I loved this experience! For someone who wants to enjoy nature without the crowd do this tour! The tour guides were amazing, patient, and kind and fun! Very patient with my 7 year old godson and giving him the confidence to do scary things like jumping off a cliff. My mom now has more confidence to get in the water and was not blown away or traumatized by the difficulty level of the hike or the swim and falls. The tour guide helped my mom slowly gain her confidence and I appreciate that. Thank you. My friends and family will definitely be back.

This is an AMAZING experience. Our tour guide was Narayan and he’s so nice and helped my family and I every step of the way. The waterfall is big and breathtaking. He takes you all the way until you’re standing right next to the waterfall. It’s a mile hike there and back, and the local restaurant is delicious.

At first I booked a cheaper tour that took up to 30 people that canceled due to weather and I'm glad it did! I re-booked a smaller tour with Narayan and Seeing Puerto Rico and recieved a 1st Class personalized experience. He took us to a private place that we had all to ourselves. Can't recommend the experience any higher...definitely a highlight of our trip!

A great experience, even the car ride is filled with laughter and facts about the island and mountains. Our guides showed us local establishments and foods to try as we made our way to the rainforest. Our guides were the most kind, energetic and sweet people. They really added to the fun and beautiful experience. It definitely was great time with great views! (our guides were Lismar and Narayan.)

We will go again if we make it back to Puerto Rico. We were picked up at the hotel, saw some sights along the drive, then hiked down to a waterfall and swimming hole. We had the whole place to ourselves. It was a great day.

My girlfriend and I had an AMAZING tour with Narayan. I loved that his transportation was paired with excellent commentary about Puerto Rico and he was extremely knowledgeable. The tour itself was nothing short of incredible and blew our expectations away. When swimming, he made sure to accommodate everyone based on their skill and comfort levels. Even my girlfriend who isn’t the most confident swimmer turned more adventurous based on the comfort and guidance Narayan provided. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting PR who is looking for something off the beaten path and a memory worth a lifetime.

Lismar was a wonderfully knowledgeable and caring guide who gave the two of us a personal tour even though there had been a cancellation. It was a beautiful, memorable and highly enjoyable hike.

Lismar and Jahany were the best! They took great care of you though out the whole experience. From the time you’re picked up until your drop off, you feel like family! The waterfall and hike were the best part of our vacation!! So much fun! Don’t look anywhere else, book your next adventure with Seeing Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 !!

Incredible experience! We felt like we got to experience something truly unique because we saw no other big tourist groups. The tour guide Narayan genuinely cares that everyone is having a great time.

Our group of 16 had front door accommodations and they picked us up at our Airbnb, the ride there was full of history of Puerto Rico which I ended. We made a quick stop at a local store and was able to support a business, then finally made our destination to the rainforest. The entire experience was amazing Lismar & Narayan were amazing guides! The hike was a bit challenging but they supported everyone everyone offered encouragement along the way! We stopped for breathers, learned about the different plants and trees surrounding. The waterfall was beautiful! Cliff jumping was evening more excited. They made sure everyone was safe, swam with those who needed extra support and even cliff jumped with those a bit nervous. The final hike out the rainforest was just as great. This is definitely an adventure tour if you want something to challenge your inner warrior! The food stop at a local restaurant was delicious. I loved how they connected with local businesses to bring them patrons from their tours that doesn’t get a lot of tourism dollars because it’s so far in the mountains. They were also excellent drivers!

Standing under the waterfall was unbelievable and jumping off the cliff absolutely incredible. Our tour guy was the best ever he was so helpful and a true gentleman.

The drive up to the entrance of the trail was filled with the history of puerto rico and gave us great insight on the political status. We stopped at a market for a small breakfast and continued to a view point for pictures. During our hike we saw the waterfall through the rainforest and were able to take photos along the way. Best part of all was the waterfall! We got to jump from three different heights and Narayan taught us safely how to jump!! It was an extremely memorable experience and we are grateful to have had Narayan as our guide! He is the absolute best! Thank you Narayan!!

Our tour guide was the best ever! He was so informative about Puerto Rico and its rich history! His driving made us feel very comfortable as he navigated through the mountains and terrain of the country! He even taught me how to dive off a cliff that was 50 feet high, something i never imagined doing in my life!

