Book the adventure!! - This was the best outing of our friend trip in Puerto Rico. We were a group of 8. Pick up locations were good, communication was excellent. The guides were fun and encouraging the whole time. The Saturday trip was more intense and just the adventure we were looking for. Highly recommend booking with them and going on an adventure in the rainforest!

Great Trip - It was a great experience thanks to guide, Eliu and driver Richard who also was a guide. The group was small and they got us there very early in the am before the crowds

Great Tour Guides! - Such a great time! I could never visit Puerto Rico without this experience. Stephanie and Richard were so helpful and went out of their way to make sure we got the best photos. We arrived early before the rest of the tour groups and got the best experience of the day. Would 100% do it again!

The tour guide was very... - The tour guide was very enthusiastic and informative. The drive to the rainforest was comfortable in the bus. The hike to the water activities was a little difficult there was a lot of mud and climbing up and down. When we reached the water activities it was beautiful and people got to jump off the cliffs and swing on the road everyone had a great time.

Great experience but wished for a better tour guide. - The experience itself was amazing. The hike up is a bit tiring so if you are not in good physical shape I do not recommend. The views were amazing, we did various cliff jumps and our tour guide informed us over the wild life and rainforest facts. As for the tour guide she was very sweet. However I did not like how she made us meet her at a location in San Juan. I had booked it with transportation so I would have liked if she could’ve picked us up from our bnb. She seemed to rush things and we barely had anytime time to cool off at the water fall area. Her driving was very reckless and I even got dizzy various times. As for the experience of el Yunque its self was amazing I just wish I had a better tour guide.

Poor communication - I messaged before the experience asking if I could move our start time to 10 am, instead of 8:20 since we had a group of 13 and booked the entire tour. They approved this 16 days before the experience but then on the day before, they had no recollection of this and did not initially want to honor it (despite me sending screenshots of proof of my conversation with the company). After some back and forth, they approved a later start time. On the morning of, they cancelled the tour an hour and a half before it was supposed to start, citing that the cops blocked the entrances off. This was simply not true because we called another tour guide who did end up taking us to the forest. Such a disappointing experience.

False advertising - The trip actually leaves at 6:30am, not 8:30 as advertised, but they don’t tell you that until 5:00 the night before when it’s too late for a refund.
