Challenging but Rewarding Natural Water Park

5.00This experience was fun and invigorating. It is a big group and there will be many people doing the same things you’re doing but it’s not a problem. The hike is challenging but rewarding. I would not recommend it for the frail or weak of balance. You can choose to just swim in the water and skip the hard hike but you’ll miss all the good parts of this experience. Wear what you’ll swim in and expect everything you bring with you to get fully wet. Great for adventurous people. The lunch place after the hike and swim was divine. Best puerto rican food we have had so far. Overall very good experience and worth the cost. Miguelito was an extremely fun guide and was so helpful getting everyone through the tough sections of the hike.
Best Time of My Life

5.00Honestly, the most amazing and humbling experience. The cost was completely reasonable, at $60, for a 7 hour tour experience. The atmosphere was so fun and exciting with being able to meet people while enjoying the beauty of El Yunque. My group was around 10 people all quite willing to go on this journey. The tour guide, Mardier, was awesome. He was like a real-life Tarzan, and his knowledge about Puerto Rico’s history was extensive. He made everyone feel safe and welcome! I would say this tour is best for those who are interested in challenging themselves to try new things!
Filled with fun and humor

5.00Fantastic team at Spot On! Truly a fun experience delivered safely and with a sense of joy and humor. Luisme and our driver/co-guide (Bryan) were great! It’s a popular spot but worth the time!
