We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Viktor, in the rainforest of Puerto Rico! From start to finish, everything was well organized, safe, and so much fun. Viktor took us to several incredible water spots—natural pools, waterfalls, and hidden areas we never would have found on our own.
What really stood out was how knowledgeable, patient, and friendly he was. He shared interesting facts about the rainforest, made sure everyone felt comfortable, and kept the energy positive the entire time. You can tell he truly cares about giving people a great experience.
The water activities were the highlight—beautiful, refreshing, and the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. From sliding down rocks to swimming in crystal-clear pools, every moment felt special.
What meant the most to me personally was Viktor going out of his way to return a camera I accidentally left in the pocket of a life vest. That level of honesty and kindness really says a lot about his character and made the experience even more memorable.
I highly recommend booking with Viktor if you’re visiting Puerto Rico. This was easily one of the best parts of our trip, and we would absolutely do it again!

Such a fun experience. We had Pancho and Stephen as guides and they were awesome and laid back but super helpful. Definitely worth the investment for the tour guide. The slides and the rope swing and cliffs were sweet and the rain forest is absolutely beautiful.
Quinn_K, May 2026
So fun, so beautiful, so supportive, and got to see so many cool spots due to the knowledge of the tour guide. Without the tour guide, we wouldn’t have been able to navigate the rainforest alone. This was a highlight of our trip!

Evelyn_A, May 2026
Such a fun trail to hike! We had an amazing time and it was definitely beginner-friendly. Our tour guide, Ashley, was the best. She was very helpful, made us feel safe the entire time, and answered all of our questions with great information and facts about the rainforest.
If you’re planning to hike El Yunque National Forest, I highly recommend going as early as possible. We did the 8:30 AM hike and there were not many people there, which made the experience even better. Ashley also took the best pictures and videos for us. Thank you, Ashley, for making our trip so memorable

