This is an amazing adventure!!! Just one thing to remind, your clothes might get dirty and your shoes may get a bit wet. Kinda of posting yourself at risk but a safe and unforgettable experience with the great tour guide Angel Diaz!!! Will definitely recommended!!!

Best time of my life (no exaggeration)

Farrajah_T, Feb 2025
LOVE LOVE LOVED IT! This tour made my birthday trip. This was the most fun thing that I have ever done in my life. The views were unmatched and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The views were like out of a movie, you just need to see it for yourself, it was worth every penny. I will definitely be doing this again when I come back!

Fantastic.

Fantastic tour. The caves are gorgeous and we couldn’t ask for a better sunny day too. Our guide Angel was incredible. We felt comfortable, safe and had fun from start to finish. Keep in mind you are going down the caves and want to be confident in every step. We were impressed by how smoothly Angel handled every part of the trip and made it an experience to remember. A must do tour.

Not limited to 10 people. More like 25.

The trip was nice but overbooked. There were 24 people and 2 drivers. Angel, tour operator, filled two 12 passenger vans to capacity on a trip that was supposed to be limited to 10. Not cool! This led to a lot of standing around and waiting. In addition, we had to pose as a group over and over so he could take pics with his drone.

We went with Angel and...

We went with Angel and the guy was super nice and knowledgeable. We make multiple stops on the way there, took a lot of pictures, had great hike. Angel was super helpful during the difficult part, so no worries at all / just trust him and you’ll be all good.

Great experience with great tour guide

Carlos_S, Dec 2024
Got to explore a part of Puerto Rico that I never had before. Angel was a charismatic and knowledgeable tour guide that made the whole experience memorable. A bit more physical exertion than I expected, especially to get in to the caves, but would recommend to anyone looking to do something fun and learn something new.

Just WOW.

Angel is a great guide. If you love adventure and are in good to great shape (or you used to be recently), you will LOVE it! I recommend wearing well broken-in running shoes you don't mind getting wet and dirty, or even better, climbing shoes. You'll be squeezing into some pretty tight spaces, so not as fantastic for larger people, but still awesome because you can just sit some portions out. You'll be glad you brought a good quality ziploc freezer bag for your phone and anything else you don't want to get wet. If you need to bring a backpack, it's best to keep it slim and relatively light so you can still maneuver freely. You pay your own way for lunch, but the portions are large, delicious, and reasonably priced. Travel to and from is in a very nice high-end SUV. The meeting spot is just after the bridge, on the left. Look for a banner about thigh-high that says "Playita del Condado." Customer service was excellent. Just GREAT!!!

Best experience

Angel our tour guide made this the best experience! The amount of personalized details on this tour was amazing. Thank you Angel for making our trip to Puerto Rico Amazing!!!

Best time of my LIFE!!

Sara_G, Jul 2024
From the moment we got into the car, I knew it was going to be a fantastic trip. Angel was personable, fun, knowledgeable during the entire trip. He took us to so many cool places along the way to the cave and that alone was an experience. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time even crawling down the cave. Don’t think twice and book this tour. You won’t regret it!

Definitely recommend

Himani_P, Jul 2024
Angel was amazing! This was such an incredible trip and loved seeing all he had to show us! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to see parts of Puerto Rico you would not expect to see.

Just Call Me Angel…😇

Janie_B, Jun 2024
Angel was an incredible tour guide. So caring and concerned for everyone’s safety and well-being (make sure you eat before you go, right Angel?) So much fun to go to a part of the island I hadn’t seen before. Especially with someone so knowledgeable to provide context. This IS an active tour! Believe what you hear 😅. I am here celebrating my 50th without the greatest grip and less than tasty knees and parts were a challenge. 💯 doable but a challenge. I’m feeling it today 😆. But would do it all over again for the incredible views and learning experience about the Taino. Thank you Angel, for your care and concern for your island and its people - even the shirtless dude freaking us out on the rocks. 😉

Best experience ever

Edwin_V, Jun 2024
Best experience ever. Angel was enjoyable, conversational, educational and really passionate about educating us on the caves, the eco system and really getting our teens engaged. His experience really shined through.

Awesome Indian Cave experience

Catherine_R, Jun 2024
What an experience. Joyful and informative. Our guide has so many nuggets of information. Though moving into and out of the Indian cave needed muscle and patience he was there to guide us safely .

Really worth it!

