Great tour - Great tour guide, great views, nice stops great value for your money… yes we could have done it by ourselves but to leave the drive to someone else was a chance for me to enjoy the terrain and drive.. however if you are trying to do some serious hiking this is not the tour for you

Great day! Short hike in... - Great day! Short hike in El Yunque, visit to the lookout tower, and a stop at the river. All before visiting Playa Luquillo and the kiosks. Rafael, our tour guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely book again!

Go! You won’t regret it! - Great tour and even greater tour guide. Easy tour through El Yunque with beautiful views and calming waters. The stop at Luquillo was well worth it- I only wished we could’ve stayed longer!

Wonderful Experience! - We had so much fun on this tour! Rafael was an amazing tour guide. He was funny, knowledgeable, was very interactive with our group. Our group was about 12 people. We felt safe and taken care of. The rain forest itself was amazing as well. We saw lots of different trees, flora and the occasional lizard and snails and heard all the sounds of a rain forest. Bring good shoes because will be wet and rainy (hence rain forest!). My group of friends and I all wore water shoes and that worked great. We also saw a waterfall and went to Luquillo beach. Overall a wonderful experience! 5 stars!

Rainforest hike & local food tour - Rafael was a great tour guide - he kept the energy light, fun, and informative. We learned about Puerto Rico's flora, fauna, and trade.

Great day trip to rainforest and beach - Our tour guide, Angel, was communicative prior to the tour pick up at our hotel in their small bus. Angel was friendly and we felt safe while he drove us to El Yunque and Luquillo. We enjoyed the time he gave us to walk around the tower and to enjoy the swimming spot in the river. We did not want to do cliff jumping and rock slides, so this was perfect for us! I only wish we had an extra hour in Luquillo to enjoy some more beach time after getting something to eat. We didn’t realize when Angel was leaving us at Luquillo that another employee would be driving us back to San Juan, so we were a bit confused when finding the bus again. We were also sorry to have missed the opportunity to tip Angel.

Our tour guide Rafael was... - Our tour guide Rafael was very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable for me and my family. As for the hike, don't expect anything moderate , max 10-15min easy hike. I wasn't impressed with Luquillo Beach , it was dirty and the jet skies were super close to the swimming area, but we made it enjoyable.
