Tourism There are different options to get there: Boat Ferry from Old San Juan Pier #2 It is an 8-10 minute boat ride, for $0.50 cents, which is a true experience on its own and provides true local flavor. Once you arrive at Cataño it takes about 5 minutes to get to the Bacardi Corporation facilities. The only transportation option is a station wagon, known as “Pisa y Corre” which costs about $3.00 each way. To return to the Cataño Pier to take the ferry back to Old San Juan you must take a taxi from the Distillery. The trip costs about $3.00. Private or pre-arranged tour (arranged through your hotel concierge desk or Cruise Activities Department). Starting at $45, this is probably the most expensive option. Prices vary based on private tour arrangements and packages made in 42 advance and designed by the different tour operators or DMC’s (destination management companies) providing the transportation services, logistics and activities of your choice. Taxi cab Depending on your location, a taxi may cost between $16.00 and $45.00. Rental Car There is always the option of renting a car and this alternative may be the best one if you are looking to better manage and control your time during your stay. Prices will vary based on your vehicle preference and rental duration or agreement. Public Transportation It may be the most economical alternative, but certainly the most challenging and adventurous. For specific directions, instructions, pricing and other details you may wish to speak to the Concierge or Front Desk representative at your hotel. Own Personal Car (For locals or residents) Regardless of the transportation alternative you choose, the next time you are in Puerto Rico and wish to have an unforgettable experience, or are looking for a unique and authentic venue to host an event, enter the Bacardi World, stop by Casa Bacardi and enjoy an unforgettable Bacardi experience.
