I could not recommend this tour more. The guide Derrick was AMAZING. The tour itself, was such an experience. If you’re afraid of getting dirty, have injuries, or are afraid of a challenge then this is not for you so don’t blame the agency read the print. We jumped cliffs, swam through caves, played in waterfalls. Tour guide even helped push a whole car up a hill for tourists who were struggling. Definitely recommend! I came out of this searching for my next hike or higher jump. The beach after was beautiful. Not too crowded tons of food truck options, perfect way to relax after. 100/10 experience. I would do it again the next time I’m here!

Thank you so much for your review it is greatly appreciated and means a lot. I’m glad you enjoyed your time out in the tour . You guys were a great group . Safe travels and keep exploring!
This by far was probably my favorite excursion out of everything my boyfriend and I did in Puerto Rico. Nothing prepares you for how beautiful the caves are. They will say the water is cold but highkey they’re lying it was so nice! We even went with some people that didn’t know how to swim but they even had a great time, our guide Derek was super chill and was a great guide for us! They provide life jackets as well. After the caves you go to a beach called Mar Chiquita and the beach is very rocky so bring water shoes 100%

We had a great time! Very fun day for our family that included swimming, hiking through caves and some time on the beach. Make sure you bring water shoes and leave your phone in the van. Our guide took lots of photos of us so we would have the memories without risking our phones. I highly recommend this tour!

This was such a hidden gem experience. Derrick was a fantastic guide, and charco azul was so beautiful. I had no idea I’d have such a great time. The hardest part of the day (besides the walk back up the hill to the van), was having to go home at the end of the day! The beach you end up at is so beautiful.

Than you for your review it is greatly appreciated. Safe travels and keep exploring
This was an incredible experience! The cave swimming and cliff jumping was so much fun and our guide Izzy was a great host and took great care of us. Make sure to bring water shoes or old sneakers because there is some rock scrambling required and if you don’t have the right footwear you will have a hard time. Water and rum pouches after the hike were a nice little addition. The beach at the end was also very beautiful and refreshing. Recommend bringing cash for the food trucks; some took Cash App/ Zelle/ Venmo.

This excursion is exactly what I was hoping for when visiting PR go the 1st time. It's a great combination of hiking the rain forest, jumps into the water(~8, 13 & 35 foot jumps), wading/swimming thru the caves, waterfall & visiting the beach. Beach was beautiful and the food was delicious.
Derrick was great. He is very helpful, patient & knowledgeable.

Thank you for the review. It is greatly appreciated. I’m glad you and your group. Enjoy your time out on the Tour. Safe travels and keep exploring.
The event was pretty great! We met up at starting location & picked us up. They Initially took us towards a small hike & then bam! They said jump into the water. I cannot swim so it was unexpected for me but to be fair, the listing said you have to be an adequate swimmer to really enjoy it. I jumped & it was really exhilarating! Luckily, the weren't a lot of deep parts of water, maybe 35% of the tour. The hardest part of the tour is the jumping. But it was worth the jump! Beautiful caves & excellent tour guide! Some small feedback, the coordination between the teams wasn't the best, we booked for 2pm, they cancelled on us, rescheduled for 8am, then they said 11am. Luckily we didn't have any plans that day.

Thank you for your review. It’s greatly appreciate it. I’m glad that you enjoyed your time out on the tour. Safe travels and keep exploring.
We had an amazing experience at Charco Azul, and a huge part of that was Derek, our guide. He was absolutely fantastic. He has the patience of a saint, was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and was genuinely kind and encouraging throughout the entire trip. We would absolutely recommend this tour because of him.
That said, it is very important to read and honestly assess the physical requirements before booking.
My husband and I are in our late 50s and in average shape but do a lot of hiking, and while it was definitely a workout, we were prepared. There was also a child in our group who did very well. This tour involves steep terrain, uneven surfaces, and sections that require pulling your own body weight up using rocks.
Unfortunately, one participant was unable to complete the climbing portions without significant assistance, which caused extremely long delays. Because of the time lost, the rest of the group ultimately chose to skip the cliff jumps so we would not spend the remainder of the day waiting.
This is not a criticism of the guide or the tour itself. The tour was exactly as described. The takeaway is simple: read the physical requirements and be honest with yourself so everyone can fully enjoy the experience.