Xiaoxi_Y, May 2024
I typically would not bother writing a review, as most of the tours I booked (as long as enough people have given a rating above 4) are reasonable. This one I would recommend because the guide, Angel, can take you to some places you really cannot reach yourself (without breaking a leg or arm). He's strong and you can count on him for your safety. He also has a drone that can take good photos. The only thing I would remind people is that - you should treat it as a serious outdoor activity - you need to have the hiking shoes, pants (the kinds that should be easy to wash afterwards) and even gloves to prevent you from cuts. A small crossbody or belt bag that can carry water and cell phone would be good too. A backpack, if large, might not go through/have some difficulties with the cracks/caves.

One of the BEST excursions of Puerto Rico

Norma_G, May 2024
This excursion is awesome. Angel the guide was the BEST. He made the day!!!! From the beginning to the end it was an unbelievable experience. We saw parts of Puerto Rico off the beaten path, the cave tour was incredible, lunch was authentic. Be prepared hydrated, sun block, and good soles shoes.

Experience a Real Angel!!!

Ken_J, May 2024
The tour was great and Angel is amazing. He really worked to make this a special experience for everyone. This is a somewhat challenging tour; you will do some rock climbing in tight cave spaces. Angel got everyone through it safely and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. Angel took photos of our group with a drone and sent them to us shortly after the trip. My wife left her glasses in the van and we didn’t realize it until about an hour after the trip. I texted Angel and he drove them to us from Carolina to Condado! Super nice guy! You will have a great time and see some beautiful sites.

Trip of a lifetime

Daisy_T, May 2024
Half our group wanted to do a rainforest excursion instead and we are all soooooo glad we did this instead. This trip was incredible, definitely the highlight of our 6 days here. Angel our tour guide was beyond amazing. The ride to the caves was filled with so much good conversation, he really took time to pullover and show us cool spots along the way and teach us about PR. The hike itself is better than the photos if you can believe it. The “hard” part is climbing into the cave but Angel will tell you everything to do and will be right there to help you every step of the way so don’t be worried! The restaurant he took us too was so good. Genuine Puerto Rico food a tourist wouldn’t find on their own. So cheap too! $27 for two people and we got so much food we had it for dinner too. Thought this would be just a hike but ended up feeling more connected to PR and with incredible photos

A must do tour

Sam_F, Apr 2024
My son and I were lucky enough to have Angel to ourselves for our cave tour! What a great experience! From the word "Go" he made us feel welcomed, gave us some great history of the island and educated the whole day without patronizing us. During the tour he also helped another family just because he saw they needed a helping hand. And we finished our day at a family run restaurant with great local food! We couldn't have planned the day any better. A definite must do tour with Angel and The Tourism Family!

The best tour you will do in Puerto Rico!

Brooke_M, Apr 2024
We had an amazing day with Angel! Not only did he safely guide us through the cave, but he went above and beyond sharing fun facts and taking incredible drone photos of us along the way. He also stopped at a few locations on the way to the cave to show us Puerto Rican history, foliage and wildlife. After the cave, he took us to a great local spot for lunch. 100% recommend this tour. It’s owned by Angel and his wife, and they are the only two employees, so you contribute directly to a Puerto Rican family.

Amazing Indian Cave trip

Ganapathy_S, Mar 2024
Indian Cave experience was a once in lifetime experience and was solely possible because of our tour guide Angel Diaz. Entering the cave through a mini hole in the rock and getting down would not have been possible but for the efforts of Angel. He made it memorable and encouraged everyone of us that it was possible. He is very lively, interacting and a wonderful person. Woul surely recommend this trip to everyone who want to enjoy nature and want a little thrill in life.

Fantastic Once In A Lifetime Experience

Andrea_S, Mar 2024
This is what traveling is all about! The tour guide, Angel, was extremely informative, friendly, and full of enthusiasm. This tour was the highlight of our trip in Puerto Rico. We also had a great group of people! If you want to learn about Puerto Rico’s history, talk about its current affairs, explore its beauty, get a moderate workout, and end on a great authentic meal, this is the tour for you! Highly recommend taking this tour!

More than a Cave tour!

