Dos Mares Rainforest UTV Adventure in Fajardo — Drive to Caribbean Overlooks
Turn a single hour into a high-energy tour of Fajardo’s rainforest ridgelines and coastal overlooks. Drive two-seat Can-Am Mavericks along dirt trails, pause for island views and a Laguna Grande lookout, and learn local ecology from bilingual guides.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet during mounting, dismounting and on dusty, rocky trail sections.
Keep your helmet fastened
Helmets are provided and required—secure the chin strap to reduce wind lift and maintain clear hearing for guide instructions.
Bring water and sun protection
A 1L bottle, sunscreen and sunglasses keep you comfortable on exposed ridge runs and overlook stops.
Check weather and bioluminescence plans
Rain can close the tour; if you want to see the bioluminescent bay itself, book a night kayak tour instead of relying on the daylight overlook.
