Wonderful way to get off the beaten path and explore the beauty and nature of Puerto Rico. Jose, our tour guide, was excellent and took the time to explain some of the history of Puerto Rico and the caves we were exploring. Very informative and our two kids had a blast.

The guides were very friendly and kind they didn't leave anyone behind while also helping everyone. An older person in my group was a little slower and they helped her through the ENTIRE trail. Amazing experience to do with the family

Lot of walking in a very beautiful area. Once in a lifetime experience. Worth every penny. Adventure guides very nicely and knowledgeable about arrea.

Very unique - guide drives group deep in cave area. One walk up a steep hilll can be difficult 150ft if not in good shape but can be done if go slow. Most difficult part. Sure little swims in cave area not difficult. Must have good clothes, toes shoes since we’ll be walking on rocks in and out of water. If heart good health well worth working out the legs. Wonderful experience! Guides Jose and Caesar were excellent made the experience memorable.

An amazing day filled with making new acquaintances, laughing, seeing an amazing cave system, and floating the river. The hike to and from is no joke, so be ready for a tough walk up and down. But worth every heavy breathing moment! Our tour guides were super! So very nice, informative, and silly/fun.

This was by far the best excursion we have been on! Jose was phenomenal. Be sure to bring sneakers that tou dont mind getting dirty. There is a short but challenging hike in the beginning and at the end.

A mi pareja y Ami nos encantó este tour lo recomendamos al 100%

This was an amazing family experience! We are pretty avid hikers, and have hiked many waterfalls and trails. My family wore water shoes of all types, and we definitely regretted not bringing our hiking boots or tennis shoes. Having sturdy footwear and something to protect your toes is a must! Our tour guides were very kind and showed us the bats in the caves, spiders, and a crawfish (?). They were very helpful in getting us through difficult waters also! I highly recommend this tour and will definitely be back to do it again!

This experience is very robust! Hiking the mountain, through the river, on the banks, through partial and current caves. You are taught about the history of Puerto Rico, the development and history of the area, and about living things in the area. It is very fun but takes quite a bit of physical exertion.

1st and foremost bring snacks and water and bring sneakers not watershoes or crocs. Expect a lot of physical activity. The tour guilds were absolutely amazing and so well versed in the terrain. Would definitely recommend this adventure to anyone.

Amazing trip worth the time and money. You need to be fit to be able to do it. You will get completely wet but it was fun and exciting. The guide was very supportive and helpful.
SukiMatthew_S, Jan 2026
Love the experience and beautiful, stunning! just wish it was more tubing. but I would recommend it!
Jose_Q, Jan 2026
Great adventure! Guides were very knowledgeable and helpful with both English and Spanish speakers. They made a point of pointing out the flora and historical importance of the area. Physically challenging so you need to be up for a challenge.

“It was very thrilling” and a “family friendly adventure” - We loved every part, from the ride in, to hiking the river and tubing back down! All in all, we highly recommend!
Crystal_F, Dec 2025
It is definitely a workout with the inclined hikes, climbing, mud, and slippery rocks but it was a great experience and I would do it again. There were times we had to go against the river current or even climb through small cave areas. So if claustrophobic, you may be a little bothered but its not often. You will also be submersing completely in the water so make sure to have waterproof bags so your personal items dont get wet. The tour guides helped make sure everyone was good and took breaks when needed. The views are beautiful through the cave!

Amazing trip! We really enjoyed everything about our day. It is a serious workout! Bring water and the snack, prepare in advance. Don’t bring water shoes/sandals you need shoes that have a grip for hills and rocks you encounter on the river. You need a waterproof backpack and phone case or you won’t be able to bring anything with you. You not only get wet, you are submerged in water sometimes in places too deep to stand so you’ll have to swim. We felt safe with helmets and life vests but it is a little intimidating at first. We hiked up and floated back down which was really nice, saw lots of animals/critters, and learned some history. All in all, very fun and memories we’ll cherish forever. So grateful to our guide Cesar! We will probably do it again and bring our family in the future.

We had an absolutely amazing time with Tanama River Cave Tubing! From start to finish, Jose and his crew of guides were outstanding knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly passionate about what they do. You can truly feel the care and love they have for their work, the river, and the experience they create for visitors. They were full of fascinating information about the area and its history, while also keeping the day fun with plenty of laughs and great jokes along the way. This was a highlight of our trip, and we would recommend it to anyone visiting Puerto Rico! The Hike is real so be prepared physically and mentally to go up and down some steep cliffs. Cant Wait to come back to do it all over again
Parking: So we were wondering to either uber here or bring our rental but we were concerned where to park. The point located on the map is where you will meet Jose or your other guide and follow them down into the starting point in your vehicle which will be parked on a separate property, it’s just because there’s no cell phone signal that we meet at the maps location. So Glad We Did not Uber

Such a beautiful experience love being within nature tour guides were fun and amazing the whole expeieroncs went well
Natasha_V, Aug 2025
This experience was great, but let me tell you, if you are not in shape to hike down and up steep hills this is not for you. And wear clothes that you won't mind getting dirty because you will get dirty. Our tour guides were wonderful and you can see they love what they do!
Giselle_F, Aug 2025
This was such an a fun experience! I’m so glad I was able to do this with my family. Some hiking involved, and going through the river and caves. Last part you get to go down the river in tubes. It was so much fun! We really enjoyed it. The guides went out of their way to find interesting things to point out and take photos. Highly recommend!

More of a hike than cave tubing. Also make sure you bring proper gear as you will be hiking quite a bit. The tube ride is short, but the overall experience was great and fun. Very very scenic and the guides were very helpful.
Jeanette_B, Jul 2025
Steep Hills for sure. Totally worth all the hike and treading the waters. Definitely sneakers and athletic wear small waterproof bag for snacks and water. tubing back down the river was epic and so relaxing..

Great experience for us! The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Beautiful views and fun all the way.
Vanessa_H, Jun 2025
Such a great start to our trip! There are moments that require a little more physical activity than others but still doable. There was a family with their small kids and the grandparents with us and we still kept a good pace because our guide was great at sectioning everyone in a group. Our guide was awesome at keeping us safe the entire time. Would recommend if you are looking to up your trip a little bit with some adventure. Its worth it and and experience that you wont forget.

Great experience A must do when visiting the island A great nature adventure A learning experience as well

Saw this tour on TikTok, had to try it. Jose was so friendly and informative. All the guides were great! It was a very fun experience.
Cristina_R, Mar 2025
We booked this excursion not expecting to experience everything that we did! It was beyond our expectations! You start at the bottom of the river and then hike upstream for about 2 ish hours! Along the way you learn about the river and the history behind it! Cesar showed the group some fossils, live shrimp, and other cool details during the hike! He also stopped and took pictures in front of some very scenic places! You go through caves, swim in the river, and get pretty muddy! Once you reach the last muddy cave you start down stream and float on tubes, which was very relaxing and so scenic! We would recommend bringing sports clothes like track short, tank top, and a bathing suit underneath! VERY IMPORTANT to bring good tennis shoes or hiking shoes! Everything WILL get wet! Overall such an amazing experience and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!
