Day 1

Touch Down + Tune In

We'll ease into the week at AC Hotel is where essence and nostalgia meet to elevate your experience. It’s got that perfect mix—city hum in the distance, palm trees swaying, and the rooftop glow hitting just right.

Come sunset, we’ll gather over cocktails, kick it with the crew, and share a chef-driven welcome dinner to set the tone. Easy vibes, good people, and a warm intro to the island.

Day 2

Jungle Walk + Waterfall Dip + Island Smoke

We’re heading straight into El Yunque’s lush canopy—misty trails, tropical birds, and that deep green stillness you can feel in your chest.

After chasing a few waterfalls and dipping into fresh river water, we’ll slow things down with a hands-on cigar rolling session led by a local master. It’s a vibe—connecting to place through rhythm, craft, and care.

Day 3

Boat Day + Beach Bliss

We’re up early and out on the water, cruising to Culebrita, an untouched gem off the coast. White sand, crystal clear water, and not a soul in sight. Float. Snorkel. Chill.

This one’s all about exhale energy—sun, salt, and that kind of quiet you don’t know you’ve been needing.

Day 4

Hike + Lava Tubes + Bioluminescence

Today’s a deeper dive—literally. We’ll hike through wild jungle trails that open up to ancient lava tubes, where you’ll hop into a kayak and paddle through glowing water under filtered light.

Another river swim wraps the day, soaking in the magic of Puerto Rico’s elemental beauty—earth, water, and wonder.

Day 5

Spring Soak + Coastal Ride

We’ll head out to Manatí, where mineral springs bubble beneath quiet hills. It’s a slow morning—just you, the water, and the sky.

After the soak, we’ll ride out on horseback through open fields and coastal paths. The pace shifts, the view expands, and the land shows up soft and strong.

Day 6

Depart + Drift

One last slow morning. Sip your coffee. Catch the view. Let it all settle in.

Then it’s wheels up—bags a little heavier with sand, skin sun-kissed, and something bigger carried home. The island stays with you. Always.

I am a 3-time Camp Yoshi participant and I’ve enjoyed each cultivated experience. Had the pleasure of camping in Moab Utah, San Juan Puerto [Rico], and the San Juan Mountains in Colorado.

The vibes, camp gurus, chef, and excursions were excellent! Can’t wait to return for a 4th round.

FAQ

Every great adventure begins with a few questions—that’s part of the journey. If you're curious about what’s ahead or wondering if this experience is right for you, our FAQs have you covered. You’ll find thoughtful answers to help you feel confident, grounded, and excited for what’s to come.
Who is this trip designed for? (PR)

This trip is for people who want to experience Puerto Rico with intention—moving through place, culture, and community without spectacle or shortcuts. It’s about paying attention: to food, land, people, and pace.

Led by Alex Forestier, the journey stays grounded and relational—swims, hikes, long meals, and time spent where things are actually happening. This isn’t tourism as consumption. It’s showing up properly and letting the place lead.

How big is the group?

Twelve. That’s it. Just enough for a mix of personalities, but small enough that by day two, you’ll know who snores and who always asks for seconds.

Can I arrive late or leave early?

We get it — life happens. But because of how remote some of our trips are, arrivals and departures are coordinated pretty tightly. If you need to arrive late or duck out early, let us know before booking so we can figure out if it’s possible.

Will the itinerary change after booking?

Nature’s the creative director. Weather, permits, or partner shifts may tweak the plan. Nothing cancels—it adapts. You’ll still get the magic, just in a different wrapper.

Do I have to participate in all the activities?

Nope. If you want to skip a hike and linger at the hotel with a book and a poolside spritz, go for it. That said, this trip is designed like a story — each chapter builds on the last. Miss one, and you might miss the plot twist.

What kind of support can I expect?

Think of us as your guides, hosts, and low-key hype team. Your local guide plus the Camp Gurus handle the logistics, transport, meals, and all the behind-the-scenes wizardry. We also roll with wilderness first responders, so you can feel safe going deep. Your only job? Show up and live it.

Are allergies and dietary preferences accommodated?

Yes. Food is the heartbeat here. Vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian — we’ll make sure your plate feels thoughtful. Just know this is harvest-to-table, so flexibility helps. If a fisherman pulls in snapper that morning, it’s going on the grill.

Once you make a payment, each camper on your reservation will receive an e-mail asking to complete their Camper Profile where allergies and dietary restrictions can be shared.

What is your policy around alcohol and drug use?

We love a good toast. Alcohol is not included in the trip price, but campers are welcome to purchase their own — and trust, there will be plenty of opportunities to lean into the island’s rum, wine, and cocktails. At certain meals, we’ll include alcohol pairings (think bubbles at sunset or a local rum tasting), but for the most part, it’s BYOB or direct-purchase.

Cannabis? Only where it’s legal and if it fits the vibe. Out on boats, during hikes, or in technical terrain, it’s off-limits. Trust us: kayaking through a glowing bioluminescent bay at night is a natural high all on its own.

What is your policy around firearms?

Nope. Not here. The only thing we’re shooting is photos and maybe an espresso shot before the hike.

What is your cancellation policy?

We design our experiences with care and commit early to the people and places that make them possible—farmers, chefs, guides, drivers, and hosts. Because of this, our cancellation policy is built to balance flexibility for our guests with fairness to our partners.

If you cancel 90 or more days before departure, you may choose either a full refund minus a 5% processing fee, or a Camp Yoshi credit valid for 18 months. Credits are transferable and can be applied to any Camp Yoshi experience.

If you cancel between 60 and 89 days before departure, you will receive a 50% refund and a 50% Camp Yoshi credit, valid for 18 months.

If you cancel between 31 and 59 days before departure, you will receive a Camp Yoshi credit for 75% of your total trip cost, valid for 12 months. At this stage, most logistics are locked, but we want to make it possible to join us again when timing allows.

Cancellations made within 30 days of departure are non-refundable, as lodging, food, staffing, and permits have been finalized. In some cases, credits may be considered if we are able to fill your spot. We encourage guests to reach out early—communication matters.

At any point prior to departure, you may transfer your reservation to another guest at no additional cost, provided they meet the trip requirements. This is often the easiest way to recover your full investment.

If Camp Yoshi needs to cancel a trip for any reason, guests will receive a full refund or a full Camp Yoshi credit, at their choice.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment against unexpected changes.
