Luis was our very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. He shared lots of interesting information about the rainforest with us- no mosquitoes in El Yunque! Albeni our driver was also great! Highly recommend this tour- leave the driving to someone else and sit back and enjoy!

Pedro and Fernando were hospitable and good vibes. The hike to the river wasn’t too bad, and we really liked the second restaurant/bakery that we stopped by.
Isaac was a terrific guide! It was informative and fun. It is a great way to experience the rainforest for the first time. Definitely would do another tour with this company.
Juan. Operator is very irresponsible. Nobody picked us up and nobody called.
. I initiated the call only to be asked when I paid which was 2 days before then told us the guide was confused and leftand he does not have a vehicle, all different reasons. And has the gall to ask for a review when we were never picked up.
He should know two guests were missing!!!
Entertaining, but not what I paid for. Our guide was a character. He swore freely, raised his voice at the group more than once, and spent a surprising amount of the tour talking about weed and his ex-wife in Indiana. Several of his facts were just wrong (his Puerto Rican population stats for Chicago and NYC, for starters), and he showed up looking like he'd slept in his clothes. I'll admit I was entertained. But as a guided tour I paid money for, it wasn't what I was expecting or wanting. If you want a professional, informative rainforest experience, look elsewhere.
The entire tour was a wonderful experience.
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I never felt rushed as we made a variety of stops.
Our tour guide Isaac was an enthusiastic wealth of information about the biodiversity of El Yunque...stopping along the trail to identify and talk about the natural vegetation and creatures that inhabit the Rainforest. Visiting early in the morning before the maddeningly bus loads was ideal and allowed us to do the trails at a leisurely pace.
My aunt and I had a great time. Our tour guide, Issac, was very knowledgeable! It is a great quick tour to the rainforest.
Great communication, on time, great driver Juan, great tour guy Pedro “el Mostro” and safe. Tour was a great experience, we learned a lot, got to swim in the river, saw the waterfall, the towel, and dropped us off at our location. 100% recommended.
Amazing time and great value! Isaac was a wonderful guide, very knowledge and well spoken. He was able to describe in detail the plant and animal life as well as show us hidden gems. The nature walk to the river is moderate in activity level and recommend water shoes. The restaurant had a great local menu.
Very great experience would highly recommend to anyone you can go dressed comfortable swimwear if you want to get in the water very relaxing in the water and just beautiful nature of the forest
Beautiful views and waterfalls the hike was pretty amazing not hard at all a true wilderness experience
El Yunque National Forest is a must see when visiting/traveling to San Juan Puerto Rico 🇵🇷! The sheer beauty that it has to offer is indescribable. The tour guide does a great job in providing the history/habitat of the forest and all its richness! You don't want to miss out on this experience! It is just ONE of the places that make the island, Puerto Rico so special!
Traveled with my son. Isaac was incredible. Friendly, engaging and knowledgable. The driver, I think his name was Fernando, also very friendly. The small group was great. Everyone was very friendly. We had a great time and loved experiencing el Yunque in the rain. A lot of fun! Lunch was delicious.
Pedro was an amazing tour guide! We loved his sense of humor yet humbleness. Juan lol was awesome he gave us candy haha We had such a wonderful experience All of us and wanted to always remember it so we asked for a picture. This was the highlight of our trip.
Juan and Pedro were wonderful! We learned a ton about Puerto Rico. They were kind and funny. We were a small group and Juan made each step through El Yunque easy. Will definitely go again!
It is beautiful! Trail not stroller friendly but definitely can bring the kids. Juan was amazing! We stayed near by so driving to the location spot of pick up was so easy.
It was amazing.
The tour guides Juan and Pedro were terrific, very knowledgeable and knew the history of Puerto Rico.
Juan and Pedro were very thoughtful, considerate, and informative for our family of 12 during our tour. The restaurant in the park at the end of our tour offered a nice variety of menu items and they tasted great.
Our guide Lewis was amazing! He was really engaging with the kids and made them leaf hats. He was also very knowledgeable about the rainforest and even know a lot of the backstory of the few residents of the rainforest. I would highly recommend this tour. We did this as a cruise excursion and they got us back to the port with enough time to explore Old Town on foot for a few hours.
Great communication, clear instructions for what to expect. Fun time, tour guide was great! Affordable, smooth drive. A nice dip in the water, great food.
First time visitng the Yunque. We loved it.Thank you Juan for the tour. The river was amazing. The food was great.
I’ve been on a few different tours like this where they take you to see something in nature and you go on a hike and you see a waterfall and this one was by far the worst one I’ve been on. I believe it is up to the tour guide and the company to take lead and make sure the experience is great for all. Letting one group of people make the entire tour run late. The entire time is just unacceptable. They should have a policy which this company did not. My expectation of what we would see based on the pictures was very different from real life I believe there could’ve been a much better description of what we were actually going to see and how long this would take this trip ended up taking over five hours and taking out much of our day when all we did was hike for maybe five minutes. Go on the water for 30 minutes. See a waterfall that was very less than satisfying that we could see from the road and grab a lunch. We could’ve definitely did this on our own or skipped it altogether safe to say I will not be recommending this or ever doing it again.
Guides were on time, professional, and polite. El Yunque is a hidden PR gem! I would highly recommend GSK!
Our tour guide was rude and impatient. He complained about people staying back. And would yell “Come on” During lunch he threw away one of the tourists coffee. He said “ He did not want a dirty van” The lady was not going to leave the drink. He made the tour very uncomfortable. I think his name was Juan.
Amazing scenery with a very knowledgeable guide who made the trip very informative and enjoyable. Highly recommended
If youre looking for a tough trail, look elsewhere. If youre looking for an excellent 5 hour experience with a knowledgeable, funny, and personable guide... this is your tour
It was super fun and accessible ! The experience was pleasant, the stops where great and I would definitely recommend!
Juan was AMAZING! He was fun, informative and great at taking pictures! Would definitely do again and recommend.
Host Pedro is awesone! Driver Juan was double awesome! Swimming was awesome and relaxing on a warm May day!!
The rainforest hike was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking, with lush greenery, beautiful wildlife, and peaceful trails that made the entire experience unforgettable.
What truly made the tour exceptional was our guides Juan and Pedro. Pedro was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the rainforest, sharing fascinating facts and making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the journey. Their enthusiasm and expertise made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an amazing outdoor adventure!
