A private tour of the El Yunque Rain Forest
We will drive through the only tropical rain forest within the US. See some of the amazing views. Be amazed by the waterfalls. Do a short hike. We might even be able to swim on a river (let me know ahead of time).
This is not a regular commercial tour. I will show you different places. I will give you a lot of interesting information in a fun and informal way. You can get to "feel", "breathe," and "enjoy" the rainforest. This tour is suitable for all activity levels.

5.00Javier was on time and asked our experience level and then took us on a wonderful trip through the rain forest.... Whey then changed gears and headed to cave section... The beauty of this was Javier talked about the history of the island, the flora of the rain forest and various other sites we passed on our trip.... Was well worth it and Javier has it together......
Javier was a great guide....

5.00Javier was great and the tour was perfect for us. We were 14 people with a wide range of ages - 4 kids (age 3,6,7,9), 6 college kids, and 4 adults (30s/40s) - so it was hard to come up with the exact itinerary for the day. Javier picked us up and dropped us off at the cruise port (which was hard to find someone to do) and took us first to the river with the rope swing. The older kids LOVED it and some adults and kids tried it too. It was too hard for the 3 and 6 year old but Javier provided life jackets, so they enjoyed just swimming in the river and watching. Next, we went to Yokahu tower and the La Coca Falls viewpoint. If we had more time, we definitely would’ve enjoyed climbing the rocks beside the waterfall. For the last stop, we debated back and forth between a hike to a view at the top of he mountain or a shorter hike to a river we could swim in. We chose the latter and did the Angelito trail - this was my personal favorite part but I’m not sure Javier would go back because he does not have cell service there in case of emergency. (Note that we did though) His prices were also super fair when I compared to other guides and when we emailed him the day before that we were coming to the port 2 hours earlier with 4 more people, he was more than happy to accommodate. Thank you Javier! We hope to meet you again one day!
A tour that focuses on you

5.00We really wanted to experience the rain forest - but needed to go at a slower pace. Javier listened to what we wanted to get out of the experience and exceeded all our expectations. We spent a lot of time learning about the rainforest creatures and getting to see many up close - because that is what we wanted to do. Javier is very knowledgeable about Puerto Rico's history and passionate about sharing it.
10/10 would book again and recommend to anyone

5.00Javier was an awesome tour guide. We were nervous about booking a group tour to the rainforest, since we're not regularly hikers but Javier was very easy going and talked to us about what we wanted to do and said it was basically up to us how much we'd want to hike or just drive around. He was very mindful of our comfort level and was a very chill guide. We took several brief hikes and made scenic stops along the way for photos. He also offered a lot of insight about the PR and all of the plant life at the rainforest.
Excellent tour

5.00Our private tour for four with Ramon was awesome! He was very knowledgeable about all things Puerto Rico and able to answer all the questions from our very inquisitive group! We swam in a private area, saw a beautiful waterfall and the exquisite El Yunque Rainforest! A must do tour!!
Fun trip
