5.00Adriana was very nice and knowledgable. We really enjoyed the entire tour even when it started to rain as we started to hike back down it was still awesome to experience! We had a small group and I’m glad we booked it that way. The couple with us were very nice as well.

5.00Our tour guide, Adriana, was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly accommodating and went out of her way to help when I missed my transportation. She arranged another meetup spot for me that didn’t inconvenience the rest of the group at all, which I truly appreciated. Adriana was extremely knowledgeable about the rainforest and made the entire experience both fun and educational. She even provided a delicious snack for everyone in the group. Her friendly personality made the ride enjoyable—she kept great conversation going the whole time and made my son and me feel very welcome. After the tour, we stopped by the kiosks to eat, shop, and even visit the beach, which was a perfect way to end the day. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!

5.00Jean and Danny were awesome! We had a great experience and lucked out and got an absolutely rain-free day. One thing we didn’t have was any water!! We didn’t bring water bottles because bottled water was listed as part of the package.
Awesome experience in the rain forest!

5.00Adriana was an absolutely amazing tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and shared so many interesting facts and stories throughout the tour. On top of that, she was funny, outgoing, and made the entire experience really fun and engaging. She was also very accommodating and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. What really stood out was how kind and wise she is. You can tell she truly cares about what she does and about the people she’s guiding. Adriana made the day unforgettable, and honestly she is the most memorable and best tour guide I have ever had. I would highly recommend touring with her to anyone visiting the island!

5.00Great excursion. Enrique picked us up in Old San Juan. We stopped at a place on the way to the forest to use the facilities (if you need to “go” at the forest, you’ll need to find a spot to squat) and we able to buy drinks/light snacks. We hiked through the forest to a water hole where participants lounged and swam. Those wishing to try the natural water slide hiked a bit more to that area. Enrique and his colleague Daniel prepared fresh fruit snack for the group. We hiked back to the van and then Enrique drove us to Luquillo for lunch. It was a really fun excursion—highly recommend
