What To Expect
Torre Yokahu
Dr. Frank H. Wadsworth, a former forest supervisor and director of the IITF, constructed this 69-foot tower in the early 1960s. On a clear day, the Virgin Islands may be seen from Yokah Tower, along with the coastline and four different types of forest: Colorado (smooth to the south), Tabonuco (irregular surrounding with white-leaved Yagrumos), Palm (on the steep slopes), and Cloud Forest (on the peaks). To the east, in the upper Mameyes Valley, is the deep ancient forest of the Bao de Oro Research Natural Area.
Catarata La Coca
La Coca Falls is a magnificent waterfall, rising 1,476 feet (450 meters) above sea level! La Coca Cascades' water falls 85 feet (26 meters) to the bottom of the falls, where it meets a massive rock formation. The location is ideal for taking pictures.

Great way to see El Yunque

5.00Highly recommend this for those looking for an easy way to catch some highlights of El Yunque and spend time at Luquillo Beach without the hassle of driving/parking there. Pickup from San Juan was punctual and easy. The guides Rafael and Joshua were friendly and informative. The nature walk was not difficult, and then there were fun stops at the river (I thought it was too cold for swimming but enjoyed dipping feet it) and climbing the observation tower for better views. We got to the beach around 1 and got a couple of hours for lunch/walking on the beach, which was nice. We were back at hotel after 4. Bring water, snacks, and wear layers/rain jacket for the rainforest.
Angel was awesome!

5.00The touring includes and eco tour guide, a 15 min walk through the rainforest, a stop at a lookout with stunning views, a third stop to a place in the river and a last 2 hour stop at Luquillo beach, where you can eat local cuisine and go to the beach. We did some jet skiing at a reaaonable price. We thought we would go to the water slides but that is a different tour altogether.

5.00Ride to the forest was very comfortable. Air conditioning was a plus. Angel our driver and guide was friendly and gave us interesting facts about PR The forest was amazing so nice to have a guide to lead the way and point out cool things. Waterfall was spectacular. Beach was nice and the food kiosks were yummy. It was great to go on this tour instead of renting a car and trying to figure out where to go.
Probably the best...

3.00Probably the best activity on this whole itinerary was the drop off at Luquillo beach. I had booked this because the description and listing of activities sounded fun and interactive but our short walk through the forest was literally that, short. We didn’t get to see El Puente Roto, our tour guide was funny but even when he was asked about the activities listed he said that all the activities listed were not really activities we were gonna get to do. Was it worth my $80, no.
Best trip!

5.00Great excursion- leave the driving hassle and relax in the tour bus. Our guide Raphael was fantastic. The rain forest is a must see and stopping at Luquillo Beach for lunch was great!
Misleading description of your.

3.00Nice tour of the forest. Easy pace for those not looking for a strenuous activity. Guide was knowledgeable and personable. However, misleading description: information said maximum 13 people. There were 23 people in a packed van. Both English and Spanish speaking so guide had to switch back and forth with the languages. I was very disappointed about this aspect of the trip.
Enjoyable day and so glad...

4.00Enjoyable day and so glad we weren't the ones driving up the narrow, windy roads. Would have liked more time walking through the rain forest (and fewer nature lessons) but got a taste of it. Maybe less time at the beach afterwards
