Adri and Daniel were awesome Tour guides, I loved them. They explained what we would be doing and guided us along the way. When I or my young daughter needed help with climbing, they were right there!
Please note: This tour is NOT for you if walking, or climbing is too much but if you can handle go experience, I loved it and it wasn't too long. This was my 2nd time in El Yunque and I loved that I was in a completely different area than when I visited my first time.

Experience was super fun! I’m a non-swimmer but I got to step outside of my comfort zone to do waterslide and rope swing for the first time. The only issue is the communication… when I booked the trip I had to try multiple times to contact the details regarding pickup. The tour guide was amazing though! But we needed to wait for 30+ minutes after lunch break to be driven back to the city. Small hiccups. But overall fun!

You will be wet for most of the day; the trek into the falls is beautiful and persons should be in decent shape; it requires a lot of rock scrambling and walking on muddy ground. Our guide Jean was friendly and helpful. He was able to give our small group much more attention. Our car had an issue going to the waterfalls and he helped get us back up and moving, which was unfortunate especially that we stated a bit late. The experience was amazing, Jean was fantastic and our small group “rocked”!

We had so much fun hiking in El Yunque with our guide Enrique. He made it fun and safe for everyone to have a good time. He shared knowledge of the local plant species and the biodiversity of the rain forest.

We had an amazing experience with this tour group! The guides were knowledgeable, accommodating, and a lot of fun, which made the whole adventure even better. Both of our kids (ages 8 and 16) had an unforgettable time.
A few helpful tips for future visitors:
-Physical ability: Be prepared for a bit of a challenge. The terrain is uneven, with rocky climbs and extra large tree roots to navigate. It will require a decent amount of flexibility and stability to scale to the top of the waterslide.
-Footwear matters: Hiking sandals worked perfectly for us. We noticed a few people losing sneakers and water shoes when they jumped in. However, we didn’t have many issues.
-Driving: If you choose to drive yourself, be aware that the roads leading to the hike area are narrow and winding.
Overall, it was a fantastic adventure for the whole family and will be a memorable moment for our family—we highly recommend it!

Our guide Carlos was fantastic! Great knowledge of the flora and fauna and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. Great must visit site… but go on earliest available time to avoid the huge mid day crowds.

We had a great time on this adventure! Jean and Enrique were great hosts and showed us all how to have a great time. Some of the climbing/trails were a little difficult, but they helped those of us who struggled. We would definitely recommend this for families with teenagers who are looking for a little adventure while on the island!

It was amazing from start to finish. Paul is very kind and knowledgeable. He was so patient with everyone in our group. Even those that were not confident in their abilities to make the whole hike. It was so nice to be in a small group. Definitely recommend and recommend Paul as your guide.
Response from Host, Jul 2024

Jean was extremely friendly and helpful in guiding us on our first trip to the El Yunque Rainforest. He made us feel comfortable and made the entire experience tons of fun! He makes you feel like you’re in great hands and keeps the conversation going to learn more about you and tell you some fun facts! My favorite part is he sends you tons of photos and videos and to me that is priceless! As a mom, it’s hard getting pictures with you in it! :) El Yunque is gorgeous too, we will be back!

This was a wonderful, exciting tour. Jean was an amazing tour guide. He made sure we were safe and that we had fun! It was a small tour of 6. He picked us up at a fruit stand/restaurant in a very clean van. He provided life jackets that looked like new. At the end of our experience, Jean cut up fresh fruits for us to enjoy in the rainforest. It was a fantastic day!!!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
