5.00Isaac was a great guide!! We traveled with our 20 month old and it was a great time - definitely a work out carrying her. Shared a lot of information of Puerto Rico and the rainforest. Delicious lunch spot after the tour too.

5.00Our guide contacted us the day before the excursion with all the information we needed, which was very helpful. The hike itself was very manageable and enjoyable, and I appreciated that the guide offered both shorter and longer hiking options depending on the group’s comfort level. Our group chose the longer route, and it was absolutely worth it. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the rainforest, plants, and local fruits, and shared so much interesting information throughout the day. The scenery was beautiful, and ending the excursion with a stop for food was a perfect touch. This ended up being one of my favorite experiences in Puerto Rico

5.00We had Ingred and she was unbelievable. She was spunky, fun, and passionate about the tour and history. Afterwards we stopped for lunch and had a great meal as well. To have her as your guide is to have such a wonderful experience.
Absolutely loved this...

5.00Absolutely loved this tour! It was my first time visiting Puerto Rico and I wanted to explore the rainforest. Our guide, Issac was very energetic, informative, and showed us many things about the rainforest. We also stopped at a local food place, where he helped us order Puerto Rican foods to try. I recommend! Thank you to Issac for a wonderful day!

5.00Our guide was amazing and full of fantastic information. He not only lead us on our hike but was always concerned that we all stay together and nobody got left behind. The bus ride was comfortable, and lunch (not included in the cost of the trip) was a treat as we stopped at a delicious roadside stand. I highly recommend. This is NOT a tour for anyone who has any type of mobility issues.

5.00I went with my friend and there was a couple other people on our tour! (including a solo traveler) Our guide isaac was fantastic. We learned so much, hiked a little bit, and got to sight see. At the end we got lunch at a beautiful authentic puerto rican place and ate some good food :) For $58 a person i think it was 100% worth it
Great experience and guide!

5.00We had an excellent tour with Isaac. He was knowledgeable and very nice. He made sure everyone in our group was included and waited if anyone fell behind. The lunch at a true local stop was wonderful. Highly recommend this tour
Wonderful experience....

5.00Wonderful experience. Ingrid was very nice and knowledgeable and seemed to love what she does. I wanted a simple tour that wouldn’t be all day, but would give me information about the history, the agriculture, and the environment, and this was the PERFECT tour for that. I like more of the educational side of things so this was perfect for me because you get a little taste of everything. The food was so good as well.
