Each journey is carefully crafted, offering you a window into the heart of Puerto Rico—its iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and untold stories.

Our Story

Turning Dreams into Reality

From humble beginnings, shaped by the warmth of family and community, our journey to Bucketlist Tours was inspired by a desire to bring joy and unforgettable memories to visitors. Raised in a family that believed in hospitality, even when resources were limited, we understood the importance of making people feel special. That lesson, passed down from my grandparents and parents to my son and me, drives everything we do.

As a child, my dreams were fueled by the show *Fantasy Island*, where every guest’s wish was fulfilled. That dream became a reality in 2018, thanks to the creative spark of my young son. Together, we created Bucketlist Tours, turning our love for Puerto Rico into a thriving business offering personalized travel experiences.

From Adversity to Opportunity

Our story is also one of resilience. After Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, we had to start from scratch. I became an Uber driver to support my son, but a simple, profound comment from him changed everything. He encouraged me to follow my childhood dream and share the beauty of Puerto Rico with the world. That spark led to the birth of Bucketlist Tours.

Today, we celebrate Puerto Rico’s stunning landscapes, rich culture, and the enduring spirit of its people. Every tour is more than just a trip—it’s a transformative journey that connects visitors to the island in meaningful ways.
