Catamaran Sail with Snorkeling
Set sail aboard a catamaran for a delightful time above and below the water. If you've never snorkeled before,
here's your opportunity to learn the sport in a fun and relaxing setting. You'll have the opportunity to
take short dives into the crystal clear Caribbean waters, visiting some of Puerto Rico's abundant living coral reefs.
Once you get to the secluded cove, adjust your mask, slip on your fins and float atop the shimmering surface of the
Caribbean. Below you'll discover a world of fluid motion. Sunshine dancing across the ocean's surface casts rippling
shadows on the ocean floor. Coral reefs stretch their fingers toward the surface, their arms waving with the ocean
currents. Brightly colored tropical fish dart in and out of the coral reefs, while schools of shimmering silver fish
move in near-perfect unison. An unforgettable experience!

Four Track (ATV) Adventure
Get ready for the ultimate adventure because remember, life is too short to walk!
FourTrack Adventures operates on Hacienda Carabali's 600 acre horse ranch and dairy farm, where the
Diaz family has prospered for over 25 years. In the heart of Puerto Rico, FourTrack Adventures offers
a one-hour exhilarating all-terrain vehicle ride that starts at Hacienda Carabali. The ride takes the
group through the foothills of the Rainforest and exposes the riders to the spectacular scenery of Puerto
Rico's east coast. Just think of the excitement... roaming through towering trees, treading through rivers
and traversing through vast rugged rainforest terrain on your own 300cc four track ATV.
Upon arrival you will be given a ten-minute introduction on how to ride and operate a four track, including
safety instructions. Then the real adventure begins as riders follow experienced guides along outlined tracks
through farmland then into the rainforest. The tracks are carefully laid out for safety. The group will climb
hills, negotiate tight corners, roam through rugged terrain, splash through river water, and much more.
Individual riders will take it all at their own speed and within their own capabilities. So, whether you are
experienced rider or a first time rider, you can be sure to have an exhilarating ride!

El Yunque Rainforest Excursion
Named after the good Indian spirit, Yuquiyu, and shelter to the Carib Indians for two hundred years,
El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Spanning 28,000 acres
and reaching an elevation of 3,624 feet, the area receives over 100 billion gallons of rainfall each year.
In El Yunque you will experience many unique sights and sounds unsurpassed by any of the natural wonders.
Breathtaking views of feathery ferns, thick ropelike vines, white tuberoses, ginger, miniature orchids and
some 240 different species of trees are in abundance throughout the area. Home to the Puerto Rican parrot,
El Yunque is also a bird sanctuary and you can hear the wondrous strains of these birds harmonizing with the
tiny, inch-long coqui frogs prevalent to Puerto Rico. Splashing falls and cool shaded pools complement the
total enhancement of the forest. The tour will begin as a motorcoach tour and once you reach a certain point,
a knowledgeable step-aboard guide will take you on a scenic 30 to 45 minute walk along one of the trails.
You will have many photo opportunities as the experienced guide points out the splendor of your surroundings.

Golf
When prominent golf course architect Arthur Hill was enlisted by Puerto Rico's El Conquistador Resort & Golden
Door Spa to design the property's 18-hole golf course, he responded with a golfer's dream come true. The combination
of the luxury El Conquistador Resort with the resulting stunning par 72 Arthur Hills Golf Course provides guests with
all the golf challenges and conveniences that make Caribbean golfing one of life's great pleasures.
Arthur Hills designed the course to be not only aesthetically pleasing but also challenging and player-friendly.
The course's picturesque but daunting hills and bunkers are tamed by cleverly planned lateral movements and broad openings.
The course features elevation changes of more than 200 feet - a rarity for typical flat Caribbean courses - and prevailing
trade winds that add a touch of uncertainty to each round. The greens, dotted with palm trees, are impeccably manicured and
surrounded by lush island flora and fauna. In addition, the 9th and 18th holes share a common green, whose splashing
fountains lead to a waterfall over which the games' last unforgettable shot is made.
