5.00The experience was incredible. Nate was very knowledgeable. Safety was a priority, helping everyone know where to step and jump. Everyone had a great time on the rope swing, slide and doing the big jump! We had an age range from 63 to 9 years old. Would highly recommend Nate and his tour!
Rugged fun!

5.00We loved our hike and our guide Nate was excellent!!! We chose the caravan option starting in Fajardo, got instructions from Nate, life jackets, and entered the forest! Nate was great at explaining the plants and natural areas. He was also highly skilled and instructive on exactly how and where to walk, how to enter the water falls, and perfect guide for the experience. That water is cold! But such a fun hike!!!

5.00We had such an amazing experience, Ivan was the best tour guide, he broke down Puerto Rico’s history of el yunque national forest to the tee… It was about a 4hr excursion. But for the admission and atmosphere We highly recommend this experience. Definitely a must do when visiting Puerto Rico. (Make sure to wear good shoes with grip for rocks and hiking)
Need to pay attention to the details of your clients.

3.00Didn't know who we were meeting at the rendevu point. Would have been helpful to have description of vehicle or something. we were driving around the different parking lots trying to find our guide. We had people a little less experienced who I think could have used more help from the guide. We were advised not to bring anything? I including sunscreen, hiking shoes? we had stood in the sun a long time. the hiking shoes we had would have been better than water shoes.

5.00This tour was unbelievably awesome! More than we ever could have expected. Our guide Sebas picked us up as we had arranged transportation on top of the tour, and from that moment on we were engaged and impressed. He kept us safe while pushing us a bit out of our comfort zones and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My husband and I (ages 71 and 65) along with our 30 something adult children and their +ones had a blast, hiking, climbing, sliding down, water slides, cliff jumping, and using the rope swing. The watersfalls were beautiful and so powerful! Highly recommend as a nature filled day trip from San Juan!

5.00Sebas the best guide, it was an amazing experience. We joined a large group but the activity was affordable even for children. Very controlled.
Loved it!

5.00We had a great time with our guide, Nelson. He gave us a few facts along the way but focused on fun in the forest which is just what we wanted! This trip isn't for anyone who's not okay with 1-2 ft mud stairs and climbing in water. The fact that he took pictures and videos so we didn't have to worry about it was an extra bonus!
