Excellent family adventure

5.00We did the Saturday extended tour with John & Bradley. We hiked the rain forest, did the natural water slide, cliff jumped, and rope swung. Our group was aged 7 to 70. John and Bradley did a great job catering to all our needs and abilities. This was our first activity during our trip to PR. It will be hard to beat. Get to the fruit stand early so you have time to enjoy breakfast, smoothies, and natural fruit drinks before your hike starts.
Wonderful family adventure!

5.00Our El Yunke tour with Renee and Brandon was truly one of a kind experience. From the start they were incredibly communicative and provided clear, easy instructions about where to meet, which made a whole process stress-free. The hike itself was beautiful and a bit physically challenging especially at my age though the guys made it manageable for everyone. Renee and Brandon were attentive the entire time, always offering a hand when crossing tricky rocks and making sure the whole group stayed safe and comfortable. Along the way they pointed out different plans and vegetation in the rainforest, which added a lot to the experience. The water in the natural pools was refreshing but not too cold and it felt amazing after the hike. Most of my group did the cliff jump. One thing I really appreciate it was that they took photos throughout the tour and shared them with the group afterward, so we didn't have to risk damaging our phones around the water and rocks. They even surprised us with a delicious fruit snack, which was a perfect treat during the adventure. Overall, I absolutely recommend this tour. Renee and Brandon were fantastic guides, and experience was memorable from start to finish. After the tour they even recommended restaurants nearby to try based on our personal preferences. Their disposition and hospitality made the tour memorable.
Just go!! You will never stop thinking about it.

Best tour guides ever!

5.00The tour is unforgettable and very well planned. Tour bus is right on time with many pickup locations available, there's a stop at a fruit shop in the morning and the dinner restaurant after the hike is great. We were offered tasty fruits, local coconut drink and beer after the water adventures in the rainforest. Dani and Rene were the best tour guides ever. They made our hike and all the adventures in the rainforest feel very fun and safe at the same time. They're also great photographers so I have great pictures and videos to show off. Their deep passion and knowledge of the rainforest and the history of PR which they shared with us makes this tour very unique and stand out from all the other tours. Highly recommend this unique and amazing tour to anyone visiting the enchanted island of PR!
