Incredible experience! This cave tour with tubes is exceptional. The guides' knowledge and focus on fun made amazing sights even better. Caribe runs a quality business and holds to a higher standard. Well worth paying for a guided tour! The owner and his employee Carlos were absolutely fantastic to our group.

If your guide is Abel, you are going to laugh until the end. He and Marianel (sorry as I forgot her name) made the group tour so adventurous and always in sync since the start. Thoroughly enjoyed and this is a MUST TO DO when in PR. ABEL, the soul and energy of the group. What to tell about him.. tour was incomplete without him as he is the perfect guide. And the group was awesome too. They made sure we were safe, shared so many history and knowledge. Worth the money.. experience it and you will not regret.. Plus this adventure is a MUST TO DO because the caves and the underground rivers running through, the natural formations are so beautiful that you need to see it to experience it. Plus tubing is another level experience. If you love nature and adventure, go for it.

Very safe and fun, especially our guides.... Christopher was especially funny....I would recommend for anyone who likes good adventures and can manage tough hiking terrain. They helped our daughter to feel comfortable and confident in the hiking and water.

Best excursion ever!!

Allison_L, Mar 2026

This was the best excursion I’ve ever been on! I am not at all a good hiker so I was a little nervous at first but it was actually very easy and they walk you through it the entire time! They were so funny and thoughtful I would absolutely come back to Puerto Rico just to go it again! Not to mention my best friend and I were so stressed out from all of the traveling issues we had going on vacation and this cheered us up 100%. We absolutely needed this excursion to make our trip worth it! I would absolutely recommend doing this for families, friends, or even just by yourself because the tour guides were phenomenal. We are so grateful for this incredible experience!

The best- fun adventure - loved the diversity

Mary_G, Mar 2026

Abel and Jome were great guides who treated us like family. Chris kept us laughing, shared a lot about the plants, rocks and the water. This trip was an amazing adventure- we climbed a little, floated through some caves, jumped into the river, played in the waterfall all within the beautiful Charga rainforest

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for those words and trusting us family! More than welcome always to our beautiful island!

Austin_C, Mar 2026

Great experience and worth the money. Was able to see some waterfalls, tube and hike around, and do some jumping. Definitely need to be somewhat athletic and have balance but it was a blast for my friends and I. Great group and tour guides too.

Best cave tour

Aahan_D, Mar 2026

Loved the experience and the guides, Chris is our favorite person, hes the goat. Wear good hiking shoes and plan that they will get wet. You wont see caves like this any where else!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for your support and welcome always family!

Fantastic tour.

Somari_H, Mar 2026

This is a great tour. Abel and his team took their time to ensure everyone had a great experience and a safe one. I highly recommended this tour. The one thing is you must wear appropriate footwear. Im shorter than most people so while they walked through the water I swam. While they took big steps I took giant step but, they always kept my safety in mind. If I had to do it again I totally would.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for your support and for trusting us family. Welcome always!

Great experience!

Jason_K, Feb 2026

This was so much fun & exceeded our expectations. There are a few short hikes that can be challenging to young kids or others not accustomed to that kind of thing. Wear shoes with good tread. Bring a dry bag for your phone as you’ll want to take lots of pictures & videos.

Best excursion ever. It’s a must to see inside the rainforest.

Exceptional

Pam_N, Feb 2026

Abel was a wonderful guide. Certified and exceptional. Other smaller groups would pass us without tubes, life jackets or helmets. Those guides were not taking the time to explain the beautiful nature we were in. Abel was very aware of what was happening and always watching out for our safety. Even held my hand through some of the terrain. A must do if you can handle some difficult terrain and steep walking.

Best adventure!

AnnMarie_C, Jan 2026

This was an experience of a lifetime! I didn’t read fully when I booked and thought I was just going tubing down a river🤣 You could say it was definitely moderate to challenging! But we were in the BEST hands with our tour guide Abel and his side kick crazy Chris! Abel focused on safety and lots of FUN! It was so beautiful and an experience I will cherish forever. I never could have done it with out Abel and crazy Chris❤️ Thank you both! You guys are the best!

