Rafael was our guide and was amazing!!! He was kind, informative, and funny. Basically, everything you want in a guide! Definitely try to book a tour with him if you can!! Even with other guides in the same area, he showed us things that the other guides clearly didn't want to be bothered with. He went 100% above and beyond and I will always remember this tour! :)

Rafael is the ultimate guide!

Nice Tour

Jeffrey_L, Aug 2022

The tour was great, the hike was good, not too much of a hike down to the river. The river was my favorite part of the tour. The water felt amazing.

Tour Rep was terrific. I...

THOMAS_V, Aug 2022

Tour Rep was terrific. I appreciate his enthusiasm, made the tour fun. Unfortunately, beach part was acceptable. Just a bit dirty

Amazing Day!

Adam_T, Aug 2022

This tour is perfect for people who want to experience the rainforest, see the major landmarks, and learn about the country, but are not looking for long, difficult hikes through dense forest. Our tour guide and driver were amazing! We learned so much about the area and Puerto Rico in general. The swim at the river was very refreshing and relaxing. The kioskos at the beach had delicious and inexpensive food. The beach itself was nice. It is one of the most popular beaches in all Puerto Rico so you will be around tons of other people and families having fun.

Real Nice!!

Stacy_S, May 2022

Our tour guide (Jerry) gave us a lot of info. He was very nice!! It’s about a half mile walk to the river. So pretty! It’s hot so be prepared to sweat!!

Andrea is the best tour guide

Erick_V, May 2022

Andrea the tour guide is amazing! Choose her if you can while booking! The swimming in Angelito trails is incredible. I was not big fan of the beach but the rest of the tour was awesome

Great Experience! Simple and Easy!

TaraHildreth, Apr 2022

Our guide, Raphael, was wonderful. He was friendly and informative. He made sure to connect with all members of the trip making sure everyone felt comfortable and part of the group. I would highly recommend this tour for people looking for a laid back, no pressure, short excursion. It was simple and easy.

Hidden tropical paradise in Puerto Rico

Audra_R, Sep 2021

Jerry, our tour guide, was wonderful. He stopped at a roadside stand on the way to El Yunque and I had the best mango smoothie and a delicious pepperoni empanada (I know that's not the right name but I can't remember it). Then we river nature walk which was only about ten minutes, so if you are worried about not being able to handle it..you totally can. Jerry told us about different plant life there --he's so knowledgeable-- and the tour ended at the beach area. He helped us face our fears and jump from the tier. He was very encouraging and jumped first to show us how to do it. If that wasn't enough, he dropped us off at beautiful Luquillo Beach where there were lots of souvenir shops and restaurants. I had this delicious lobster rice and fried plantains. When he picked us back up fro..that, he told us more about the area as he dropped us back to pur hotel. My daughter and I had a GREAT time. Jerry is friendly, funny, and professional. Highly recommend this experience!!!!

Nice but short

Tiffany, Aug 2021

It was shorter than expected. More time in the forest and less at the river or more time at the beach would be better.

a bit too short !

Jay, Jul 2021

I felt like the actual trip was too short the “walk to the river was about 10 mn long I was expecting a little more than that. My favorite part was the beach but unfortunately we were only there for 1hrs. It took us about 20-30 mn to get some chairs.. overall trip was OK but definitely not what I was expecting PS Food was delicious !!

Good Times

Chris_W, Jul 2021

We had a really good time with Raphael and Louie! Low impact hike in Forrest to a beautiful riverside.

Great experience

Miya_G, Jul 2021

It was so much fun jumping in the river and Luquillo beach was beautiful. Food was great as well. Tour guide was great.

Had a great time !

Jocelyn_C, Jul 2021

Our tour guide was great!. He made us feel so comfortable and made us laugh. He also was very knowledgeable about the history of PR and the rainforest. Loved the river and the beach !

Amazing tour

Octavia_L, Jul 2021

My tour guide was amazing from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable about the island. The home to the river was beautiful and he informed us of what we were seeing the entire trip. We even had a small pop quiz lol once to the river he made sure everyone was comfortable. The river was crystal clear and watching everyone jump into it was soo much fun. He encouraged those of us that wanted to jump to jump and he was always at the bottom waiting. Thank you for such an awesome trip!

Fantastic

Elianise_P, Jun 2021

Fantastic tour, Louis and the driver was very informative. I highly recommend you book your tour soon.

The best experience

Pierre_B, May 2021

Angel was the best guide. Raphael was so kind and knowledgeable. They gave us an amazing experience. Would do this everyday if I could.

Fun natural rock slides and fresh watering hole!

Chanel_A, Jul 2020

Although the national parks are still closed until the island is more open for official tourism, Elias and Edwin made the best of the situation. We had a full itinerary of adventure. They took us to a bathroom break, three local beaches for a quick dip and a photo opp, and a private rock slide and fresh watering hole on the South side of the forest. The entire tour was from door to door pick up was 6 hours (we were just lucky since there’s not many tourism right now). Edwin is very passionate, and on the way there he answered our questions about the history of the islands. However if you want to just sit and relax he will kindly give you space just tell him. He is friendly and warm, and Elias is chill and laid back focusing on the road. They are great guys. The coordination before the tour with Lele and Alex was also very profesional. Given the uncertain times they were transparent and communicative from the beginning by calling me before our trip, we were happy to provide them our business. I will highly recommend them in the future. We will be back!!

Completely worth it

Lina_S, Mar 2020

Our tour guide was funny and interesting. The walk itself was a little rough since it was raining but he was very patient and waited for me and my friend as we took breaks.

Skip it

Susan_T, Feb 2020

Our guide literally never stopped talking. We got out of the van a total of 3 times. The guide was very opinionated about politics and we had zero time to appreciate any of the scenery as a result.

Great and learned a ton!

Lucia_P, Sep 2019

Tour guide and duration were perfect! We had so much fun and learned a ton about the jungle and Puerto Rico.
