Our guide was Issac and he did a great job. The tour was about a mile and a half long and informative for the first 1/3. We did not see as many flowers plants or animals as I would expect from a rainforest. Other than numerous snails, walking sticks, a frog and some chickens, that was about it. Second 1/3 was a swim in the river Which was peaceful and fun. The last part was to stop for lunch a a local souvenir and food stop that was delicious.

Overall, it was a good trip. Pros- Isaac, our guide,was fantastic! We really enjoyed the hike in the rainforest. The tower views were beautiful and the swimming area was alot of fun. Cons-Price for the value was a bit high. IWe had to walk to a nearby hotel for pick up and then rode around picking others up at their hotel. It added 40 minutes of ride time, so we were a little frustrated. There was 14 of us in the group, which could be challenging to hear when walking in the rainforest. After the swimming area, they bring you to a local food place. Food was good but workers never smiled and weren't too friendly. We would have preferred to just head home and start the multiple hotel drop off. Glad we experienced the country side!

I’m glad we went and were able to see a very different part of Puerto Rico than San Juan. Our tour guide, Isaac, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Half day tour was the perfect amount of time to spend and still have the afternoon for some other site seeing.

Ingrid was our tour guide and very knowledgeable on the forest. She picked up the group and she provided facts on the way to the forest. We made a couple of stops to see the waterfall, walked a small trail, and then went to the river. The water was very high when we went so we only got our feet wet. Recommend water shoes. We stopped by a local spot on the way home for food (bring cash). Great experience for a family. We traveled with our son (4yr) and it was the perfect trip for young families.

Great experience! Gentle hike, observation tower views, natural swimming hole, and lunch with the locals. Our guide, Isaac, was very knowledgeable about the rainforest and its native flora and fauna.

Issac was wonderful as our guide and driver. He had the group engaged in a nice walk while pointing out different vegetation and small critters and views.
