We want you to know every corner of Puerto Rico. For this reason, in this adventure, we will be visiting three different unique destinations on the north coast of the island. Visit part of the karst area; the rock formations in this area have formed an unforgettable landscape toward the Atlantic Sea. Enjoy the stunning views from this area and learn about the rich and abundant history of Puerto Rico. We continue our journey to the mountain and visit one of the most impressive caves on the island. The visit will be carried out by experienced and informed guides to give you the best possible experience and finally, we will be going a little further into nature where will visit two waterfalls where you can enjoy the rest of the day on the river. If weather conditions are dangerous, we will visit a natural spring instead.
This is an active tour which requires moderate physical activity and basic swimming skills.

What To Expect
Cueva Ventana
Explore one of the most impressive cave system in the Occidental area with a small group and private guide. Will start on a clean trail down into Cueva Clara, the hike through a beautiful sub tropical forest surrounded by lush vegetation and lime stone formations. Ones we arrive to the cave, will venture in to explore, admire and learn about its formations, ecosystem and history. Continuing to our second cave; a hidden gem with a breath taking view of the Arecibo River.
Rio Tanama
Cool down and enjoy our hidden waterfalls while river trekking into one of the karstic zone canyons. Once we complete a 15-minute hike through the water and beautiful rock formations, we will reach one of the most impressive waterfalls in the northern region. Once there, you will be able to swim, go under the waterfalls, and do some cliff jumping (all optional at the second waterfall). You will get wet and enter the water up to chest level (we provide life jackets). Important: If the weather does not make it safe for us to enter the water, we will go to a natural spring instead.

Absolutely Worth IT!! 😍

5.00Amazing experience! The views at Cueva Ventana were breathtaking and absolutely worth the hike through the caves. We learned so much about the history of this gorgeous island, enjoyed some delicious authentic Puerto Rican food, and had an amazing time from start to finish!! Both tour guides from the Cueva Ventana and this tour were knowledgeable, hilarious, and kept the group entertained all day. La Cueva Del Indio was absolutely stunning in person as well. Just be cautious on the rocks during the hike and definitely wear tennis shoes! Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it! 🇵🇷✨💕
Worth the price

5.00Really enjoyed all of the stops we went on. Recommend booking a tour during the week as the river gets crowded with locals. The last stop was my favorite as it had a lot of history and super cool views. The restaurant was surprisingly good, especially since it was filled with locals. The only thing i would change would be a smaller group. We had 14 people which made things a little bit of a drag at times needing to wait for everyone. Gabo was an awesome guide & a lot of fun.

5.00We visited rock formations close to a beach, hiked and swam on a river and visited a couple of caves. It was all quite different than most tourist excursions. Our tour guide was local and very knowledgable.
Best Day Ever!!!!

5.00Pack wisely. Suggest wearing swimsuit and water/hiking shoes for the first two hikes and then dry clothes for the third hike. Use a backpack for your stuff to leave in van. Want to travel light for the hikes. Our tour guide, Jose, was terrific carrying our phones for photos of the river tour. Pssh, unreal!
Amazing tour

5.00This excursion ended up being even better than we expected. The caves were honestly one of the coolest parts of our entire Puerto Rico trip — way more impressive and exciting than we imagined from the photos. Every stop felt well planned, the timing was organized perfectly, and we never felt rushed while still getting to experience so much in one day. The food was incredible and we got to try some local authentic cuisine. Joe was an amazing host from start to finish. He was funny, personable, accommodating, and did a great job keeping the group engaged the whole time. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and wants everyone to have a great experience. If you’re looking for an excursion that gives you a little bit of everything Puerto Rico has to offer in one day, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

5.00We walked through a cave with three different species of bats, cockroaches, snakes, spiders and was shown stalagmites and stalagmites. We were shown hieroglyphs. We then drove to lunch, and a river where we went into the water and made our way through rocks along limestone, tracked through forested areas on trails to a waterfall. We floated back to where we started wearing lifejackets and helmets. We ate lunch at a local Puerto Rican bbq restaurant. Afterwards he drove us to the most beautiful location on the ocean with moon like craters to walk on to get to a cliff to watch the surf coming in way down below and to show us an ancient cave used for ceremonial activities by native tribes long ago. The end of the trip was the best part. Breathtaking! This is not a day trip for claustrophobic people, people with challenges in walking, climbing, mobility challenges and heights, fear of water.
This was a great...

5.00This was a great experience, with breathtaking views, but definitely don’t skip on safety aspects on this one. You absolutely need water shoes & probably safer to not bring kids along. At the Cueva del Indio, the hike is along cliff edges that are sharp and jagged with holes that drop pretty extreme distances. A little stressful hiking near the children in another group. In the waterfalls, I fell and scraped my knees/shins pretty badly in the very first waterfall. There are huge holes and even bigger rocks under the water that you cannot see. Glad it wasn’t my face, but the fall left me sore & fairly shaken for the rest of the water trek. The Cueva Ventana was wonderful, with bats in little clusters and nesting swallows at the entry points, but also very steep and slippery to access. Our guide was knowledgeable, the food was fantastic & the trip overall was a great time. In the future, I might choose one of the spots and designate a half day trip instead of trying to fit them all into one journey as it is definitely a long day.
Best experience on the island!

5.00Absolutely worth the money plus some ! Our tour guide, Joe Serpa, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. He gave us just enough history to keep us engaged and has quite the sense of humor. The tour took us from the 7 arches of the Sea (beautiful picture opportunity) to a breath taking water fall we all jumped off of (again amazing photo opportunities) to lunch at a local Puerto Rican authentic restaurant (so much food for inexpensive price-is not included in package of tour for two people big meals was 30 bucks) to our grande finale window cave! I’m not gonna lie by the end of the tour when we got to the window cave we were both pretty tired. Make sure you bring snacks, energy drinks, and sunscreen!!!! Overall, 10/10 recommend for anyone who wants a genuine Puerto Rican hidden gem experience. Ask for Joe! You won’t be disappointed!!!
Jose was amazing. So...
