1000% Recommend - I had such a great time on this rainforest tour! Our guide, Ivan, was incredibly informative and helpful throughout the entire trip. He made sure we felt safe, even helping us climb the rocks with ease. He also took beautiful photos for us that really captured the experience. Ivan’s fun, energetic personality made the day even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour — and if you can, request Ivan as your guide!

Highly recommend for a 6, 8, 43 and 70 year old group - This adventure was even better than the description stated. My sons 6 and 8 gave it an 11 out of 10 stars. It was the "best natural water park ever." My littles, mom (almost 70 years old) and I (43 years old) did the hike, water slide, multiple cliff jumps, and rope swing. It was not strenuous on our bodies, we felt very safe, we were guided at every turn, including the drive up there, and Brittany (our guide) was the best!! We highly recommend this tour, and the only thing I would suggest is to bring a pair of water shoes if you have them. All good if not, as someone is there selling them and takes credit cards.

Visit to the Rainforest❤️ - Low key, end of summer get-away with my 11 and 16 year olds. This excursion was the highlight of our trip! Both kids enjoyed the water slide, cliff jump, and rope swing while I relaxed in the natural pool. We didn’t have a car so we took advantage of the provided transportation and the guide, Brittany, was a gem! Very personable, engaging and, just all around sweet. I must also acknowledge, Ivan, who accommodated my family after traffic and an uber glitch caused us to miss the 8:00 AM tour. Definitely a 5 star experience. Perhaps next time I’ll brave more than just the hike! Recommendations: 1. Wear old sneakers! My kids and I managed in Teva sandals, Crocs, and water shoes with a modest sole but the rocks were smooth and slippery especially after the rain. 2. Don’t bring a lot of extra stuff! If you’re with Brittany, you don’t even need a camera unless you want to snap photos during the hike because she takes photos of each group and of each person during each bonus activity.

Our family (2 adults and... - Our family (2 adults and 11 year old) had an incredible time on the natural water slide tour in El Yunque Rainforest, and Brittany was our guide. She was not only fun and energetic but also extremely knowledgeable about the area. Brittany guided us safely through the rocky terrain, ensuring everyone, including the kids, felt comfortable and confident navigating the climbs. The activities were a blast—sliding down natural rock formations, jumping off small cliffs, and swinging into refreshing pools on a rope swing. The water felt amazing, especially after the hike. Brittany's patience and attentiveness made the adventure enjoyable for all ages. She even went above and beyond and took photos and videos, capturing memories for us. Tip- brings water shoes with good soles, not flimsy ones . I the hike up is about 20 min, inclined but not rocky. Once you get to the water , that's when you have to climb around rocks. Challenging but doable. I highly recommend this tour, We were tempted to do it again ! Be sure to ask for Brittany as your guide :)

Ivan the tour guide - The tour was great and our tour guide was even greater. Ivan was very helpful with some of my family members that weren’t able to make the trip on their own.

Enriching Experience - If you’re thinking about booking this excursion—DO IT! We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Ivan!!!! He was extremely knowledgeable and shared the Puerto Rico’s history with us as we walked through Yunque. The natural slide and water experience was so fun. We had a blast jumping off mini cliffs and cooling off in the nice fresh clean river waters.
