What To Expect
El Yunque National Forest
The Rainforest & Bio Bay Tour is simply a must! Experience Puerto Rico’s two greatest natural attractions starting with a scenic drive and a stop at a local fruit stand. After an interpretive hike on natural trails lined with beautiful flora and fauna, as well as some river wading and rock scaling, we will arrive at a hidden gem in the heart of the majestic El Yunque National Rainforest. In this breathtaking segment of the forest, you can swim in natural pools, refresh under waterfalls, slide down exhilarating waterslides, swing from ropes into the river, jump from different rock formations, and simply relax to the sounds of cascading waters while soaking in the beauty of this very special place. Enjoy dinner and a break at a local restaurant before the Bio Bay tour.
Laguna Grande
After receiving a few kayaking tips, we will kayak approximately 30 minutes through the Red Mangrove Forest to reach the Bioluminescent Lagoon. Along the way, your Eco Guides will point out the forest's beautiful protected flora and fauna. Upon arrival at Laguna Grande, the sun will set, and the magic will begin. With every stroke of your paddle, sparkles will appear in the water. The kayaks will create a swirl of light, and the fish will glow in the darkness of the water.

5.00Amauri and Jamilex were amazing! They kept my 10 and 8 year old entertained with jokes and were extremely helpful. My kids can’t wait for the next hike.
Would do it again!

5.00What a wonderful experience! We would do it again. Our hosts were wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable! We love scrambling on rocks, rock slides and water swings! The bioluminescent kayak tour was fun & beautiful! Exhausting day, but we LOVED it!
All Day Fun

5.00It was an awesome experience, well worth it our bus driver Amauri was awesome and so were the guides for the hike and kayaking trip. The kayaking was fun but a lot of our group seemed to be struggling with going in a straight line lol. The hike wasn’t too difficult but I definitely would not call it easy. Expect for every part of you to get soaked and bring extra clothes. I wish that they had given us a little more time to change after the kayaking but otherwise an amazing experience. They have a great snack of fresh fruit after the hike and a nice place for dinner as well.

Incredible day of adventure in the rainforest and mangroves

5.00Full day of fun and adventure, beautiful rainforest swimming/hiking and mangrove kayaking. René and Brian were wonderful guides, and shared lots of fascinating info about the ecosystem. There was a lot of attention to detail throughout, including making sure we had helmets and life jackets for safety during the rainforest swimming, providing both beer and non-alc soda after hiking, and even cutting up some delicious fresh fruit for us in the rainforest. Be aware you will get fully submerged while hiking - this is not the tour to bring your expensive camera etc. Bring a towel and change of clothes!
Amazing Rainforest Tour!

5.00Bradley and Jean were the best guides ever! Was nervous about cliff jumping and they were super encouraging, reassuring, and made us feel very safe about having the adventure. Best tour I’ve been on! 1000/10!
My friends and I did the El Yunque tour and the Bio Bay at Laguna Grande.

5.00Aumari and Jean took such amazing care of us! On our hike to el YUNQUE. Everything was great from the pick up (you have to give it like 10 min from the time they give you) We got here and they advise you to leave everything behind, do it. I brought my phone but it was inside one of those waterproof cases. It got in the way a bit Suggest contact lenses if you need them for seeing or tying your glasses to a string. Amauri had to dive to find a couple of them. If youre doing the 2 in one you can bring flip flops or water shoes for after the hike. They provide snacks at the water and one after the hike. At the time of this review we still havent gotten to the restaurant or done the kayak portion. Will update later.
