Would recommend to anyone who doesn't want to hike too much!
Gonzalez was a great tour guide, and since it was rainy, we had the falls all to ourselves. Definitely would use this company again.

A very simple but pretty hike with lunch.
Andrea the guide was knowledgeable and kept us entertained with Island History.
Skilled Hikers will feel empty..novice ones will enjoy 😉.

Great experience in the Puerto Rican countryside! Our guide Gonzo was informative and funny. The food stop was delicious. The waterfalls and scenery were beautiful. Our total tour group was 6 people so it was nice and small.

Our guide Gonzales was wonderful. Gave lots of history as we drove to the first waterfall. The short hike to the waterfall was easy but muddy due to some earlier rain. Plenty of time to explore the beautiful area and then on to the next waterfalls. When we got to there, it was raining and Gonzales suggested we wait just about 10 mins to see if it would clear, and sure enough, it did. Beautiful sunny skies for these falls, and boy were they GORGEOUS! The rocks were very slippery, but most of our group made it down into the water. Popsicles at the top of the falls were a wonderful treat, as was the delicious lunch. This was a great tour for anyone who doesn’t want to do a ton of hiking.

Hector was amazing. Great company, wonderful surroundings, perfect weather, we did not want it to end. This tour is perfect for those who don't want to hike 30+ minutes. It's not strenuous at all. PR is beautiful 😍

Super fun time with friends. Was looking for some place unique that was NOT el Yunque and this was perfect! Alicia & Zac were great tour guides with so much knowledge. They were also super fun to hang with! The food we had for lunch was also super yummy. My favorite part of this tour is supporting local businesses and finding local hidden gems. Deff recommend!
Tatiana_A, Jan 2024
This tour was absolutely fantastic, it takes you through the countryside mountains with tales known among the locals throughout the drive. You’re taken to two waterfalls, both are beautiful, and then you can get lunch at a local spot with delicious food. 100% worth the experience!!

Alicia was an amazing, charismatic and knowledgeable tour guide. She adapted the tour to the participants. For example, some of us wanted Puerto Rican coffee, and she made that happen by stopping at a local bakery. We spent the day in a city called San Lorenzo which is definitely in the country. We visited two waterfalls and a local restaurant (in addition to the bakery). It was a really fun day.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Hi Susan! Thanks so much for the perk! It felt good to be back leading tours! I still have the come as strangers leave as friends mojo!!
Hoping to hosting you and your students in PR soon!

Great experience.Small hike to waterfall .Tour guide Gonzo was amazing .Great views of the countryside.
Amanda_B, Aug 2023
Wonder tour, great way to spend a hot day! We loved swimming in the first waterfall pond. Gonzo our guide was lovely - super funny and informative, and one heck of a driver. Only criticism is that they only had adult sized lifejackets, and lunch wasn't that great (ordered ahead of time and received pretty cold/bland plates). All in all a great day.
Angela_P, Aug 2023
Gonzalez was an excellent tour guide. Our drive to the forest was full of interesting info and sightseeing. We then went to a remote spring where we swam and explored. We then went to a river waterfall . It was beautiful. We ate a lunch of real homemade Puerto Rican cuisine. Thank you Gonzalez for a beautiful day❤️

The trip to the falls through the countryside was a wonderful way to see the island and its beautiful mountains and waterfalls. The walks to the falls were easy and we had plenty of time to swim and relax at both locations. Our guide Gonzo was fantastic and shared his knowledge of PR and its history during the trip which made it an even more enjoyable experience.

Hector was a great tour guide! Tried to send photos but got cut off! Waterfall adventure is NOT to miss.. and Hector has walking sticks if you feel a little unsure of your footing! Had a total hip replacement 12 weeks ago and I did GREAT!

The Tour was amazing! We went with Héctorcito, who was a lot of fun but had a very nice relaxed vibe. This is the perfect Tour to see some hidden gems in the Rainforrest, aswell as to learn about the life of authentic Puerto Rican's. Héctor showed us two mind-blowingly beautiful waterfalls, where we could swim and hang out. We were the only people at both places. After that he took us to get some food at a beautifully picturesque, local place. We also learned a lot about the place in isla verde, where we were staying but the best part was honestly learning about Héctors Story and to see the stunning Landscape of the "Mountains". You get so much for such a little price, if you've been to Puerto Rico without this tour- you're missing out!

