Amazing rainforest adventure with our guide Enrique. He was super knowledgeable about the rainforest from the soil we walked on to the animals that inhabit it all while making sure the entire group was safe. 100/10 experience from the natural waterside and cliff jumping to eating at the luquillo kiosks; A must see experience for anyone traveling to PR and our guide Enrique made it so much better.

Our guides Enrique and John were the absolute best guides I’ve had. I felt totally safe in their guidance, especially over challenging terrain. We learned so much about the rainforest and the ecosystem of Puerto Rico. I doubt I would have tried some of the more challenging parts of the tour and water attractions if they weren’t there to guide us. Best experience yet!

Enrique and Dani are the absolute best tour guides to ever exist! I have never felt so satisfied with a tour in my life! They are so nice and welcoming! Not to mention, they are SO funny!! They made this experience incredible and honestly will miss them! They have open communication with you upon their arrival and warn you about the stuff you will see. Come prepared is all you need for this tour! Thank you Enrique and Dani for having our backs! I hope to meet again :)))

Great El Yunque Escape

Danny_S, Sep 2026
Great half day trip. They picked me up from my airbnb. Enrique is a very good guide. Knowledgeable and funny. Made the trip safe and fun. I would highly recommend Enrique and the tour. You get to enjoy a private side of el yunque that you won't get to see from the public visitor side.

Nice experience!

Kagan_S, Sep 2026
Ricky is an amazing guide, and is his knowledge of the El Yunque was educational and allowed us to appreciate the beauty. The waterslide was an amazing highlight!

Definitely a must do for your trip!

Omaris_T, Sep 2026
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Enrique. He took great care of the group and always made sure to check up on everyone. He gave really clear instructions and helped through every step of the way. The hike through the rainforest was really informative and fun. We got there before the crowd of other groups got there and it was so peaceful. Definitely recommend going the earliest time available. This is a must do on trip!

El Yunque hiking & water fun

You won’t regret it, book this one, ask for Jean 💙

Shollie_H, Aug 2026
Jean made our experience truly amazing. We were so glad we booked with a small group, instead of a larger one. The hike was not too bad but wear non slip shoes for sure! The water slides were fun but the hiking and chatting with our guide and others on the tour was the best part. And Jean took soo many good pictures I was really thankful for that. You can truly tell the passion and care that Jean has for the rainforest, and for safety, and his culinary skill are on point 😉😍 thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

Book It

Robin_K, Aug 2026
This was our first excusrion in Puerto Rico after only a few hours of sleep. Enrique and Jon were fantastic tour guides! Enrique communicated with us before the trip and answered our questions. Just leave your stuff behind theres no cell service anyway. They took amazing pictures and videos of us all and sent to us at the end. Very knowledgeable about the area. Everyone is given a life vest so you do not need to be a strong swimmer just make sure to listen to directions from the guides. We stopped for lunch at the kiosks and loved our recommendation from Enrique. 1000/10 would do again.

FUN but STRENUOUS! You need to be in decent shape and able to climb steep places.

Melisa_R, Aug 2026
Great experience with our 16 y/o daughter! So glad we didn’t miss it. The hike is NOT FOR BEGINNERS! It was strenuous but so worth it! The cool water and beautiful views was worth the hike! Definitely a do again!!

Lisette_G, Jul 2026
This was so much fun but be prepared to climb! You're going over rocks, boulders, trees! Challenging but so worth it.

An experience not to be missed!

Beverly_P, Jul 2026
Enrica our guide was the best! He is wonderful with kids and great with those who need extra help. He loves his job and it shows! It was by far a vacation highlight! Don’t miss the experience!

Immaculate Vibes

Kandis_R, Jul 2026
Our tour guide was fantastic. The vibes were immaculate. He picked us up right on time and we had a fabulous adventure

Fun!

Verna_I, Jul 2026
Great experience! Guide had a great personality and was very knowledgeable. Absolutely loved the smaller group, earlier meetup time, and meeting up at one location. I am one that does not like multiple hotel pickups due to timeframe. This ensured that we were at the attractions in the rainforest before it was too populated. It is slightly more than other companies but definitely worth every penny, I would have paid more for the experience tbh. I didn’t realize when I booked, but this is a very popular social media tour company.

Itzel_M, Jul 2026
Enrique was amazing! He was very friendly and was so easy and trustworthy to talk to, a very genuine person. Everything went by so smoothly I’m glad we got to experience everything! The water level rose by 9am and by that time we finished everything. It was worth waking up early for!

