/

Activity: Montauk weekend getaway

Rating: 4.2 of 5 stars

Websites:

Food: 

  1. The lobster roll
  2. Tacombi
  3. Ruschmeyer's
  4. Gurney's

Activities

  1.  Charter Catamaran 
  2. Montauk Lighthouse

Cost:

Casual lunches ranged around $14-20 pp at the Lobster roll and Tacombi ($) Rushmeyer's and Gurney's are more expensive meals that vary widely depending on order. We did the fixed price menu with several entrees as a group ($$$).

The catamaran was pretty reasonable for large groups. The lighthouse was fun to explore and free if you only want to wander the outside. Admission inside is $10 per adult and $4 per child with additional parking fee

Details: Montauk is a great getaway from NYC when the weather is nice.

Pros: Montauk is a quaint town with nice restaurants amidst expensive casual bars so there is something for everyone. The boat time and beach were very relaxing.  The lighthouse was picturesque. 

Con: the weather fluctuates greatly and sunny days are not as predictable as one would assume during the summer season. The train to Montauk was over 3 hours, so if you are not driving or coming from a flight to a train the commute can be quite a trek. 

Recommended: young adults that need a break from the city, but not the nightlife. Alternatively. wealthy retired people would find it enjoyable.

Activity: Boating in Puerto Rico

Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Website: http://castillotours.com/index.html

Cost:  ~$90/per person including pick up at hotel, lunch, drinks, boat ride, and drop off at hotel

Details: We booked this group package through our hotel La Concha during our stay in Puerto Rico. We went to celebrate our friend who was getting married and we wanted to do a group activity, but it was difficult coordinating with something that everyone could enjoy at a reasonable price. Then we read the details on the all day boating experience.

The process was convenient because they picked us up at the hotel on time. We arrived at a dock, selected fins, and paid the remainder of our tickets (after deposit at hotel). While on the boat the crew immediately offered us beverages as we set sail. Although the weather started off with a drizzle, by the end of the day it was warm enough to enjoy the water. The boat included lunch and unlimited drinks. Customers could chose to relax on or off the boat or snorkel during the two stops.  My group snorkeled and then had fun attempting an underwater photo shoot!

Overall, I had a great experience and the staff was friendly (including the guy waving at the end of the video). 

Recommended for: couples, young adults, friend groups, birthday party
