and welcomes two new members to the family: the Fun Cat Catamaran and the Innovation. With the acquisition of Caribbean School of Aquatics, KPR begins to raise the bar of sailing and snorkeling standards in the east coast. The Fun Cat Sail & Snorkel Adventure and the Innovation Snorkel Safari, both at Arrecifes de La Cordillera Nature Reserve, quickly become top-choice offshore eco adventures.
2017
