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!

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

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!

Tour guide well versed on items relating to the tour. I learned a lot about the life of a rain forest.
Daniel_S, May 2026
The experience was wonderful. Our guide Ingrid was very knowledgeable and friendly and provided a wealth of information about the rain forest. She made the tour engaging and the opportunity to visit El Yunque and take in the natural beauty was awesome. Would recommend to anyone considering it.

Don't wear candles or shoes. Rocks are slippery but great to climb. The entire adventure was fascinating.
Annie_J, May 2026
Our tour guide fell asleep the entire trip. He'd talk a little, fall asleep pop back up repeat the same phrase over and over. Even fell asleep at the rest stop sitting on the bench, slept all the way back to our hotel. The hike to the water in the rainforest was fine, but they take you to a "waterfall" to stop and it's a trickle of water down a boulder on the side of the road. Not even worth seeing. Sadly I wish we could get a refund. We could have done the hike ourselves to the rainforest.

Juan is a great guide. The tour started with a short hike on one of the trails that included a brief stop at a swimming area. The tour also included stops at an observation tower and a waterfall. The final stop was lunch. It was a nice excursion.
Leslie_W, May 2026
I loved this excursion. We were picked up right on time and had a nice small group. Juan was on point and showed us all the main attractions of the rainforest. He was awesome about taking pictures for us and showing us things along the way. At the end we stopped for lunch and it was amazing. We were back at our hotel by 12 so still had a whole day to go to the beach! It was the perfect way to see the rainforest!
Jacqueline_M, May 2026
No restaurant or clean facilities nearby. The tour guide took us down a trail to a swimming hole. Expected more.
Michael_F, Apr 2026
The rain forest and scenery are beautiful. The driver was skilled and safe over some very narrow and twisty roads. The tour guide didn't seem very knowledgeable and fell asleep at times during the trip.
None of our group chose to swim in a very clear watering hole. There is no place to change clothes and riding in wet bathing suit for 2 hours wouldn't have been comfortable. The van was nice and there were 8 nice people on the trip. The day was beautiful and the scenery worth the trip.
Holly_R, Apr 2026
This was an amazing tour, especially if you don't want to commit an entire day to seeing the rain forest. Juan and Pedro were just fabulous. So accommodating and fun. They made sure everyone on the tour was comfortable and enjoyed themselves.
Brieanna_S, Apr 2026
This was an excellent experience! We had a 2 year old which can be challenging. But this was the perfect experience with thanks to our amazing tour guide. Who even held our child’s hand and walked the trail with him. Which our son was so happy about. We even got to see plenty of fish and wildlife when we were swimming. We want to thank our tour guide for being patient and very helpful and knowledgeable about the rainforest forest. It was a wonderful experience for our young family.
Rachely_H, Apr 2026
It was such a good time ! It’s perfect if you want to visit but not spend too much time there. We did do a bit of walking so be prepared for that, but other than that, it was an amazing experience.
Margo_G, Apr 2026
Juan was incredible...so fun and pointed out everything to us. We had a blast! Loved the tour and lunch afterwards...wished we had Juan for our whole week tour around Puerto Rico
Treasure_W, Apr 2026
Our tour guide was very , funny, friendly and informative. Some of the tour seemed excessive but for the most parts cool. If I were to visit again I’d probably go on my own
Kristen_D, Apr 2026
This was one of the best ways to explore the national forest! Juan and Pedro were extremely knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend the day with. Started with an easy 20 minute hike to a river, and stopped at two other beautiful sites. Finished at a local spot off the road where we had some of the best food of our trip! The was a good option for a young individual and an active adult. Would 10/10 recommend, highlight of our trip!
Eileen_H, Apr 2026
Perfect for anyone looking for a less rugged, less water-centric activity. Swimming in the river is optional, so perfect for those who want to do that, but are traveling with those who can’t or don’t care too. About 30 minute stop for swim but wonderful hike to and from river, plus view the rain forest from the viewing tower and stop at roadside waterfall.
Lunch stop was included, but it is pay-your-own-way. Bring cash for the chicken kebabs hot off the grill. Delicious!
A great way to get a good taste of the rain forest for those not able or inclined to do the waterfall slide/zip line/more intense activities.
Pedro was an outstanding guide-made it do much fun and educational. Juan was a great driver, and texted us the night before to confirm pickup location.
Andrea_K, Apr 2026
Our family had such an amazing time on this day trip. Our tour guides were warm, knowledgeable and made us feel like we could ask questions and stay engaged the whole time. Our son was in heaven learning about the rainforest's ecosystem and seeing first hand how beautiful El Yunque is!
Mona_P, Apr 2026
Our guide Jose was great. Friendly and informative. I wish there was more time to stop along the trail to really observe the surroundings. The path is quite muddy in some places and rocky so I wouldn’t bring anyone with mobility issues or the elderly. Wear old shoes because they will get dirty. There is no place to change into a bathing suit once you get to the water so if you choose to swim you will be wet for the rest of the time. So that’s a personal preference. The place we stopped at for lunch was a roadside stand and the food was great but the workers were not friendly…so just know that going in. It was cheap and yummy though! All in all we had a good time. If we ever come back it might be nice to rent a car and spend the day. It was beautiful though. Don’t miss out on this magical rainforest.
Neil_B, Mar 2026
Really great tour! Juan and Pedro did a great job and really took care of us. Easy drive out to the rainforest and great stops when we were there.
leilah_H, Mar 2026
An absolutely gem of an experience. The rainforest was beautiful and the tour and company were professional.
Cindy_M, Mar 2026
Your guide is really only the driver and hike guide, although the hiking path is easy to follow alone if you wish. Still, it was helpful to be driven there as the roads are narrow and curvy. Wear a bathing suit! The river is beautiful to swim in. I recommend the tour overall.
William_R, Mar 2026
Great tour, the kids loved it and we got to see a really cool part of the rain forest. Our guide was great with kids and kept them engaged the whole time
ChaTeedra_O, Mar 2026
Juan was very considerate and a fun guide! Our group meshed really well and had an awesome time! It was really nice being able to swim in the rain forest and experience nature! And the place we stopped at for food WAS SOOO GOOD! The gift shop next door was cute too. We want to go back to do it again
Nancy_A, Mar 2026