Adriana_H, Mar 2024
Holy moly, what an experience! Angel was the coolest tour guide. Patiently getting us through all tough areas. I read a ton of reviews about the tour and was a little nervous about the physical requirements. Yes, you have to go through a little opening to get to the cave below, some people in our group (including two of my family members) are able to stay up top and enjoy the beauty as the others go in to the caves below. I’d say most people are able to get through this part, with Angels help, but if you can’t push your body weight off one foot, you won’t be able to go down into the below part of the caves however, the rest of the tour is doable for all ages. When you’re guided to the top of the caves, the views are remarkable, it was high tide when we went sit we got to see large waves crash on the rocks! It was amazing. Prior to the caves, Angel drives and talks you through some of the Puerto Rican history, that was awesome as well! Highly recommend this tour!

Worth it!

MelissaTello_G, Mar 2024
Angel shared his wealth of knowledge about Puerto Rico throughout our drive to our destination. He kept the energy going, was extremely descriptive when giving us directions ensuring the safety of everyone on the hike. He also took pictures of us throughout the hike that he later shared for us and took us to a local spot for lunch after our hike. The spot was delicious and also the best food we had while in Puerto Rico. Angel was the best tour guide from all of the excursions we did while in Puerto Rico. Make sure you bring closed toed shoes with good grip and don’t mind if they do get wet. You may get wet as you do walk across a beach. Personally the hike wasn’t difficult for me, but you do have to be very careful. Make sure you pack light and have your hands free to help you.

So much fun!!!

Katherine_C, Mar 2024
Angel is the BEST!!!!! Before the cave you will make multiple stops along the way. One is a beach of magnetite sand and he will bring a magnet to demonstrate. He will also stop by a huge street full of wings painting (I’ve put them up in a collage in a pic). You’ll also see a giant Christopher Columbus statue (tallest statue in the western hemisphere). I am from NY and not the fittest person. I hike but that’s to the extent of exercise/sports/gym that I do. He will walk you through the cave every step of the way. There were about 10 people in our group and he was very patient with everyone. I’m also afraid of heights but even that I was able to make it! We had so much fun and at the end of the day you will feel so accomplished. You definitely need good solid closed shoes for this and it may get wet so you may want to bring slippers to change before lunch. Overall I highly recommend it! Instagram worthy for sure.

Fun and terrifying

Amanda_A, Feb 2024
It was a great tour,the tour guide was nice and great with kids.. until the last place for a picture when an unexpected wave came up and almost washed my family into the ocean, we spent 5+ hours in the ER, and never got seen. With head injuries wouldn't recommend hospitals over there. We then had to cancel all other tours for the week as we were all trying to heal our wounds the entire week of vacation.

If you’re not booking with a group, don’t do it.

Torrye_K, Feb 2024
Came all the way from Atlanta for a bday celebration only for them to cancel the tour the night before.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

This tour was canceled because as stated on your reservation, it required a MINIMUM OF PASSENGERS to operate, and you were the only ones. we contacted you at 9 AM letting you know that it was in risk of cancellation A FULL DAY BEFORE. We gave you options to alternate days and you refused, and said that it was OK that you understood, we told you how sorry we were because we wanted you to go, we even waited longer past the window of opportunity... you asked for a PRIVATE tour but not wanted to PAY for it and asked for discount, you even said that you were going to save our information for the future and you turn around and leave a bad review for a tour you did not take. You can tell a lot about a person who wants to do harm when they don’t get their way...if you want a "birthday celebration" bring MONEY to cover your expenses ...may God bless you!

Book it!!!!

Kathleen_O, Jan 2024
My husband and I had an absolute BLAST with Angel!! He is such a great guide and did a great job guiding us into the cave which I thought would’ve been impossible. Please note that you do have to hike through some pretty rocky surfaces so if balance/fitness is an issue or if you have a debilitating fear of heights, this may not be the tour for you. Otherwise, it’s so much fun!!!

A must do!

Thomas_F, Jan 2024
Angel goes above and beyond. He had us laughing as soon as we hit the van. He even bring his personal drone to make an album for the day. Outstanding photos. A must do when you’re here.

10/10!!!

Cameron_M, Jan 2024
10/10!!! Angel was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! The views are incredible. Not too bad of a hike just have to be careful and pay attention but angel goes over everything with you and helps you the entire time. He made stops on the way there to see the angel wing paintings and take pictures and made a few stops to tell us about the history which we really enjoyed. The cave is such a cool experience. He shows you the exact spots from pirates of the Caribbean and always lets you take a photo op. He brings his drone and get really good pictures of you. The place we went for lunch was delicious!!! He spent the time to explain all of the options and then ordered for us since we didn’t speak Spanish which is greatly appreciated. I can’t recommend this tour enough and I would take any tour angel was leading.
