El Yunque National Forest - Our day will begin with a moderate to medium level hike, discussing local flora/fauna native to Puerto Rico, as well as key roles these played in our indigenous roots on the island. Hike is about 20 min into the rainforest (approx. 1 mile, or 4 laps around a track.) Upon arrival, we will set any belongings we have brought with us to the side and continue up another 10 min (.25 miles) to the natural water slide where we will be swimming. Life vests will be provided for those who need them. Once every guest goes down the water slide, we will return to where we left our belongings to enjoy some small but exciting jumps.
And finally - the cherry on top, the famous rope swing! All activities will be recorded and photos will be taken throughout your journey! Photos or it didn’t happen!
For whoever has worked up an appetite, I can provide recommendations to a local restaurant with authentic comida criolla. Please note: lunch is not included in tour pricing. Total hiking duration: 75 min.

Not All Adventures Are Equal - I can not recommend Tranki Tours enough for this rainforest adventure for the following reasons:
1. SAFETY - while this hike is not incredibly challenging, there are challenging portions. Tristan takes safety very seriously and is there to support the group as much as needed. I watched other groups where the guide was way out front and the group trying to catch up. Trankie also provides life jackets for participants.
2. FUN - I’m assuming if you’re in PR it’s to have fun! From the moment we entered the van Tristan was ensuring we were having a good time. He has the ability to encourage those that are afraid of the jumps or water slides to conquer their fears.
3. SIZE MATTERS - I witnessed groups on the hike with over 30 people and 1 guide. Not only is that not safe, it doesn’t give you the opportunity to connect with your guide and asks questions etc. Tranki limits the group size to ensure everyone has a positive experience.
This was my second trip with Tranki tours and it won’t be the last.

Thank you! - Tristan was the best guide! Gave us facts about the forest, was attentive and made sure everyone was safe. He was very kind, easy to talk to & encouraged us to try new things safely.
He took all of our videos and photos for us as well!

Bestiessss - What can I say… literally the best tour guide anyone can ask for! Tristen went above and beyond for us making up feel right at home and welcomed. We come every year to visit family in Vega Baja and never experienced anything like what Tristen offered. 10/10 recommend!!

Awesome experience! - Awesome experience! One of the highlights of our trip to Puerto Rico. Great family excursion - adventerous and a lot of fun. Our 13 year old and 11 year old loved it. We appreciated being in a smaller group and learning about the history of the rainforest and it felt like a more intimate experience. Our guides were amazing. Very informative, fun, and kept us safe. As an added bonus, they took pictures and videos and airdropped them to the group. We finished the day off with lunch at a local spot where the food was amazing! Overall, I highly recommend this excursion.

Would definitely do this again and recommend to everyone! - Great that it was a small group, felt safe- even when some in our group were scared: bc water, waterfalls, jumping into water… lol; fun , adventurous things and friends were also able to opt out of some things if they chose to. Our tour guide is the best!
