Perfect low exertion tour. Short walk learning about the plants & animals. Great for people who don’t want lots of hiking.
Joey_D, Mar 2026
Plan a whole day .. Should change time of tour from 9 to 5 not 9 to 3. We missed our event for 5pm that was paid for and couldn't get a refund .

Not too much walking but bring shoes that have good grip due to wet stones etc. and bring a poncho also! Guides Joshua and Raphael were terrific. Great team.

The tour guide was very nice and funny, and the driver did an excellent job navigating the rainforest roads. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this trip. The rainforest portion was very short—we barely walked half a mile. The observation tower was just okay, and the river stop was underwhelming, with lots of rocks and cold water.
Then we went to Luquillo Beach, which wasn’t my cup of tea. The beach was dirty and not well-maintained, and it was crowded with locals. We ended up taking an Uber back.
While the staff were wonderful, the tour didn’t meet my expectations. I had hoped for a longer, more immersive rainforest experience and a cleaner, more relaxing beach visit.

Great tour with Raphael! He was very attentive, informative and very funny! We had a wonderful time from start to finish. The food and drinks at Luquillo were amazing! Take this tour!
Pankuri_G, Mar 2025
It was relatively easy, less stressful, lovely and informative guide (as advertised). We didn’t have time to do much at Loquilla other than sit down for a meal and maybe have 15 mins to spare. We weren’t looking to sit at the beach with no shade so it worked out well

We loved visiting El Yunque with Rafael! He was charming and knowledgeable and lots of fun. He called the day before to confirm pickup time and place and arrived promptly. El Yunque was beautiful and we loved going on this tour. It is not strenuous. My only complaint would be the Luquillo Beach stop. 2 hours is too long for this stop. The beach itself is pretty but many of the kiosks were either not open or vacant and there was a lot of trash in these vacant spots. Luquillo Beach kiosk owners needs to clean up their area. We did have a tasty lunch at Kiosk 50 El Fuego.

This tour was an amazing experience from start to finish!
First Stop: The observation tower offered breathtaking panoramic views of the lush rainforest—definitely a highlight for photo enthusiasts.
Second Stop: We visited a stunning waterfall, perfect for snapping pictures and soaking in the serene atmosphere.
Third Stop: A short hike led us to a refreshing swimming spot, where we cooled off and enjoyed the natural beauty of El Yunque.
Final Stop: We ended the day at Luquillo Beach. We ate at kiosk #50, and the food was absolutely delicious—a fantastic way to wrap up the tour.
Our tour guide was fantastic! They shared fascinating information about Puerto Rico's history, culture, and nature as we traveled between stops. Their insights added so much value to the experience.
Highly recommend this combo tour for anyone looking to explore Puerto Rico's natural beauty and enjoy a mix of adventure and relaxation!

I loved the experience friendly staff! All the places we saw were beautiful! We were picked up and dropped off, super easy and convenient. Would definitely book with them again. 😊
Sierah_M, Nov 2024
Our tour guide Raphael was excellent, he was very welcoming and shared information about Puerto Rico in a relatable and witty way. The tour bus was comfortable, pickup and drop off was seamless. The sites visited all met expectations, our favorite being the nature hike to the river where the great weather permitted a dip in the cool refreshing water. The time at the beach was sufficient to explore the food and drink stalls and souvenir shops; we chose not to swim in the sea. All in all a great experience.
Ashley_T, Jul 2024
Very enjoyable day trip. Rupert was a great guide, patient with us and took time to provide us with a mix of history, cultural information and fun facts. Good communication around pick up times etc.
We had plenty of time to swim in the river and hang out at the beach and did not feel rushed.
Note that there is no hiking involved.
David_J, Dec 2023
My wife and I really enjoyed the tour of the rainforest and beach. We especially enjoyed our tour guide, Rafael, as he was so attentive to the group and willing to take photos. This young man called us the morning of the trip to confirm meeting place and time and was so much fun and very knowledgeable about the history and the rainforest. Thank you Rafael for the driving and overall experience, Dave & Kaori from Chicago!!!!
Amanda_B, Nov 2023
We are on our Honeymoon and this was perfect. Rafael our tour guide was by far amazing and went above and beyond for our group. He was full of knowledge and always had us laughing.
Teresha_H, Jul 2022
Knowledgable, patient tour guide throughout the entire tours. They accommodated our large group on a personal family tour

JaNeisha_S, Oct 2021
Nice little hike with my bf. The river was beautiful, nice and cold and clear. The beach and the kiosks at the end were also nice i got a few gifts for family and had some great food and strong margaritas.
Kandis_M, Sep 2021
I enjoyed this experience! We got rained on by the time we reached the beach though so I wish it had lasted longer! But the drivers were nice as well.
Amal_H, Sep 2021
Our adventure was excellent! Our tour guide Louie was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I only wish our hike was a bit longer but altogether an excellent experience!

Jennifer_M, Jul 2021
We had a wonderful day on this excursion. Martin was our guide for the day .. he was very accommodating and made sure that we had the very best time. We were also lucky to be with a great group of people and we enjoyed meeting people for other places. We will definitely be back!
Miten_P, Jul 2021
The river was the highlight of the trip and the guide was very knowledgeable. Just wish there was more hiking. 3 mile beach was good but would have rather spent that time in the rainforest.
Marquesia_A, Jul 2021
Our guide was excellent!!! Very friendly and patient. Im a non swimmer and he made it so comfortable for me to jump into the river. Im still in awe. I greatly recommend!!!

Martin was a pleasure of a tour guide! His first priority was his group ensuring that we had first dibs and enjoyed every feature of the experience. I didn’t know that the tour included eating at a local food spot (loved how authentic the food was! And the smoothies were great!) and a trip to a beautiful beach! Highly recommend. Sad we didn’t get to see more animals that’s the only reason it wasn’t a 5/5
Shekinah_D, Jun 2021

NaKerria_N, Jun 2021
Great Experience All Around I Would Definitely Do It Again. The Views Were Beautiful And The Guide Was Amazing.
Danielle_M, Jun 2021
This tour was a perfect birthday trip experience. Martin the tour guide was punctual, knowledgeable, and personable. We learned some of Puerto Rico’s history, rainforest tour with a swim, stopped for a bite to eat, and went to the beach. A little bit of everything and it was amazingly perfect. Book Now!!!
