From Las Piedras Hotel we run excursions 5 days a week for those on the excursion package. The accessible excursions are kept small and personal, accompanied by our friendly, professional tour guides, using our own accessible vehicles. Our guides will show you the best of the area and provide you with knowledge and information about the destinations we visit. Most excursions depart Las Piedras at 11 am and return at around 4 or 5pm, but it does vary.
We don’t have a set excursion programme as there are so many different, interesting places that we visit from Las Piedras. We try to keep everybody happy with a mixture of different types of visits during your stay. In one week you would expect to visit the coast at least once, perhaps a market, a nature reserve and a nice town, village or city visit. If you have special requests, just let us know. The excursions are run on a small group basis. Those who have booked the excursion package are guaranteed a place on the tours. For those joining on an ad-hoc basis places are subject to availability.
