El Yunque hike in rain Forest in Puerto Rico

5.00This was an easy location to get to for pick up. Driver was on time. Van held about 14 people and air conditioning not the greatest in back of van. Took about a hour to get to the rain Forest. Loved our driver who did the hike with us. Hike was over a cement path with some rocks in it so as not to erode with landslides. I was glad I had my hiking shoes. Path heads up on an incline …up about 594 feet and took us 39 minutes to the top of Britton tower and about 30 minutes down. We climbed another tower which was 96 steps before the hike and saw a waterfall after the hike. Guide also allowed some time to jump in the river afterwards for those who wanted to cool off or one could relax on rocks. Great day and loved the guide who pointed out some birds ,plants ,and flowers on the hike and the noise of the coqui toad. Our driver March 21st for the 12:30 tour made this hike . He was great but I forgot his name. I would say you need to be in shape for this hike since always going up. Encountered people coming down where you had to move over for passing sometimes onto a muddy surface. Enjoyed this hike.

5.00This was such a great experience. Eli was a great tour guide. He gave us such interesting information on the drive out to the Rainforest. I felt safe with his driving. On the walking portion he did a good job explaining our boundaries and things we would see and experience on this trip. I highly recommend this experience. I hope you have Eli as your guide. He was awesome!

5.00Tour guide was excellent. We stopped at five different places and had plenty of time to see each place. We didn't see many birds, but the diversity of the plants was amazing. Easy to find the van at the plaza

5.00SO FUN! Had an amazing experience with Eli as our tour guide! He was so fun and knowledgeable, it was awesome hearing about the history of the rainforest and Puerto Rico too! The tour was the perfect length, nothing too strenuous and felt like we got to see a lot without being rushed. Be warned, they did not provide water, but we had plenty with our personal bottles we had brought.
The trail is pretty...

5.00The trail is pretty steep. Wear good shoes and be hydrated. Could be quite slippery if wet. The whole excursion is quite nice however.
