Naguabo: UTV Off-Road Adventure & El Yunque Views

Summary

UTV ride in Naguabo with sea views, rivers, and a final race

You’ll take the wheel for a 50-minute UTV ride through Naguabo’s wild trails with views of El Yunque and the sea. Expect muddy paths, river crossings that splash your shoes, photo stops in open fields, and a friendly race to finish—plus stories from your local guide along the way.

What’s the experience like?

“You sure you’ve driven one of these before?” That’s what our guide, José, asked as he handed me the helmet. I laughed—honestly, I hadn’t. The air smelled like wet grass and a little bit of engine oil, which somehow made it feel more real. We were in Naguabo, about to set off on this UTV adventure across 80 acres of La Finca. The machines looked way bigger up close than I expected. My hands felt clumsy on the wheel at first.

The trail started out bumpy—like, properly bumpy—and José kept pointing out things I’d have missed: flashes of blue from distant sea views, and the way El Yunque loomed green and misty behind us. There was this moment when we splashed through a shallow river (my shoes got soaked; totally worth it) and the water was cold enough to make me yelp. I could hear birds somewhere above all the engine noise, which is funny because you wouldn’t think anything would stick around with all that racket.

We stopped for photos at this spot where you could see everything—the hills, the ocean, even a bit of cloud stuck on the mountain top. Someone tried to get their phone out with muddy hands (didn’t end well). The last part was a race against another rider—my heart was pounding so hard I almost forgot how to steer. I didn’t win, but honestly? Didn’t care much by then. It felt good just to be out there.
