Amazing 2 Adventures in One Package

Xiaofeng_C, Dec 2025

We booked this adventure package to celebrate our anniversary and our son's graduation. This was such a memorable experience. Our guide Wesley picked us up from our hotel; and since this was a private tour, timing was flexible. 1 hour drive to Playa Caracoles, where we hiked/climbed up the rugged rock formation to see the magnificent sea splashing against the rocks and making huge waves. There were numerous look out points that were high above the sea, yielding amazing vantage views below. There was a cave with ancient carvings on the rock. Going down via a narrow cave cleavage reauired some efforts. Half way into it, we decided against going all the way down due to high tides and rising water level below. Before this adventure began, the tour company arranged for a photo shoot with us holding a celebratory signage made of balloons (anniversary and graduation) against the backdrop of this beautiful scene. Nice touch, very thoughtful! The second part of this tour, the cave adventure of Charco Azul was 40 minutes away. Another local guide joined in addition to Wesley, providing us with additional safety measures and guidance of local geological insights. The journey down to the water caves required jumping off of a 10ft rock into the water, some swiming and hiking/climbing, swiming in pitch dark caves before reaching some magnificent waterfalls and feeling the power of nature while standing in the waterfall. Such an awesome journey, where we were part of the nature while the nature embraced us. Our tour guide Wesley, took video and photos of us throughout these two adventures, which was part of this private tour package. There was only one thing that I want to bring up, this tour supposedly includes water and alcoholic beverages, but we weren't provided with those. But it was fine, because we brought water on our own; and I didn't think drinking alcohol and cave adventure was a good mix.

So much fun exploring!

We had an incredible time exploring the more remote parts of Puerto Rico with our tour guide Airam. We arrived with another couple and Airam was there waiting for our adventure, right on time. Our first stop to the Taino Indian Cave was beautiful, watching the ocean spray hit the rock formations that have formed over so many years. After hiking up, we were met with the cave entrance which Airam expertly guided us through to continue exploring the cave. Once in the cave we stopped for some photo ops and information about the markings found inside. After enjoying a little ocean spray we hiked our way out and headed out to our next destination. Along the way we made a pit stop at a local food truck for some delicious food and refreshments. The Vega Baja cave experience was equally beautiful, with a trek down a trail and a very manageable jump into the river. We waded through and swam our way to the cave, spent some time checking it out, and made our way out after some time. Airam was a great guide, super friendly with a ton of fun conversation along the way. We highly recommend this tour!

Fun Adventure in Beautiful Seven Arches

Laura_T, Jun 2023

I had a great time with Bralliam on this tour. It was quite an adventure and a workout! Climbing through the rocks was tough and totally worth it, it's so beautiful. The Seven Arches area is just wonderful. The local food truck was perfect, just the right amount of food and tasty too. Keep an eye out for the little cookies they sell too, they're kind of hidden. Swimming in the river was fun and I even jumped off a small cliff. The whole day was awesome, Bralliam is an enthusiastic, helpful, and fun guide.
