This was an amazing...

5.00This was an amazing experience. The natural slides, jumping into the pools, and climbing the rocks were things we never thought we’d do, and we had so much fun doing them. All the credit goes to Ivan, our guide, who made everything feel easy and enjoyable with his helpful tips and encouragement. What we loved most was his attitude; it felt like we were hanging out with a friend we’d known for years rather than being on a guided tour. Thank you so much, Ivan!
Nate the Great 🔥 For the Win! Best Tour Guide Ever!

5.00After surviving our bioluminescent bay tour experience (keyword surviving) our expectations were meh for the Rainforest Adventure. Little did we know that God had a plan to redeem us by sending an Angel known locally as “Nate the Great” or “Nate Dawg”! Why is Nate SO GREAT? Well let me tell you why… 1. Nate communicated the details of our excursion in a timely and clear manner. His instructions let us know what to wear, where to meet, timing, and what was going to happen. His great communication skills continued throughout the tour and luckily for us, even after at dinner. 2. Nate is super knowledgeable and a great teacher. We are not plant people (wife probably is), but Nate had us interested and learning about the flora and the fauna of the rainforest throughout our adventure. From the Bread Fruit trees, fainting plant, blue fern, to the wild pigs and the rainforest snails, we learned a ton. It was awesome to have a great teacher explain in depth the fascinating ecology of the rainforest. 3. Nate is patient. Our group never felt rushed, and more importantly it was apparent that Nate himself was not rushing. Nothing can kill a tour vibe more than feeling like you are speeding through the experience, and that was never a thought in our heads. Nate was smooth in his transitions from teacher to technical climbing guide telling us when to pick up the pace and when to slow down and chill. His pacing was perfect! 4. Nate is SAFE! This tour area of the rainforest is WET! Everything is slick and dangerous. You definitely want to make sure you do this tour with someone who is patient and focuses on safety. With Nate you are like Allstate-In Good Hands! Nate took the time to carefully explain every obstacle we encountered. First he would tell us the foot and hand placement, then he would demonstrate it for us, and finally he would watch and help us execute insuring that our traverse was smooth and safe. Nate was also aware of the safety of others. We witnessed Nate coach members of other tours that were doing unsafe things away from their tour guide. He helped some small children climb over some trees and made sure an old man did not slip on the rocks. We never felt like we were in an unsafe situation, but we did see others that were not safe because their tour guide could not keep an eye on everyone due to the large group size. We even saw people slip and fall and get yelled at by their guide-no bueno. If safety is important as it should be…Nate is your guy! 5. Nate’s tour is intimate! As you might expect, because of all of the above, Nate’s tour experience is intimate. It’s like getting a private tour of the rainforest even though you are in a small group. Nate took photos, provided water, helped carry items, etc. More importantly he took the time to get to know the people in his tour. One of our group got stranded by her Uber on the way to the meetup, and Nate went to rescue her and brought her to the tour start point. Other tour guides might have left her as a “no-show”-Not Nate. At the end of the tour Nate asked if we all wanted to go eat dinner at a local eatery, and of course we all went. Nate is now a friend, and believe me, I don’t take in too many friends. 6. Nate is an athlete and entertainer! At every stop of the way Nate was doing something that was entertaining and super extreme. At the washing machine slide he did a flip off a cliff into the deep pool that scared us because we weren’t expecting it. His dive off the 20 foot cliff with a twist and flip as amazing. At the rope swing we looked up and he was damn near in the top of the tree when he took off and launched himself in the air to do a triple back flip into the deep pool. Everyone watching was cheering and clapping for our guide, Nate! It’s kind of cool when your guide is a bad &ss! You have many choices when you do tours, but most of the time you do not know who will be your tour provider. If you want to have the best rainforest adventure take the time to SEEK OUT Nate Rolon and Oasis Island Adventures. I promise that you will not be disappointed because NATE IS GREAT!!! Nate-thank you for the amazing experience. We will see you next Christmas mi hermano!

5.00Informative and fun experience. Nate and Tara were our guides and they made sure we were safe and able to keep up. We learned about the plants and people and history of El Yunque. Followed by going through a thrilling waterslide, cliff jump, and rope swing. Nate is a fantastic guide! You have to see his athletic skills on the tour!
Unforgettable!

5.00My friends and I had an incredible experience with Nate! The tour was informative, breathtaking, and felt completely safe from start to finish. Nate was very attentive to each of our experience levels and offered great tips for navigating the rainforest. He and his trainees were motivating and encouraging, helping everyone embrace the adventure. The hike through El Yunque was a moderate-to-advanced challenge — expect plenty of mud, stream crossings, and even moments of being fully submerged in water! We also had the thrilling opportunity to jump from cliffs into the water. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a fun, challenging, and truly adventurous day in Puerto Rico!

5.00We had an absolutely incredible day exploring El Yunque with Nate and Evan! Nate truly lived up to his nickname, "Nate the Great," and then some. We wholeheartedly recommend this excursion. It was both fun and informative, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything this tour had to offer. Not to mention the top notch photos and videos Nate and Evan took and shared with us.
