We had an amazing time on... - We had an amazing time on the zipline and waterfall rappelling adventure. Our main tour guide, Sally, was fantastic, and Francisco, our driver and secondary guide, kept the experience lively and engaging. The third guide (whose name I sadly can't recall) was also great. This adventure is definitely for those in good health with some hiking experience, as the terrain is pretty challenging. The hike is more difficult than expected, so be sure to wear closed-toed shoes with solid traction. The winding mountain roads could also be tough on people who get motion sickness, so keep that in mind. The views were breathtaking, and the activity was a perfect way to kick off our trip. We also loved having Bruno the dog adventure with us! After the adventure, we were treated to a delicious meal made by Abuela, which was a real highlight. Side note: sunscreen isn’t really needed here, and bug spray is DISCOURAGED to help protect the ecosystem. I’d highly recommend this excursion to anyone who loves a good challenge, adventure, and nature!

Best value for your money! - OMG, the best tour I booked in Puerto Rico. The took us on the most beautiful rainforest hike. We hiked up a river and water falls. We rappelled down the most beautiful waterfalls. And then Ziplined back! Finished with the yummiest home cooked grandmas food! If there is a your in Puerto Rico that has the most value for your money, it's this. Our guides Francisco and Saily where phenomenal, we felt very safe the whole time!

Would highly recommend this trip. - We had a great time. We had two adults and two teenage kids. It was great for all of us. Pushed us out of our comfort zone just a little, but not too much. The photos are accurate of the events, and the lunch was good, even for a picky eater like myself. The guides were wonderful and the hospitality was great.

Cool adventure with good food at the end. - Was a very good trip. They were very friendly and helpful for everyone on the trip. The rappelling was a LOT better than I expected (great pics). Grandmas food was awesome. I want more of it.

Great fun! - This was an awesome day of fun with my 14 year old. Our guides were awesome and this was our favorite experience from the trip. Be prepared- this is real hiking and you need to be in good shape to do it. The trail is muddy so appropriate clothing and footwear is a must. I don’t recommend bringing anything with you on the trail other than your phone. The rappel down the waterfall was amazing. Highly recommend this tour.

Very worth your time - If I could give this trip a 10, I would!! So much fun, but you will get very wet and your shoes very muddy, as advertised. Francisco, Sammy, and Sally are excellent guides and give detailed instructions. This one checked all my childhood boxes!! Do not miss this adventure in Puerto Rico!!!

Don’t leave PR without trying it! - My gf and I had an amazing time! The rainforest is unique! Patricia and her team are very friendly and it’s obvious that they love what they do! As someone that is not very comfortable with heights I felt very secure during Rappelling and enjoyed it so much (especially the part that my feet touched the ground)

Worth the challenge! - The guides were great, gave clear instructions and wonderful encouragement. The way up was definitely strenuous but rappelling down and ziplining were worth it, and the waterfalls were lovely. Lunch at abuelita's was a great way to end the adventure.

I recommend - Driving through Cagua and in the hills was great being able to see the mountains and forest. The guides were very knowledgeable and suggested lots of different places to visit around Puerto Rico including restaurants, beaches, and activities. The waterfall rapelling and ziplining were amazing. The guides used top brand equipment and ropes. They made sure you were comfortable the whole time. You should be in good enough shape to hike up hill for a 20 to 30 minutes as we were in the mountains and used our hands frequently.