Brock_N, Jan 2026

Absolutely amazing experience. Very knowledgeable and helpful guides. Stunning scenery. Tour takes about 4.5 hours from pick up to drop off. Bring good shoes for climbing and wet rocks

Very good tour!...

Leslie_C, Jan 2026

Very good tour! Definitely go the earliest possible. Charco Azul gets full of people quickly, loved having the tubes and having the opportunity to take few breaks to just float and absorb the scenery. Do yourself a favor and use a rash guard and proper shoes. I saw other tourists really having a hard time with temperature and walking, I am sorry their tour guide did not prepare them well.

We had Amazing tour...

Kelli_E, Jan 2026

We had amazing tour guides. I’ve been on lots of excursions, this was by far the best one. Tour guides can either make or break a trip. These guys were safe, friendly, funny and made sure everyone that was on the excursion was having a great time. We got to go hiking, tubing, and rock jumping all in one excursion that didn’t take too much of the day. We got some education thrown in there as well. If you are on fence about doing this, absolutely just do this. It adds a different element to your trip to Puerto Rico. Thank you Caribe for an amazing adventure on our last day in PR.

Our Rainforest Cave...

Elizabeth_W, Jan 2026

Our Rainforest Cave Tubing adventure was amazing! Abel, our tour guide, was a hoot from the very beginning—fun, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about the experience. Our pickup location was easy to reach by Uber from Condado, and we then took a short 20-minute drive to park the van and to grab our gear. We were also met by another guide, Chris, who was just as fun, respectful, and engaging. Once suited up with helmets and life jackets, we trekked down to the river. The adventure included a short float, followed by short hike up to some incredible views and even a jumping spot! We then moved to a different section of the river, starting with another hike down—or an optional, equally amazing jump into the water. Along the way, Abel shared local culture and history, including showing us petroglyphs carved into the river walls. This was followed by more tubing and breathtaking scenery. Our final stop was a magnificent cave where we got out and explored. Throughout the entire experience, Abel and Chris made us feel safe and ensured we had an unforgettable time. If you have the chance to take this excursion, do it—you will not regret it!

Highly recommend!

JenniferL_S, Jan 2026

Great tour guides! Really appreciate their expertise and experience! My husband and I are not experienced hikers but these guides were great and did not rush me or push me. The scenery was amazing! We would not have found these caves on our own and we had a fun time with the group! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure outside of the typical hike. Everything. I mean everything will get wet so wear a bathing suit and water shoes or tevas/chacos.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Great to hear that family! We love to share this experience with all our visitors. Enjoy our island and welcome always!

Spectacular adventure

Pamela_S, Dec 2025

Excellent experience. Beautiful sites. Experienced, funny guides who looked out our safety. It is not for the faint of heart. You need really good shoes to scale rocks and it does get cold going in and out of the water in the shade but totally worth it if you’re an adventurous sort.

Awesome experience

Amy_T, Dec 2025

This was an amazing experience! The guides were magnificent - fun, helpful and I felt completely safe with them the whole time. There is a lot of climbing so not meant for someone with mobility issues. But we got to see so much and had so much fun! We would definitely recommend this tour. Be sure to wear water shoes with good grip!

Amazing cave tubing experience

Mohammed_A, Dec 2025

We had an amazing 4 hours through all kinds of terrain walking through riverbeds and slushies, slimy, muddy areas and beautiful forests and two Cliff dives. It was exhausting at times but exhilarating. My biggest recommendation is to wear non-slip shoes with a good grip on the bottom. Even if they're sneakers. They're going to get wet and muddy, but you can wash them off at the end. Also bring a water protective cover for your cell phone so you can take lots of pictures. Maryal and Christopher were amazing tour guides. Highly recommend