I definitely would recommend this tour 1000%. Narayan, Lismar, and their daughter are amazing tour guides and extremely knowledgeable. They make you feel a part of their family. This tour was a surprise birthday gift for my bf in Jun '22. He cannot swim and had a blast!! He even did the cliff jump, unassisted! This attests to Narayan and Lismar's personalities and professionalism. The hike to the waterfall is a bit challenging but, doable. They guide you through and make sure we were altogether. Various ages groups, physique types, etc. were on our tour and everyone raved how much fun they had. At the waterfall, you can chill, swim to the waterfall, cliffjump, etc. No pressure. Narayan is awesome and he makes you feel so comfortable in the water. He even assisted me with the cliffjump because I was afraid of the height! Also, I mentioned my bf's bday the night prior and if we could do something special for him. After the tour, they surprised him with gifts, cupcakes, and had everyone sing Happy Birthday. WE were truly surprised. Never expected so much!! I cannot put into words how amazing this family is. We plan on reaching out to them when we visit PR again. THANKS NARAYAN & LISMAR!! ~Brandon and Gabrielle

My family and I just did EL Yunque hike and waterfall tour on Father’s Day! It was incredible, beautiful views. At times it was difficult climbing, I’m so out of shape - with the help of Narayan, his lovely wife Lismar and their sweet daughter ; I did it. They made sure we were comfortable and safe the entire time. They were such sweet and down to earth people; very genuine! Very knowledgeable about the forest and just overall a really nice family! You can tell how much they enjoy and love what they do and it shows. My daughters loved it, especially my youngest. Narayan and Lismar, hands down best tour guides! It was so sweet that their daughter joins them and helps out- such a polite personable young lady ( great job mom and dad). My husband and I highly recommend this and any other tour by this couple. We had a great time!! Thank you guys!!!

Our guide Lismar and her daughter were amazing!! It was a beautiful waterfall and the hike was the perfect distance! After the hike the food spot she took us to was so yummy! I loved that it was a local Puerto Rican spot.

Lismar & Yahany were our tour guides and they were so amazing! I loved every single part of this tour! Lismar is full of cool facts, stories, tips and jokes. This experience was the best part of my trip and I’m so happy we were able to go see a waterfall, swim and even jump into the water. We stopped at a local store before we arrived to the trail to grab snacks, then stopped at the top of the hill to enjoy the view. On our way back we stopped for lunch and she helped everyone order to make it easy. Honestly, don’t hesitate to book this tour and I hope your guide is Lismar! When I go back I want to go again with her, she’s seriously the best! Thank you for such a great experience and memories to cherish for a lifetime.

This tour was the highlight of my trip! My friends and I had an amazing time. Lismar and Naryan were amazing tour guides. They were very helpful, patient, enthusiastic and passionate about the work they do. We highly recommend them!
Paul_M, Mar 2022
Guide took us through the rain forest to a secluded waterfall and pond where we swam. This was away from the tourist crowds to a secret place that only locals know about. Highly recommend Seeing Puerto Rico your company.
Michael_D, Mar 2022
Lismar was an excellent guide, and treated us like family during out hike. Safety was clearly paramount for her and Narayan, and they allowed us to push our comfort zone while ensuring our safety. We enjoyed swimming at the waterfall, cliff jumping, and a delicious lunch afterwards. Thanks so much Lismar!
Laura_C, Mar 2022
Narayan and Lismar are delightful, charming, and knowledgeable, and they were wonderful guides on a very slippery and muddy hike - making all of us feel cared for and capable. And the falls are gorgeous. You should do this.
Sandeep_K, Mar 2022
It was really a great hike to the fall and Narayan he was a fantastic person guided us very well. We don’t know basic swimming also but he took us to the waterfall which is really appreciated. Well guided, beautiful views and he explained each and everything about the Puerto Rico and about the forest. Much recommend trip 😍🤗👍

This was the highlight of our stay in Puerto Rico. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and had obviously put a great deal of thought and effort into making this excursion convenient and memorable.
George_R, Sep 2021
I myself loved the ride up the mountain road, one can see Puerto Rico from a different vantage point, away from the resorts. The beautiful hike to the waterfall was nice. Best of all for me being from NC, the lack of mosquitos and ticks was wonderful! Our guide was great, not only in giving information while on the trail, but information about PR and it’s history. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Honestly it was the most memorable experience I have done. Definitely recommend it. Tour guide was amazing.
