Worst Tour

1.00It’s not worth it. Waste of money and time. Nothing exciting or interesting. If you expect Costa Rica rain forest, do not go to this tour. Honestly, the worst adventure tour I’ve ever had. One more: They brought few 8 ounces water for 20 people; ridiculous. This tour may be good for elementary school students.
Enjoyed nature and good company

5.00It was a great experience the tour guide Juan was knowledgeable and educated the group of 8 on many things. The trail hike was a little exhausting but worth it. The weather was nice and breezy. The waterfall was beautiful. It was a 4 hr tour and great scenery throughout.
Incredible tour!

5.00My mom and I took this tour from Old San Juan - it was our first time in Puerto Rico and we wanted to see as much as we could without a car. Our guide was funny and incredibly knowledgeable about the plants, animals, and history of the area. The stops we made were all different and scenic, and we felt like we got a really solid overview of El Yunque. I'd definitely recommend!

5.00Harry was such an amazing guide. He was very informative and knowledgeable. He was patient with all of our picture taking. The rain forest was magical. We came for my granddaughters graduation and she asked to go thru the rain forest. This excursion was not a disappointment. My family had such such good time and I would absolutely recommend this for other travelers.
Fascinating ecosystem. ...

3.00Fascinating ecosystem. Our tour guide was a wonderful driver through the winding roads of the rainforest. Wear bathing suits and be prepared to be wet during the hike. We wish our tour guide shared more knowledge of what we were seeing in the rain forest We could have learned so much more if he had.
Great! As advertised and great tour guides!

El Yunque hike in rain Forest in Puerto Rico

5.00This was an easy location to get to for pick up. Driver was on time. Van held about 14 people and air conditioning not the greatest in back of van. Took about a hour to get to the rain Forest. Loved our driver who did the hike with us. Hike was over a cement path with some rocks in it so as not to erode with landslides. I was glad I had my hiking shoes. Path heads up on an incline …up about 594 feet and took us 39 minutes to the top of Britton tower and about 30 minutes down. We climbed another tower which was 96 steps before the hike and saw a waterfall after the hike. Guide also allowed some time to jump in the river afterwards for those who wanted to cool off or one could relax on rocks. Great day and loved the guide who pointed out some birds ,plants ,and flowers on the hike and the noise of the coqui toad. Our driver March 21st for the 12:30 tour made this hike . He was great but I forgot his name. I would say you need to be in shape for this hike since always going up. Encountered people coming down where you had to move over for passing sometimes onto a muddy surface. Enjoyed this hike.