Luis_A, Apr 2026
I hate to be that guy i never leave reviews but the experience with this app/website has just been awful. Horrible customer service and when you try to get in touch with anyone nobody answers. I received the wrong address and when I called there was nothing they could do about it. So I rebooked again and lost my money no big deal. I get to the meet up place for my second reservation and get told that it was canceled due to rain after already driving 2 and a half hours over here. And now customer service can’t do anything about this too. My advice is book somewhere else these people are jokes.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hola Luis!We’re really sorry you went through this—that’s an incredibly frustrating experience, especially after driving that far. We completely understand why you’d feel upset.
What you described sounds like an issue with the booking platform/app rather than the actual tour operation. Unfortunately, we don’t control their customer service, system updates, or how/when they notify guests about changes like weather cancellations. That said, we never want anyone to feel stuck or unsupported. Rain in El Yunque National Forest can force last-minute cancellations for safety reasons, but you absolutely should have been properly notified ahead of time.
America_S, Apr 2026
El yunke was very beautiful! Would love to come back again for a full tour/hike of it. Our guides Janay & Anthony were amazing! Very knowledgeable about the nature and its history. They were also patient and clear with the instructions while making it all fun. Beautiful place, culture, and experience!
Response from Host, May 2026
El Yunque really is a beautiful place, and we’re so glad you got to experience it with such a great team. We’d absolutely love to have you back for a longer adventure next time! Thank you for choosing our #1 rated El Yunque Rainforest tour
Danielle_D, Apr 2026
Super fun! Definitely recommend. Nice easy hike to the swimming hole. A bit more challenging when hiking up to water slides but totally doable. Our 2 guides, Viktor and Mitchell, were fun and easygoing. Recommend wearing a sun shirt if you’re prone to sunburn because sunscreen is not permitted in el Yunque.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hola Danielle! Viktor & Mitchell do a great job keeping things fun and relaxed while guiding everyone along the way. And great tip on the sun shirt—that’s definitely helpful for those sensitive to the sun! We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
Merelyn_G, Apr 2026
This is so much fun! I loved Anthony and Steven! They were amazing taking care of us and making sure we knew what to do. They both also took care of my son who is 9 years old with the trek and even helping him to jump in the water. 100% recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hey there!Anthony & Steven are an incredible team, and it’s awesome to hear how well they took care of you and your son—especially helping him feel confident and safe during the adventure.That kind of support and attention is exactly what we aim for, so it means a lot to hear this. We truly appreciate the 100% recommendation and hope to see you both again soon!
William_R, Apr 2026
Tour was amazing if your looking to do the fun stuff with minimal hiking. There was a lot of rock climbing so def wear good shoes. Sandals are not it! We toured with Anthony and Joel who were amazing. They made sure we were safe and encouraged us to do all the adventures!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hey William! Love this review—thank you!
You described it perfectly: more adventure and rock scrambling than hiking, and good shoes are a must.
Big shoutout to Anthony and Joel—they’re an awesome team and always make sure everyone feels safe while still pushing you to enjoy all the fun parts.
Mary_E, Apr 2026
Anthony & Joel were amazing guides! I was with a group of 8 and they made sure to keep us together so our pics showed us all in them. This was my favorite experience from my entire trip and would highly recommend 10/10!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hey Mary! Anthony & Joel are an awesome duo, and we’re so glad they kept your whole group together so you could capture those memories all in one shot
Even better that it was your favorite experience of the entire trip—that means everything to us!
Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see you and your crew back again soon for another adventure.
Mariah_M, Apr 2026
This trip was amazing. Anthony not only made sure we had fun but that we were safe and that we learned about the amazing culture in Puerto Rico. This was an absolute 5 star from beginning to end. Meet up was simple, check in was great, short drive to the meeting point, and the hike was definitely doable, I had my 6 year old and 9 year old with us. My mom was also with us and she do half of the hike and was able to relax in the water while we continued up to the slide. Anthony was patient, informative, and a blast to be around.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hola Mariah! So glad you had an amazing time—this is exactly the kind of experience we aim to create for every guest. Anthony is truly one of the best, and we love hearing how he balanced fun, safety, and sharing Puerto Rico’s culture throughout the day. It’s awesome that your whole family—from your kids to your mom—was able to enjoy the adventure at their own pace. That’s exactly how the tour is designed, with options for everyone whether you want to relax by the water or continue up to the slides.
Jennifer_M, Apr 2026
Amazing Experience. Our guides were great and encouraging. Wish it was a whole day adventure instead of a half day.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hey Jennifer!! We’re glad you had an amazing time and felt supported by the guides—that means a lot!
We hear you on wanting a full-day adventure. We’ll definitely take that into consideration. Hope to have you back for another round soon!
Andrew_T, Apr 2026
This is an incredible adventure through the Puerto Rican rainforest. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and are very conscious of everyone’s safety. When they say you will get muddy, believe them! We all wore water shoes. Definitely recommend doing this tour. It’s like getting taken to the local spot with locals. We had a 7 & 9 year old with us and they did just fine.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hey Andrew! We’re so glad to hear the guides made you feel safe and shared their knowledge along the way—that’s always a top priority for us. It’s also great to know your kids had a fantastic time too!
That “local spot with locals” vibe is exactly what we aim for, so it means a lot that you felt that. Thanks again for the recommendation—we’d love to have you all back for another adventure anytime!
Scott_S, Apr 2026
Great experience. Very organized. Anthony did a great job of communicating and keeping everyone safe while still keeping things light and fun. My kids would have gone and done it again the very next day. We went on a Saturday and it was pretty busy and it was still great. The guides said that midweek is less busy typically.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hola Scott! Anthony will be happy to know his communication and focus on safety helped make the day both fun and smooth for everyone. Love that your kids were ready to go again the next day—that’s the best compliment! And yes, midweek usually gives a bit more space, but we’re glad you still had an awesome time. We appreciate you and hope to have you all back again on our top rated El Yunque Rainforest tour!
Grace_J, Apr 2026
Absolutely the best part of our trip!!! Amazing guides that made us feel so safe and taken care of throughout the tour. They also take all the pictures and videos for you! You really don’t need to bring more than a water bottle and sunglasses. Would recommend water shoes with a sole, your shoes will get wet and muddy! Also recommend wearing sunscreen or coverage, most of the tour we were in the sun and I’m glad I wore long sleeves. The hike is not too labor intensive but it does have places where you need to be a little flexible (the guides will help you through these parts). Overall incredible experience!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hola Grace! We love hearing that this was the best part of your trip—that’s exactly the experience we aim to create! It’s great to know you felt safe and well taken care of throughout the tour, and that you could just enjoy the moment while we captured the photos and videos for you. Also really appreciate you sharing those tips—water shoes with good grip, sun protection, and packing light are all super helpful for future guests!
Glen_H, Apr 2026
Great day out, good value, very clean, not too busy. You need to be reasonably fit. You are going on short but challenging track through muddy and steep terrain.
You need decent footwear that can get completely wet and muddy.
Anthony & John were great guides!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hola Glen! We’re glad you had a great day and enjoyed a less crowded experience! You described it perfectly—it’s a short but adventurous trail, and having the right footwear definitely makes all the difference. Anthony and John will be happy to hear your kind words—they always make sure the experience is fun, safe, and well guided from start to finish. We appreciate you and hope to have you back again on our #1 rated El Yunque Rainforest tour!
Galina_M, Apr 2026
This was an amazing tour. Our guide Jesus "best guide on the mountain", he's was very knowledgeable, fun, and helpful. Things you'll want to have are a vehicle with some ground clearance and nice water shoes. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Jesus will love the shoutout—“best guide on the mountain” says it all! He always makes sure everyone is having fun while staying safe.
We appreciate the helpful tips too—definitely useful for future guests! Thanks again for the recommendation and hope to see you soon!
Yashira_R, Apr 2026
We had an absolute great time! It was so nice to be able to meet our tour guide in our own vehicles vs. having to drive to San Juan and get on a shuttle bus. We had an incredible experience 10/10 recommend!!! Our tour guide Freddy was fantastic.

Hola Yashira! He always brings great energy to the experience! We’re also happy the meet-up option worked out smoothly for you. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back soon!

Alexander_K, Apr 2026
Our first time visiting PR and the rainforest, so didn't know what to expect. My 11 and 9 year old kids couldn't stop saying how much they loved the climbing because it was "parkour" style. We were a lucky group to have 2 excellent guides who were able to help people physically in certain portions (unlike other groups who would get separated or needed help from our guides because theirs went too far ahead). Anthony & Steven were entertaining, informative, and FUN. Scary climbs or slides, they made everyone feel safe and confident trying something new.

Family tour with a 5 and 8 year old and they had a blast. The tour guides were so good with the kids and a big help on some steep rocks not to mention did a great job making everyone feel comfortable and be safe with great cultural facts. Recommend this as we had the best time and my kids favourite day in Puerto Rico. The 4 hr hike is just right for learning, fun and a great adventure. Watershoes recommended.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hola Cristina! We love hearing that your kids had such a great time—that’s the best compliment!

We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to have you all back again on our #1 rated El Yunque Rainforest tour!
