This tour was amazing! Abel, Yoma and the boys were phenomenal. They all ensured we were safe, learning and entertained. Their patience, and understanding of everyone’s limitations made this excursion enjoyable from start to finish. From hiking, to the amazing views from the waterfalls this is a 10/10 must do experience.

This was an awesome tour! Highly highly recommend. The tour guides went above and beyond. They turned the van ride into a party/dance bus. It was a super fun day of floating through caves, hiking to a waterfall, and doing some cliff jumping. It exceeded our expectations.

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.

They call you family for a reason.

Megan_G, Sep 2026

Of all the excursions on all the trips I’ve ever taken, this one sets the example. Abel and crew were great. They call you family throughout the adventure, they aren’t kidding. By the time you leave, you feel like family and it’s hard to say goodbye.

Amazingg!!

Amber_W, Sep 2026

10/10 experience! Abel and his sons showed us the ins and outs and we had a blast! It was a family oriented vibe and everyone had fun and got along. Afterwards we ate goood!

Thanks and welcome always family!

Amazing experience!

Wendy_L, Sep 2026

This was genuinely one of the best experiences of my trip! The caves were so cool and it wasn’t as intense as I expected it to be. We hiked and floated on the tubes and explored deep into the forest. The guides were so accommodating - it could be as intense as you wanted it to be (like jumping off a small cliff and into the water) or as chill as you wanted because the jumping was optional. I had a great time but be prepared to be fully submerged in water at some parts of the excursion. They tell you this, but make sure you bring a change of clothes!!! Overall, I loved this experience and appreciated the tour guides so much! They’re also a family business so I hope they continue to get bookings. I would definitely recommend!!

Thanks for those words and trusting us family! Welcome always to our beautiful island!

Amazing!

Alex_E, Sep 2026

We did 4 excursions on our vacation! We had amazing times with every adventure but this was our number 3 spot I think only because the group was big., Other excursions we did had less people so it was more intimate. The scenery was definitely top 2. It was so beautiful! Our tour guides were very kind and knowledgeable too!:

Elizabeth_E, Aug 2026

This experience was amazing, the tour guides were very personable and supportive throughout the whole endeavor. More hiking than I initially thought there would be, but balanced well with the water activities. I have a semi bad knee and was able to complete with minimal support from guides. If you need assisting devices to walk, I would not recommend.

Amazing Adventure!

We had the most amazing day. Our guides were fun, kind and knowledgeable about the area. Best adventure we have had. Everyone in our group came away feeling fantastic. The day was so much more than we expected!

Thanks and welcome always to our beautiful island family!

Excellent your guides, fun, but must be willing and able to hike up and down steep terrain.

Amy_P, Aug 2026

Very nice tour guides, made sure my mother and everyone was safe. Long and very steep up and down hills, uneven terrain, and very difficult to walk. You need to be able to push yourself using arms and legs down river. Excellent and informative tour guides.

Tia_M, Aug 2026

It was more than I expected, in not in a bad way, it challenged me and I over came my fear! Unfortunately the husband’s of my friend and I had to return to base. It was too much for the. So my girlfriend and I had to finish it out like champs! The team took care of them, and us of course. They love what they do and their country. Thanks for an awesome weekend time.

We had such a great time! Abel and his family made the whole experience so enjoyable—they were welcoming, friendly, and made us feel safe throughout the whole excursion. Afterward, they even took us to enjoy authentic Puerto Rican food, and it was hands down the best meal we had on our entire trip! You can tell they truly care about what they do. I highly recommend checking them out—we’ll definitely be back!

Amazing adventure!

Patrick_P, Jul 2026

Absolutely awesome adventure. The group that runs this is amazing and incredibly passionate about Puerto Rico. This is a very intense hike in parts so be ready for that. Make sure you wear closed toed supportive water shoes or sneakers that you can get wet.

A wildly challenging, totally rewarding and somewhat scary adventure!

Corinne_S, Jul 2026

This was the most challenging and incredible hike/adventure I have ever been on! All of the guides were amazing, fun, patient and helpful. The paths were treacherous - I'm talking wearing a helmet, climbing backward down hills, navigating rocky paths that were maybe one foot wide and wading through streams sometimes in waist-deep water. I have never done anything like this and they held my hand -- often literally -- the whole way and never seemed annoyed with my klutziness. I conquered my fear of jumping from a cliff (maybe 10 or 12 feet high?) into the water thanks to the support of the awesome Caribe team and the rest of our tour group. The places we got to see were absolutely magical. The waterfall, the caves - I felt like I was in an episode of Planet Earth. If you're up for a crazy challenge (unless you're like a hardcore hiker or mountain climber - maybe then this would be normal for you??) this is absolutely worth the exertion! Thank you to the whole Caribe family! ❤️

Kelly_A, Jul 2026

We had an amazing time on the cave tubing and hiking tour! It was such a fun and unique experience—definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The guides were fantastic: knowledgeable, helpful, and hilarious. They made everyone feel comfortable and safe while sharing interesting information throughout the hike and caves. Their energy and sense of humor made the entire adventure even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for something different and unforgettable, I highly recommend this tour. We had an absolute blast!

Abel and his family were excellent guides. They helped 2 of our party get back safely when they weren't able to continue. And they also got me a ride up the hill after I had an asthma attack. Then they showed us a wonderful place to eat Puerto Rican food and helped us order.
