Relaxing rainforest walking tour - For those seeking a relaxed visit to El Yunque, this is great opportunity! Our tour guide Francisco (Frankie?) was super friendly and knowledgeable. Very enjoyable (and included a stop at local coffee shop/bakery afterwards).

Rainforest tour without high adventure activities! Learn about the rainforest! - We wanted a rainforest tour which did not focus on water slides, cliff jumping or rope swings. This tour was perfect! It focused instead on the rainforest itself!! Frankie was our tour guide and he grew up in the area, so we learned about the history of the area- agricultural deforestation then reforestation into the current rainforest, impacts of major hurricanes on people and nature. Frankie guided us along some nature trails with great explanations , we photographed a waterfall, drove up to observation tower ( with option to climb it-not difficult ) and had time at the visitor center and a historic swimming hole. Frankie learned everyone’s name in our small group. He was very knowledgeable and tuned in to the interests of the group. We learned about and experienced the natural environment and the animals, people and culture. I highly recommend this tour-it was exactly what I was looking for in a rainforest tour.

Frankie is the best - highly recommend booking this tour! - I booked this trip to kick off my birthday celebration. I immediately knew I'd made the right decision when Frankie pulled up in the tour van and gave me the warmest welcome, reassuring me that even though I was a solo traveler, I would not be alone on the tour. Frankie is an excellent tour guide - he grew up in the Rio Grande region and his love and respect for the rainforest rings clear throughout the tour. Highly recommend booking for travelers who are more interested in the flora, fauna and Indigenous history of El Yunque than water activities (e.g., cliff jumping).

Best rain forest tour - George and Jason were fantastic tour guides! The tour was amazing along with water slides and cliff jumping. They stopped the hike several times to share the natural wonders of El Yunque. Cannot recommend their tour enough.