Thank you for your detailed review. I greatly appreciate it. This will help future travelers to understand the requirements that it does take to do this tour. If you’re reading this review, you need to understand that if you have back problems knee problems or recently just had surgery you will want to refrain from this Tour I want to thank you again for the review. Safe travel travels and keep exploring.
Awesome experience and bring water proof back pack or case for camera. Derrick was very nice and I had full trust in him to guide us as he was a big guy.

This was an amazing experience and Derek was an amazing guide!! Previous reviews don’t do it justice!!! You can bring a bag and leave it in the car. Def recommend waterproof phone case
You start meeting your guide Derek. Then it’s about a 35-40 minute drive to Charco Azul. The water was a little murky due to rain yesterday. But it cleared up as we continued through the day!
Your start by walking down a paved hill, which you’ll do 2x one time down and one time back up. Then your first hike through the forrest, your met with a small Cliff which has to be done to get to the caves. After the first jump, you make your way swimming through some caves. After the caves you make it to a waterfall. A lot of moments to take photos.
After the caves your guided to another hiking trail, where you can choose to do the Cliff Jumps. There are three different heights you can do or you can just hang in the water and cheer on others! After your cliff jumps, we took another break to take more photos and chat.
After the hiking and swimming we made our way to the beach. The beach is another 15 min drive from Charco Azul. The beach was so gorgeous and had a few food trucks and beach bars to try. The excursion ends with a drive back to your meet up point where we were able to get the photos and videos Derek took of us throughout the day!

Thank you for your detailed review it is greatly appreciated. Im glad you enjoyed your time out on the tour!Safe travels.
We were a family of middle aged parents and two teenaged kids. Everyone had an amazing time on this trip. You do need a reasonable level of fitness and sense of adventure to enjoy this trip. Once you reach the parking area near the river, there's a fairly steep walk down to the river (which you'll also have to walk up at the end of the day).
Water shoes with secure straps are the best footwear choice if you have them. My kids didn't and just got their sneakers wet/sandy. Anything you bring to the river will get wet, so leave anything in the van that you don't want to get wet. We didn't have a dry bag for phones so we left them. Our guide took lots of great photos and videos for us.
At the river, we took a short hike to the first jump. You jump off the approximately 6-foot edge into the water below where you're looking into an amazing cave. Our guide, Isail, was great and talked us through how to do the jumps. Even my afraid of heights husband managed all but the highest jump. I think there is a way to avoid the jump off you really don't want to jump (we saw another tour climbing down to the water), but the jump is really a fun part of the trip.
We explored the cave, a waterfall that you could go under and behind and the river area. Then we had the chance for the higher cliff jumps - 10-foot and 35-foot. The jumps were awesome.
We then went back to the car to drive to a beautiful beach where we had a nice lunch from a food truck (bring cash!) and a chance to hang out at the beach.
The communication from the tour company was excellent even though we booked very last minute.

My sister-in-law and I signed up for this excursion on a recent trip to Puerto Rico. We were a bit tentative at the outset because we are both in our sixties, however our delightful and encouraging guide was extremely patient and respectful of our fears and assured our safety and comfort throughout the day. We jumped off a 7-10 foot cliff into a somewhat chilly pool then swam through beautiful caves before emerging on the other side for a hike through the rain forest up the mountain and alongside the river. After a short rest hiked back to our vehicle for a drive to the beach. Although we are from Florida, and have been to many beaches, this one was absolutely stunning. We had a nice lunch there from food trucks offering authentic local fare and sipped on refreshing Pina Coladas while relaxing and reflecting on the day. We are thrilled to have completed this challenging and exhilarating experience. Highly recommend!!
