The best choice for El Yunque!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00My friends and I had the best time on the El Yunque tour with Yatzel as our guide. He was super communicative and followed up to confirm our trip the evening before and the morning of. Meeting up was super easy and we all had an enjoyable ride. Yatzel is super knowledgeable about all things Puerto Rico plus movies and film. It made for a great conversation during the ride to the rainforest because it was many of our first time in Puerto Rico it was very nice to hear history and fun facts. Once we got there a few of us were getting nervous but Yatzel asked what type of experience we wanted in terms of adventure. We were a bit more mild but we all enjoyed the challenge of the routes we took to get to the slides. Yatzel was so thorough and prioritized safety for us and helped us each along the way. Yatzel was super patient and took so many photos for us to have memories to take home. We all thought this was the highlight of our trip. I would book this activity again and look forward to another trip. There are so many tours but this would be my preferred experience because of the small group and commitment to making sure we all had fun safely.

5.00Our experience with Yatzel at El Yunque was amazing! He was so friendly, answered all our questions, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. He really emphasized safety showing us how to walk on the paths and the best positioning for going down the natural water slides, which made everything stress free and even more fun. He also gave great suggestions to make the most of the experience. Overall, such a fun and memorable adventure. Highly recommend!

5.00This was the highlight of my trip. Yatzel is very helpful and well educated on everything Puerto Rico. He made sure our group stayed safe the entire time and taught us techniques to help us with the slippery rocks along the way. He made sure to capture every moment for us while letting us live in the moment. He also recommended multiple things to do for the rest of our week in Puerto Rico while letting us know what wasn’t worth our time. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Puerto Rico!!!
BEST TIME EVER!
