5.00My husband booked night tour for us and I was a little worried about that… but OMG it was awesome! We were equipped with backpacks, towels, nighttime lights and water with snacks and delicious fruit. Our tour guides made sure we had the best time possible, and it was so genuine that we felt like we surrounded by friends! Pito was able to find coolest creatures for us to see! Jorge was super informative and tough us the most unique stuff about the plants and Iris educated us on how to truly connect with the El Yunque! Thank you so much! We loved it ❤️

5.00This tour was the highlight of our visit to Puerto Rico! The guides were so kind, patient with our beginning Spanish, knowledgeable, and fun. Swimming in the river and seeing all of the coquis was incredible, not too mention watching fireflies light up the rainforest sky. Highly recommend for persons of any age/ability.

5.00Our guides, George, Iris and Pito were so knowledgeable about El Yunque. The tour provided a bag to carry your stuff, a towel, snacks and water and the red light needed to explore the forest at night. This was a 2.5 tour that included playing around at/in the water. We needed to adjust our tour and Julie was able to accommodate us. I would highly recommend this tour group!
Awesome night tour, excellent people!

5.00Amazing tour of the rainforest! The guides were excellent. Iris gave my wife essentially a personal tour while we lingered in the back of the group. Spotting all the frogs and animals at night was awesome! Don't miss this.
Amazing! Fun experience with kids!

5.00We had an amazing time on the night time tour. We took an easy hike down to a swimming hole, our kids swam and skipped stones across the water. It was a golden hour and the light was so beautiful across the top of the forest. After sunset, it became dark quickly and we each were supplied with red lights to search for wildlife. We found several coqui and heard all the night sounds. Our kids loved it. The tour guides were kind, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend this tour!
Magic rainforest adventure

5.00This was one of the most amazing experience and tour we did in Puerto Rico. It was a truly magical experience to be in the rainforest at night as all the creatures start waking up and hearing all the noises. We saw like 30 coquis (the frog from PR) and tarantulas and insects. As well as fireflies. Truly a very remarkable and unique experience!!! A must!
