    My daughter and I had a blast! This was probably the best experience we had in Puerto Rico. Our guide, Michael, was amazing! He was funny, encouraging and passionate about his job; very knowledgeable about the rainforest. We highly recommend this tour!

    Stephanie_J, Sep 2026
    I had a great experience. Our tour guide appeared very knowledgeable and was very nice and patient during the activity. (I forget his name) only thing I would recommend is disclosing at the beginning of safety demonstration that there will be a lot of walking, jumping and climbing on slippery rocks.

    Hello! 👋😊 Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind words about our guide. 🌿💦 We’re happy to hear that his knowledge, patience, and attentiveness helped make your adventure an enjoyable one. We also sincerely appreciate your recommendation. This experience takes place in a natural and adventurous environment, so it does involve hiking, navigating rocky terrain, and activities such as jumping and climbing. While these physical aspects are included in the tour description and requirements, we completely understand the value of reinforcing them again during the safety briefing before the adventure begins. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving how we prepare our guests for the experience, while always keeping safety as one of our highest priorities. 🙌🌿 Thank you again for choosing us and for providing such constructive feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷💚 Best regards, TH Team

    I would not even leave a 1 star. We never got picked up for this tour and we are still waiting for a refund. I would be nice if we could get our money back.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Hello Jennifer, We would like to clarify what occurred on the day of your tour. Our guide arrived at the scheduled pickup location on time and made several attempts to contact you, including several text messages the day before the activity and multiple phone calls on the morning of the tour. The guide also went into the hotel lobby to look for you personally, but unfortunately was unable to locate or reach you. After waiting beyond the scheduled pickup time and needing to continue with the rest of the guests participating in the tour, your reservation was marked as a no-show. We completely understand that travel situations and communication issues can happen, which is why we always encourage guests to closely monitor their phone, text messages, and WhatsApp on the day before and the morning of their activity. Timely communication is extremely important so we can avoid situations like this and ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved. When we finally received your call, the tour had already departed over 30 minutes earlier and it was no longer possible to return without significantly affecting the experience of the other guests. We always strive to provide reliable and professional service to all our customers, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation publicly for future travelers. Thank you.