It was such an incredible experience! Loved the small group and our tour guide adriana did such an amazing job!Highly re

Annelise_W, Jul 2026
Great tour! much better with the small group and we were able to get more out of the experience! Loved going to the beach after too!

Guided Tour with Adri

Sylvia_C, Jun 2026
Adri was our tour guide and she was very informative and amazing! Great experience. Would do this adventure again. Having a small group was also a plus!

Highlight of Our Puerto Rico Trip!

Abby_M, Jun 2026
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highlight of Our Puerto Rico Trip! This El Yunque Rainforest adventure tour was hands down the highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico! From start to finish, Adriana was an amazing guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely excited to share the beauty, history, culture, and natural treasures of the island. One of my favorite parts was learning about the rainforest itself. Adriana took time to point out different plants, flowers, and vegetation while sharing fascinating information about them. It brought back memories of stories my father told about growing up around this flora, so seeing it in person made the experience even more meaningful. The adventure portion was incredible as well. By the time we reached the water activities, I felt completely comfortable and safe. The natural rock water slide and rope swing were so much fun! My 15-year-old son loved it too and even went back for a second rope swing. Getting a “that was really cool” from a teenager is high praise, and this tour definitely earned it. If you're looking for an active, fun, and authentic way to experience El Yunque and Puerto Rico's natural beauty, I highly recommend this tour. It was an unforgettable experience and one of the best excursions we've ever taken.

Unforgettable tour

Kaila_S, Jun 2026
Our tour guide Enrique was just amazing. We left the Yunque rainforest without words. It was an unforgettable experience with such good company. The culture of the place was well explained and the experiences were very fun and the hike was great. The fruit at the end just topped off our experience and we appreciate Enrique’s work! ❤️

Great experience! Our guide gives amazing energy all the time! The water activities are wonderful even for people with no swimming experience. The guide will provide detailed instructions. The rocks can be slippery, just be careful while climbing.

Taylor_M, May 2026
My best friend and I completed the tour for the first time, and our tour guide, Adriana, was amazing! She was very passionate and knowledgeable about the forest which made our experience so smooth and enjoyable. The hike was challenging at times but so fun! Adriana gave us the best experience, and we can’t wait to come back and visit again!

Beautiful Fun Adventure

Molly_F, May 2026
Tour was a perfect mix of adventure and fun. Our tour guide, Enrique, was knowledgeable about the rain forest plant life and made the tour fun for our family of four. Would not recommend for small children, but perfect for us with college age kids. We got lucky and trail was not very muddy. Water felt refreshing and tour was beautiful. Hike up to waterfall was just difficult enough to make slide down feel like a reward. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thanks for choosing us! Glad Enrique made the hike fun and informative for your family — perfect for teens/college kids. So happy the trail and waterslide hit the mark! 🌿💦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 #Tourstodopr

Christa_O, May 2026
Jean was the best! I definitely recommend touring with him as it was a small group and much more personal. There are 2 parts to the hike. The first to home base is pretty easy but the second is much harder. Just know that even if you can’t do the second part it is still worth the trip for the beautiful views.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thanks for choosing us! Glad Jean made it personal—happy you enjoyed the views; great note that the 2nd part is harder but optional. 🌄🥾😊 #Tourstodopr

Worth the try!

Lydia_R, Apr 2026
The hike wasn’t bad as someone not athletic 🤣. Enrique was our guide and was very informative and nice! He kept the group together and checked in often. The rope swing, cliff jumping, and waterfall is completely optional. I can’t swim and everyone made me feel comfortable! A must do in PR!

Response from Host, May 2026

Yvonne_R, Mar 2026
Adriana was very nice and knowledgable. We really enjoyed the entire tour even when it started to rain as we started to hike back down it was still awesome to experience! We had a small group and I’m glad we booked it that way. The couple with us were very nice as well.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thanks for choosing us! Glad Adriana made the tour enjoyable even in the rain — happy you liked the small group. 🌧️🌿😊 #Tourstodopr

Awesome guides! Great adventure!

Debbie_S, Mar 2026
Jean and Danny were awesome! We had a great experience and lucked out and got an absolutely rain-free day. One thing we didn’t have was any water!! We didn’t bring water bottles because bottled water was listed as part of the package.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thanks for choosing us! Glad you had a rain-free, great time with Jean and Danny — sorry about the water mix-up, we’ll address that. Please DM or email us if you’d like follow-up. 💧☀️🌿 #Tourstodopr
