5.00Eliu was our guide on this fantastic excursion! He is an all around great guy who provided us with fabulous insights about the El Yunque National Forest & then did an amazing job as he helped lead us safely through a myriad of water challenges that were both exhilarating and a little scary (just because it was something we had never experienced before, not because it was dangerous). Prepare to get wet - but it’s worth it! Thank you again for the spectacular experience, we loved it!
Perfect day

5.00So good! Guide was super helpful, timing of early morning is so much better as the time we were exiting so may groups were arriving and lines were forming just to walk the trail, we didn’t wait at all. Swimsuits under our clothes, we brought a small bag with water and ate our snack after we were back in the van. Don’t overthink it.
Great guide, you’ll be glad this tour starts early trust me!

5.00Catherine “La Taina” was the best tour guide! She so sweet, kind, and funny she really made our tour exceptional! You can tell she loves the island and what she does. I particularly appreciated that we got picked up early, because while at El Yunque on our way back from the waterfalls swim it was PACKED with people making their way up! This allowed us to have a great tour without having to wait for people ahead of us. This key logistical detail alone made this tour stand out and we were grateful to have chosen this company over others. Thank you Taina!
Best Rainforest Tour!

5.00Alex and Richard were the BEST guides and I would strongly recommend them specifically for this tour. They were so friendly and knowledgeable! Got us there early so we didn’t have to wait for anyone in front of us to hike or do the water jumps/slide. They are very safety conscious- they have life vests if you can’t swim (please don’t lie and say you can if you can’t) and they are always there helping the group navigate over the rocks along the hike. This is THE company you want to use for the rainforest tour. You will not regret it and it will end up being the highlight of your trip!
Taino and Richard BEST

5.00Paul and the other guide had provided us with a really supportive and helpful tour! They picked up everyone super early in the morning, so we got to be the first group to get into the rainforest and did not have to wait in line. Highly recommend it.

5.00We had a great experience. Our guide was knowledgeable about the plants and trees in El Yunque. He made sure we made it to the rock slide and cliff jump.
Great experience!

5.00This was a great experience! It was my teenage daughter's favorite excursion of the trip. It was worth it to be part of a small group. We left very early, but we arrived before the crowds. We were able to take pictures without a ton of people in the background.
Great time and a great guide

5.00Paul was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the flora of the rainforest. Paul made it feel like we were family on a hike and not a guided tour. He saved me from being pulled down by the current. I had so much fun today! I would highly recommend doing this before you leave it was AMAZING!
