This was the most amazing adventure!! Definitely scary at times but we felt extremely safe and tried everything (rappelling, cliff jumping, water slides) The guides were incredible, very nice, and always caught you before you slipped! We had a little trouble finding transportation but we called them and they found us a ride (round trip) I 100% recommended, best part of our trip to San Juan!!

It was amazing from start to finish It’s a bit scary some of the activities, but the guides will hold your hand and help you!

Great time and not to be missed!

Amazing views and experience. Highly recommend! Luismi and Geraldo were great guides making us feel safe while giving an awesome secluded adventure through the mountains, trails and waterfalls with cliff jumps and natural water slides. They graciously shared their knowledge of the natural flora and fauna. We felt like we had all of el Yunque to ourselves!

The highlight of our trip!

Kristin_R, Dec 2023
We had an absolute blast on this trip, ages 17 to 57! Enough excitement and adventure for all, sometimes terrifying, but always safe. The guides are super friendly and helpful and safety conscious. We were invited to eat and drink with them after the activity which was a big highlight of our trip. Ricky is an awesome cook and host!

The guides were really special. Friendly, knowledgeable, skilled. And the adventures were super fun. Plus the setting is beautiful.

Amazing experience!

Reed_R, Apr 2022
Our family had a terrific time with our two guides. This tour was the capstone of our Puerto Rico vacation. It’s a bit hard to get to, but worth the effort to get away from the normal tourist crowds at El Yunque.

Awesome rain forest experience!

Alex_A, Feb 2022
The guides were great, the adventures, awesome, and the scenery breathtaking. A lot was crammed into the 4 hours that we were out. Natural water slide down a smooth face rock formation, cat-walking suspension wires (while harnessed in), rock climbing, rappeling down a waterfall, and cliff jumping. Couldn't have done all that without these guys leading us Oh, and we got to see old Taino rock art. Our group was small, which was nice - we got to move faster. Bring shoes that are grippy on slick rock, your trail running shoes are NOT the right choice here. You will get and stay wet too. Would definitely do this one again.

Great

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A awesome experience. You must book this experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Special thanks to Edgar who went above and beyond just being a tour operator. He dived in the waterfall to find my husband’s watch that he lost after rappelling down the wall. All the men were very attentive and really encouraged us to complete the excursion. I felt very safe and feel like I have a new set in g skills thanks to them guys!

Amazing time

This gets a 10/10

Jessica_N, Jun 2021
This was absolutely amazing!! I did the full day and it was one of my favorite things we have done. This isn’t for people who don’t want to actually hike up the mountain. It takes some effort to get to the top but it is totally worth it. Our tour guides were incredible, we had Luis Miguel, Edguardo, & Fabiola & they knew so much and always made sure everyone was good. Honestly I want to do it again it was so much fun.

Fun time

Melanie_J, May 2021
We had issues with transportation but Ricky worked it all out and even called us when we were late!!! Edgar was a phenomenal guide. They were great. It was just water activities in the rainforest. Not whitewater rafting like the picture. It also is four hours and not seven.

Truly amazing

Lisa_K, May 2021
This is the first time I wrote a review on viator but this tour is absolutely amazing and surpass my expectations. Elgar, Luis and Nelson took such great care of me and my daughter. We had such great time and will recommend this tour to anyone who is up for an unforgettable experience and adventure

Highlight of our visit

Amazing, Fantastic and exceeded all expectations!!!!! This was truly an adventure my whole family enjoyed. From sliding down natural waterfall slides, rappelling into the bottom of a waterfall, swimming behind waterfalls and jumping into them etc......This was a tour of a lifetime we will never forget.
