Tropical paradise - It was truly a great overall experience. El Yunque did not disappoint. We got to go down the natural water slide and jump off the cliff. The hike was not as bad as expected. The crew was super professional and made the already amazing trip even better. Adriana's personality and knowledge of El Yunque was top notch. The other crew memeber was Luis and he was always making sure that we got the help we needed. Overall it was amazing. I would highly recommend using this company if they visit.

Had a better time than everyone else. We won :) - Great experience. Our tour guides were Adriana and Luis who were welcoming, experienced and inclusive. Their positive and tireless attitude were infectious. Safety was a priority and delivered with a sense of humor. It felt like our group was having a better time than the other groups

Unforgettable Experience – Even for a Non-Swimmer! - I absolutely loved this tour! My guides, George and Julian, were spectacular from start to finish. I completed the El Yunque hike, which included breathtaking waterfall cliff dives—something I never imagined doing, especially since I dislike water and can't swim. But thanks to the incredible guidance, humor, and support from George and Julian, I felt completely safe the entire time. They made the experience not only adventurous, but also comfortable and genuinely fun. Their energy was infectious, and their attention to each guest's comfort level was so reassuring. I stepped far outside my comfort zone and had the time of my life. If you’re hesitant or unsure—about the water—or hiking don’t be. This tour is a must, and these guides truly made it unforgettable.

Great tour of El Yunque! - Today, our family had an amazing experience at El Yunque with our tour guides, Jason and Luis. They had a group of 33 guests and we all received outstanding and friendly service! Our guides were great at keeping the group together, motivated, and educated us about the beautiful rainforest. Make sure you bring and wear hiking shoes or water shoes. I recommend this tour. You will have a great time.

BOOK! - Adrianna was the absolute BEST! She’s very educated about the rainforest and the island. It was very fun to learn about the history. I’m not the best climber but I didn’t have to worry about that with her around. 10/10. I definitely recommend requesting adrianna as your tour guide

This is definitely more... - This is definitely more of an adventure tour than an educational tour of the rain forest. Jason was a great guide - very friendly, energetic and focused in ensuring everyone was having a great tour! All the adventures (water slide, rock jump and rope swing) take place in the same body of water. There were a lot of people and relatively long lines for all the activities. The walking / scrambling on wet, slippery, uneven rock and mud surfaces would not be good for anyone with mobility or balance issues! Overall it was a good tour if your group is adventuresome and enjoys a bit of a party atmosphere.

Fun tour for people experienced at swimming and hiking! - This tour was very fun and a good value! The hike itself is short (but on pretty rugged terrain), and most time is spent on water activities - a natural slide, jumping off a few rocks (there are different options at 5, 10, and 15 feet), and swinging on the rope into the water. A couple people in our group chose to stay back during some of the activities because they weren't confident swimmers and/or hikers. Though the lifejackets provided will definitely keep you safe, I would not recommend this tour for people who don't have experience with swimming or hiking through rugged terrain. On the day I was there, the trail and activity area were VERY busy. It was a little funny to witness the dichotomy between how rugged the trail felt and how many tourists were there. After the activities, we stopped for lunch on the way back to San Juan. It was one of those restaurants that you can tell survives on the business of tour groups like ours, but it also happened to be the best local food of my trip. I had mofongo with shrimp and garlic sauce - WOW! Very tasty. I would absolutely recommend this tour for active people looking to get out of San Juan and experience nature/adventure without renting a car.
