Why Aguadilla?
There’s a reason why locations in Aguadilla such as the Villa Montana beach resort are a wedding planner’s dream, and why the various hotels and resorts are popular vacation hotspots.

With that said, where are the best places to go in Aguadilla and what are the best tours to book?
Boat tours
Most of the Aguadilla boat tours start and finish on one of the many beaches in this part or Puerto Rico, with Crash Boat Beach one of the more popular starting points. This is largely thanks to both its proximity to the Eclipse restaurant in Puerto Rico (a great breakfast spot!) and the quality of the tours. Many of these tours combine history with impressive rock formations, marine caves, and plenty of opportunities for snorkelling and other wildlife encounters.
Beach experiences
Aguadilla is, as previously stated, the part of Puerto Rico which boasts the highest number of beaches — but what we haven’t yet discussed is the number of activities available to beachgoers across the island.
The beaches in Aguadilla vary from those suitable for surfing (such as Crash Boat beach and Surfer’s beach), to those which are primed for a more relaxing experience and which enable tourists to paddleboard straight off the shore.
While we’re on the topic of beaches, some other activities which visitors enjoy, include horseback riding along the sand, fishing tours and trips, and scuba diving adventure tours.
Bioluminescent Bay swim
What do you do after dinner at the Eclipse restaurant in Isabela, and before you head to bed? With so much to do in and around Aguadilla, it’s easy to get caught up in the vibrant nightlife culture of the surrounding city — however, there’s one more tour you must not miss as part of your Puerto Rico adventure. The Bioluminescent Bay tour invites visitors to swim in a bay which is lit from under the water and forms one of the greatest natural phenomena on the island. A great way to end the day and your Aguadilla adventure!
