Experience a memorable journey through two of Puerto Rico’s most remarkable coastal destinations on this 5 to 6 hour adventure. The tour begins with a visit to Cueva del Indio in the town of Arecibo, a dramatic limestone cave shaped by the ocean and open to the sky. Known for having one of the largest concentrations of coastal petroglyphs on the island, this area offers striking views of towering cliffs, natural arches, and rock bridges formed by centuries of wave action. The scenery is both powerful and scenic, providing incredible opportunities to explore and capture unique photographs.
The experience continues in the town of Manatí with an easy coastal hike leading to a hidden beach and the open Swallow Bird Cave, also known as Cueva de las Golondrinas. During certain seasons, the cave is filled with nesting birds, creating a lively natural spectacle. Along the way, you may encounter local wildlife such as land crabs and hermit crabs native to Puerto Rico’s shoreline. Throughout the tour, a licensed guide shares insights into the landscape, history, and natural features of each location, ensuring a relaxed yet enriching experience surrounded by breathtaking views.

Very cool, good to learn about the history of the cave as well as the history of the people who found it. The stuff they had to go through to discover it was mad. The stalactite was immense and very easily accessible compared to the top 2 stalactites, just a quick 5 minute walk, mind due you will have to be doubled over cos of the very low roof. Tall people beware!
We went there as walk ins and got onto the next tour even though online it showed there were no slots? Booking in advance is probably still better if you are planning to visit during main season (we were here off season). Our group was pretty small and the one after us were only 2 people. Our guide was entertaining and considerate, checking if everyone saw everything and understood everything volumewise. He also made sure everyone got photos and even took our pictures.
Tour guide was knowledgeable, patient and entertaining. Excellent tour. Hard hat required and the ability to climb steps back up. Well worth the trek.
We visited at noon on a Monday with tickets we purchased online weeks ago. We were the first to arrive for our tour at 11:45, with about 10 of us in total at noon. The tour itself is very short in distance, going down 100 some steps and then back up the same way, but the stalactite inside is magnificent. I've been to cabes across the USA and seen many amazing things, and I was still in awe at how large it was. Definitely worth a quick stop if you're in the area and a fan of caves!
Full disclosure, we did not actually visit the cave, we found it to be exorbitantly expensive, and we've both seen great caves before. But... THEY HAVE DONKEYS AND PYGMY GOATS!!!! It was totally worth swerving off the road for those. They don't seem to care if you feed the donkeys - we fed one of them carrots and no one came out to ask us not to. There's a little cafe and gift shop too. The cave is entry by guided tour only, 45-50 minutes.
