5.00Exhilarating and beautiful, but challenging and need to be fit to climb up slippery rocks and over logs. Wesley was great guide, very calm, chill and encouraging.

5.00The best tours start with an awesome tour guide, and Bralliam was just that - kind, funny, smart, patient, and showed us the best time! He was so good with our 5.5 year old daughter too - helping her climb and gain confidence throughout the hike. This was the most adventurous excursion we have ever done. We hiked down and up a steep road, through various terrain in the woods, swam and climbed through two caves, walked down a river, and my teenagers jumped off a high cliff. Afterwards, we had a delicious local lunch - rice and beans, ribs, chicken, plantains, etc. Wow! I cannot express how much fun we had - very likely the top tour we’ve ever done. We were on a cruise ship and Bralliam altered the start and end times to be sure we had a full day and got back to the port in plenty of time. That night, he edited all the photos and videos he took of us and sent them to us via email so now we have evidence of our amazing adventure! We absolutely recommend this tour for the adventurous, and even slightly out of shape. And next time we are in Puerto Rico, we’ll reach out to Bralliam with Exploradise to lead us on another fantastic tour!
Amazing experience

5.00We (myself and 16 year old daughter) did the Caves, Canyon & Waterfall Adventure in Charco Azul with Bralliam. The tour included transportation to/from the hotel. Communication was excellent from confirmation the night before, to pickup, and all the way through the tour. Bralliam offered to take photos and videos, which turned out great. Way better than having to carry a camera through water and trying to find the good shots. We had a snack of fruit inside the cave. It was a perfect day. I highly recommend this tour and Bralliam as a guide.
Awesome

5.00At first we had almost cancelled the activity due to an injury but Wesley (our tour guide) ensured yes we would take things slow and our pace. He always checked in and made the experience the best! We also had the best limber and food afterwards. Can’t wait to do this again!