Gonzo was an awesome tour guide. I was skeptic about this trip at first, but after doing it, I realized it was probably the most bang-for-buck fun I got out of my entire vacation. I strongly, strongly, recommend that you do this if you have time. It's an excellent experience to see the countryside, as well as try actual, local countryside food.
John_J, Nov 2022
Gonzo our guide was great ! He gave an exceptional experience to my family and delivered and education of the history of the island. Our ventures took us to great spots in the inland area of the island. The waterfall hike was safe. He introduced us to locals in the community. We had lunch at a great roadside restaurant ( chicken pork with rice, amazing !) . It will be a great experience for any family to get a personal and local connection to the island.
Jason_R, Jun 2022
What a great trip! Our guide, Gonzo, was knowledgable and very personable. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and knowledge. The waterfall was great! There were only a few others there when we visited and we had the waterfall all to ourselves. The next stop was also beautiful and included delicious coconut, strawberry and mango homemade popsicles. And finally we had a wonderful lunch at a roadside stop.
Bria_S, Jun 2022
We had an amazing time on this tour. Gonzo was great! He is friendly, knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. The waterfall is so beautiful. I really enjoyed seeing all the sites on the way up to the hidden waterfall. The restaurant you stop at for lunch is delicious and 100% authentic Puerto Rican food. I am so happy we booked this experience!
Alexa_A, Jun 2022
My friend and I had a great time. González was a fantastic guide. He gave us some history and facts about Puerto Rico on the drive out which made it go by quick. Very short walk to the waterfall which we swam in and took a ton of pictures. The lunch was probably the best meal I had my entire trip. Highly recommend!
J_R, Jun 2022
Gonzalez was our tour guide and he was amazing. He was extremely informative about the history of Puerto Rico and the environment. He drive us up the mountains to the waterfall which was absolutely beautiful. We swam there for quite some time before heading off to another waterfall and admired the scenery there as well. He treated us to fruity popsicles made by the locals which was very tasty. He then took us to grab some authentic Puerto Rican food at a local restaurant. The food was so amazing. I loved this excursion. 10/10

Tony was an awesome tour guide. He took us to several sites around the island. He knows his history and loves his job. I would definitely recommend him to friends that are traveling to Puerto Rico soon.

This was our first time visiting Puerto Rico, so we decided to try a few excursions one of them being the hidden gem tour. Our tour guy Tony picked us up at our hotel. Our first thought of Tony was wow what a genuinely nice guy. During our hour ride up to the waterfall Tony gave us a little background on the history of Puerto Rico. Once we arrived to the waterfall Tony was so patience with us. The four of us had never done anything like this before, we fell a few times but he was so encouraging. Once we left the waterfall he took us to this mom and pop authentic Puerto Rican food, it was so delicious. We had so much fun! I would encourage anyone who wants a view of real Puerto Rican living and a genuinely nice tour guy please book this excursion!! Thank you so much Tony!!

The waterfall was amazing, we had the time of our lives! Lunch was also lovely, and we learned so much from our guide!
Niara_W, Jul 2021
Hector was an excellent tour guide. He really went over the top giving our group little informational tid bits about the location of waterfall & the surrounding areas, and people. He really made it worth while, and very enjoyable. He took real good care of his group. Thank you Hector!!!!
Joseph_R, Jun 2021
This was my favorite part of the trip. Hector was knowledgeable friendly and accommodating. Funny to
TIFFANY_D, Jun 2021
Tony was very cool, funny and informative. We really enjoyed him as our guide. Unfortunately we experienced heavy rains directly over the hike area and waterfall, so our group was unable to experience seeing the waterfall. I did enjoy the drive up into the mountains and all of Tony's commentary.

I went on the tour with hector on 5/27 the bus arrives early and on time.. I wish I had breakfast but that was made up when we stopped country side a small restaurant for lunch. The walk was quick.. a few bumps and steep hills but worth it once you get to the waterfall! My daughter who is 11 enjoyed jumping into the water from the cliff! She loved the experience just as much as I did.
