4.00If you want to see the waterfalls this is not the trip. Lots of food kiosks with local Puerto Rican food to choose from at Luquillo Beach. Bio bay night kayaking is very dark so tricky to maneuver through the water.

4.00The rainforest was amazing! Our guide was phenomenal! The drop off at Luquillo kiosk & beach was just ok. The food was great but the beach was a party beach. Trash & no where to rinse off. The kayaking was fun, but no where near bioluminescent unless u put a tarp over ur head and could kind of see sparks. The time in between events was a little long, but we enjoyed all the staff and the experience! Bring sunscreen & bug spray!
Terrible experience the Yunque and 6 hours at Luquillo. Kayaking was amazing.

1.00My experience with the El Yunque tour was disappointing overall. The visit to the rainforest was extremely short and simple—nothing like the pictures or descriptions shown in the promotion. Then the driver dropped us off at Luquillo Beach at 12:20 p.m. without any explanation and simply left us there. We were not informed that we would have to cover extra costs to rent a beach chair and umbrella, which was an unexpected expense. To make things worse, the driver came back 59 minutes late to pick us up, and we had to wait another 15 minutes for all the other passengers to arrive. Almost 6 Hours at the beach was terrible experience. The kayaking activity was the only part of the tour that was truly amazing. As for the “snacks included” in the package, they were just a small bag of Lays chips—which is unacceptable considering the price we paid for the tour. In summary, the service did not match what was advertised. There was very poor communication, disorganization, hidden costs, and an overall lack of professionalism. Only the kayaking experience met expectations. I would not recommend this tour in its form.
What a day!

5.00What a day! We left our hotel at 8:30 and got back at 9:45. We packed so much into that day. Raphael was great! We had a second driver for the Bio Bay (can't recall his name) but at the end of the night dropped my daughter and I off closer to our hotel so we didn't have to walk our 20 minutes back to hotel.
Great Puerto Rico Tour!

5.00Loved this tour to El Yunque, Luquillo Beach, and the bio bay! The rainforest hike was super chill and perfect for beginners. So many great food options at the Luquillo kiosks—come hungry! The bio bay was amazing to see, but bring lots of bug spray—the mosquitoes were intense. Overall, an awesome experience!

5.00There were so many companies offering tours of the Rain Forest and Bio Bay, we really combed through the details trying to decide which to choose. Ultimately we decided that spending 2hrs at a river in the rain forest was not where we wanted to devote our time so we chose this one and boy were we glad. We had such a great time in the morning with Angel who was hilarious and an awesome guide. We did go to a river, and had 25 min to swim or rock hop and take photos which was the perfect amount of time. We then spent several hours at the beach, got drinks and fun food at our choice of 60 restaurants. In the evening we kayaked out through the Mangroves to the bio bay and saw the luminescence in the water as we splashed it. Kayaking at night in the dark under the stars was something our whole family will remember. You will enjoy this!
