I used to live in PR and return at intervals with students in a Tropical Biology course. I read the review that found Gilligan's Island boring. Maybe my comment will be helpful. The reviewer is correct: it has tiny beaches. If you're looking for large sandy beaches, skip Gilligan's. It's an offshore mangrove island, with channels that have sandy bottoms... more

What a great experience! Beautiful view, lovely weather, friendly faces. I have to admit if I did not go with native Puerto Ricans to the island I would not have known how to enjoy this place. We set up our own area to BBQ and swim. There is a hidden treasure at Guilligans Island. Swim down the Mangroves to view... more

We had a wonderful day at Gilligan's island. We went on a Tuesday and it was slightly more crowded than I expected, but still room to spread out. The water is beautiful and we had so much fun riding the current in the channel. Still, there were a few things we wish we had known. the boat to the island... more

I almost wonder if the people writing the other reviews were at a different island. Gilligans island is the most over rated attraction in Puerto Rico. My wife and I planned to spend 3 or 4 hours over there after we paid the 7 bucks each for the trip over from near the Copamarina. We came back after only an... more

I was staying in Ponce with my boyfriend, who was there for work. During the day, I was on my own and would venture out into downtown Ponce and the area. The hotel told me about the beach at Cana Gorda near Guanica....what she didn't tell me is that the beach is run by the gov't and it was closed... more

We rented kayaks from Mary Lee's by the Sea and paddled over. Our group consisted of 2 families that had kids ranging in age from 4 to 17 years. Kayaks were $10/hour with a max of $35/day. It was a Friday during winter break, which meant the main area was crowded, So we continued to paddle around the various mangrove... more

I used to live in Borinquen/ Ramey Puerto Rico from the age 9-12 years. We explored the island a lot and i must say that this spot is most definitely one of my favorite. We rented a room at a local bed and breakfast. I can't recall the name but it was right on the water. In the day, the... more

I truly loved this island. Unless you are staying in the immediate area I recommend spending the night somewhere nearby so you can truly savor your time at Gilligan's island. I stayed in Dorado on the north coast of Puerto Rico so it was quite a drive for me and my family, but well worth it. After reaching Guanica it... more

I just got back from a day trip to Gilligan's Island in April 2007. It's a lovely little island and is great for everyone....even kids. Wonderful snorkeling among the mangroves...beautiful scenery. You can get from Guanica to the island and back for $6 on a little boat...near the CopaMarina resort. They'll also deliver lunch to you on the island. Make... more
