Best experience, overall Amazing! - Earlier in the morning, Luis texted us about the pick-up, which was so helpful. Then we started our tour. He ensured everyone in the group was okay during our hike, taking us to a place where we would pick different foods. He explained a lot of important things about Puerto Rico, plus helping us with pictures was a plus. Thank you so much for a wonderful Day Luis.

El Yunque Rainforest Hike - Book with Confidence - So glad that we took the recommendation of our hotel concierge and booked the El Yunque Rainforest HikingTour with Puerto Rico Tour Desk. Our guide, Luis, was exceptional! From the basics, such as transportation and logistical communications, to the rainforest hike itself, Luis exceeded expectations. The hike was moderately intense, but we went at a comfortable, leisurely pace that allowed us to really experience and appreciate the biodiversity of the rainforest. Luis introduced us to birds, flowers, snails, lizards, and much more. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with this company, and I’d definitely ask for Luis to be my guide. Great experience!

Wonderful rainforest experience - Great experience. Exploring the rainforest was on my wife’s bucket list, and it did not disappoint. Luis our guide was a skilled communicator and leader. We were confident all was happening as it was supposed to, starting with an early text from Luis. We all stayed together and on time. Luis gave good information about the physicality of the event and let us each enjoy the experience as we were able. Learned a lot and enjoyed our tour guide’s knowledge, good eye for detail, and well considered ideas about nature and our interactions with it. Highly recommended.

Loved the hike to the tower on Mt. Britton trail! - So glad my daughter and I chose the Rainforest Hike on Mt. Britton trail over other options for El Junque Rainforest. Our guide, Luis, was excellent. The view from the tower at the top was outstanding. We saw lots of lizards, geckos, snails and the amazing rainforest plants. PIckup and drop off was super easy. Would definitely do this again on a return trip.

Outstanding visit - We toured El Yunque with a great tour guide named Luis. He took our group of anbou 10 people into the best scenery with a nice hike toward the top of a mountain where the views were stunning. Luis explained the wildlife and plants along the way. Afterwards, we ate lunch at one of the local shops near the park area. Definitely a worthwhile trip

Great home for families with children - We really enjoyed this excursion. We went with our 4 and 7 year old and this one was perfect for them. It started with a ride in a van from our hotel to El Yunque. Then, we did a hike through the rainforest (about 45 minutes loop). We got to see a river, but could not do any swimming (which I hear the water is cold anyway). Then, we drove to a beautiful lookout point. Then, we stopped at some food huts on the way back for some local treats (about 30 minutes).
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and great at pointing out wildlife we may have missed, but he was a bit preachy which rubbed me the wrong way. Overall, great experience though.

El Yunque must be at the top of your to-see list when you're in OSJ - I was excited for this tour since it's a popular attraction. I wanted a tour that focused mostly on hiking and ended up choosing this one. Shalomir, the guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. The meeting time was at 8 am and she called me 10 minutes before to see if I was en route. I understand she has other pickups to make but I wasn't late. The ride to El Yunque took less than an hour, not including pick ups for other passengers, but the ride itself to the parking lot took another 10-15 minutes of twisty turns that might make you car sick. It was still relatively early with few people and the 1 mile hike to the Mt. Britton Lookout Tower was enjoyable, not strenuous with Shalomir pointing out the natural wonders of the forest including birds, walking sticks, and lizards. Without her, I never would have noticed them! The view from the tower was pretty cool and cramped with more and more visitors arriving. The walk back went by much faster.By that time it was almost 12 and the lot was full of cars. Get there early! We stopped at a family-owned food kiosk for lunch. It was okay; the rice and beans was great, but the fried chicken was dry and the pina colada tasted watered down. On the way back to Old San Juan, Shalomir stopped by a river so we could take a quick dip or relax without getting wet, whichever you like.
