Excellent, best day of our trip

Jamie_A, Mar 2023

This was an amazing experience, so neat and beautiful. Our tour guide Ryan was so much fun, would recommend this to anyone visiting Puerto Rico. My kids wanted to do it again the next day!

Beautiful views! 10/10

Our guide Luis was so entertaining and knowledgable about the area. He really set us all up for a really great and safe time, I would go back again!

Fun excursion!

Laurell_K, Mar 2023

Omar was so full of energy and extremely attentive to safety in each location we visited. Everywhere we went it was busy with other tours, but he made sure we had a safe and fun time. There is not a lot of actual hiking on this trip - so it's perfect if you are looking to have some quick and fun adventures in the rainforest of Puerto Rico.

Best Excursion in PR!

Kylee_P, Mar 2023

Amazing!!!!! A must when you go to PR, our tour guide was great and very accommodating made sure everyone stayed in a group and got the most of the experience. The rainforest was breathtaking and definitely a great memory to have!

Waste of money and time

redz1125, Mar 2023

For $79 pp, this is NOT worth taking. You won't see the top of the mountain. The water slide is shallow and dangerous to slide on. Too many tourist and only spent 30 mins to an hour in one itinerary itinerary. NO tour guide is a possibility. Too expensive when same tour in airbnb for $40 pp. Not worth going when there are NOT much rain. River is very shallow. Check and observe the weather BEFORE buying your expensive ticket.

Great day trip filled...

Viktoria_P, Mar 2023

Great day trip filled with water activities. Short walk in rainforest. Fun waterslide and jumps to the river. The beach time was perfect at the end of the trip. Our driver Ryan made the trip fun. Communication about pick up was easy and prompt. Highly recommend this tour.

Beauty and Fun in one package!

Shanette_B, Mar 2023

Omar was an awesome guide! We went to the food and beach spots locals hang out for delicious authentic foods and relaxed by the beach. But the amazing party was enjoying the water slide and the rope swing into the water in the rainforest. Beauty and fun in one package! With an awesome guide who explained what we were seeing as we traveled through. Pointing out the. national flower, history and tales.

Amazing Time

kimberly_k, Mar 2023

Our tour guide Luis was amazing. He made our trip enjoyable to say the least. He was teamed up with Omar and we were able to interact with other tourists which made the trip fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do a fun excursion day.

Fun and spontaneous!!

Veronica_C, Mar 2023

Had a great time enjoying nature. Tour guide (Papi Chulo) was funny, knew how to entertain the group and highly recommended.

Worth it

Ana_T, Mar 2023

We loved the dip at the 1st 2 stops and the food was great at the last one. We ate at kiosk 38. The food was the best. Yhe beach was beautiful and relaxing. The tour guide Danny was on.🔥.

A blast!!!

Amanda_W, Feb 2023

This was such an amazing tour!! Our guide Bryan, Ryan? Was super informative and answered my daughters 5 million questions all day long. We saw some really great spots and made the best memories. If you’re looking you need to do this tour!!

Fun introduction to El Yunque

Katherine_G, Feb 2023

This is a fun way to spend a day and get introduced to the rainforest. You don’t go into the national park but rather do a couple of quick walks to a river for a swim and a chance to go down a natural rock slide. Then on to Luquillo Beach where we had a delicious lunch with drinks and about an hour to relax on the beach. Fair warning, if you want a chance to really spend time hiking in El Yunque with a guide that can educate you about the ecosystem, this isn’t it. It’s a fun introduction, the forest is beautiful, the food and drinks are tasty and the guides are friendly.

Best Tour Ever!

Adrienne_H, Feb 2023

Where do I start..for one we were outside of the normal coverage area and had trouble finding transportation. Our tour operator Brian decided it would be better to come get us than to let me cancel with 5 kids were looking forward to it. That alone is worth 5 stars to me. Secondly he was very hands on and knowledgeable about the area. I am a BIG woman ok..my being slower than everyone else didn't seem like a bother. There were people of all ages in my group like seriously from infancy to seniors and everyone made it through just fine. I will DEFINITELY be back to do this again!!

Rain Forest Adventure

Anthony_R, Feb 2023

Cliff dive, rope jump, and natural water slide were great! Louis our guide was the best! Great Driver, guide, and comedian!

A MUST DO for first timers to the Island of PR! Loved it!

Kristen_R, Feb 2023

Papi chulo aka Ryan was fantastic! If you want to see the beautiful rainforest and learn about the in and outs of the locals, you should come hang with papi chulo for a bit. The tour offers wonderful options and is absolutely a must for first timers to the island! Thank you, mi amigo! Please know that your work has great value.

Don’t miss it!!

Sherika_w, Feb 2023

Ask for Poppi Chulo!! He was excellent!! The tour gave what it was supposed to give. The spots were fun and beautiful for taking pictures. I loved the beach the most!!!

Puerto Rico Adventure

Faranella_S, Feb 2023

I had a great experience and our Tour Guide Brian was absolutely amazing. He made the experience even more amazing he was a fresh of breath air. I would definitely recommend it to all my friend I would definitely request Brian again as a tour guide.

If swimming is what you want, this is the excursion for you. If you’re interested in seeing the rainforest don’t go

Colleen_S, Feb 2023

The River and waterfall were beautiful. The younger people seemed to enjoy this excursion much more than our older group. The walking was difficult with slippery rocks and mud. We thought we would get to see the majority of the rainforest but the majority of the time was spent swimming. Our guide was super.

Best Gift Ever

Marisol_R, Feb 2023

I gave this excursion to my kid who was traveling with their partner. They LOVED everything about it.

Loved it!

Shenae_L, Feb 2023
