    You will need water shoes to navigate the waterfalls. Towel and bathing suit We had fun! Our tour guide Jose was very attentive and really helped us throughout the trip; especially at the waterfalls. The beach was nice and lots of bars and restaurants .

    Worse service ever, they cancel the trip without previous notification. I waited for almost an hour till I called them and found out it was cancelled.

  • Great mix of Adventure and Relaxation

    Tour was very fun. Ride to the rainforest took about 45 min to an hour. Once we were there, it was a short but a bit challenging hike down to the natural water slides and pool. This area was cool but a bit touristy with all the other groups. After, we spent about 2 and a half hours at a little beach town which had different options to get food and drinks. Our guide Jose was nice and helpful throughout the tour

  • Super fun, though a bit slippery!

    I really enjoyed this, but let's be clear -- this is not a tour of the Rainforest -- you go down a very steep, muddy path so that the organization can avoid paying the park entrance fee -- and it is a bit treacherous. Totally worth it go down the waterfall slide, though! The guide was very friendly, and very helpful in making sure no one got hurt. After the waterfall, you go to a pool area, which requires climbing over rocks. This is not an activity for people who are uncomfortable doing this sort of thing. The beach after was very nice - lots of lunch options - the ocean is warm and gorgeous. If you want to actually hike in the rainforest, you will probably have to hire a private guide, FYI.

  • The El Yunque Rainforest...

    The El Yunque Rainforest was amazing and was our second time visiting. The weather was perfect and our group was very supportive. Our tour guide Jose Baez was very rude and unsupportive. He did not wait for the entire group to get through the unsafe path down into the forest. He left half of us to fend for ourselves. He was not considerate enough to take the safer path that would accommodate all parties in our group. He even started yelling at some of us because we did appreciate it guidance.

  • Total waste of time

    This trip is not what is advertised There is no experience of a rain forest or seeing wildlife . False advertising It is being taken down a trial to a water hole This trail ( it’s like something from the black market) is through rock, muck, tree roots and a lot of litter . I saw two used syringes with needles attached and a machete . Yes I’m being totally serious !!!!. Our guide didn't get off to. A Good start as when he pick us up at our hotel he left the van running and it ran on a few meters . The mini bus was awful. Most of the seat belts didn’t work. Yes Jose gave us the history of Puerto Rico .. very interesting but he failed to show any understanding of another guest who was really struggling with the climb and the awful slippiness from the muck . She fell on a number of occasions and he was extremely sharp with her . Lacking patience He refused to let any of us help her even though she was breathless with her asthma. It was totally humiliating for her . The beach which was sold as a beautiful beach was average. Quite dirty and restaurants were totally over priced I do not recommend this trip at all

  • Would do it again

    Had a wonderful time! The activity itself was so much fun! Jose my tour guide was absolutely amazing! He kept us entertained and informed on the bus ride. Made it his business to remember all of our names. He was a pleasure to spend the day with and would definitely recommend this trip and him anytime.

    Absolutely amazing time. José, our guide, was the best. He made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. We had so much fun! José was very informative and attentive. The rainforest was beautiful and serene, and the beach was nice and warm. 10/10 would do it again!

  • Not worth it.

    They sell this as a "hike in the rainforest". But the hike is literally 3 minutes. It's just to get to the location where you can do waterslides and swimming and that's it. You're not really seeing El Yunque. And then they drop you at Luquillo beach where apparently you need to "get drunk" and enjoy. But the beach is polluted and everything is super expensive. This tour was definitely a waste of money. If you want to see the rainforest or beaches around the island, renting a car and going yourself is the better option.
