Amazing Experience! - This was such an amazing experience! The tour guides, Jason & Elias were super helpful, helping you get across the more difficult terrain. They take pictures and videos of everyone in the group doing different activities, so we never had to worry about taking our own photos. The trail was difficult, with a lot of rock climbing but it was very worth it in the end!

Great guides for amazing adventure. - Luis and Julian were exceptional guides!! They were very knowledgeable and took very good care of us. This company provides helmets and floatation devices which were very much appreciated with our activities. Best of you are strong and agile. The stop on the way there served very good fresh fruit smoothies.

so MUCH fun - This was the BEST trip! Let me tell you i was a little unsure about booking this but don’t you worry it was fantastic! The guides were amazing, caring, and most of all became family! The pickup service was amazing, the bus was nice, and even with a little misunderstanding on my part they made it possible for me and my dad to get on the tour bus! Make sure you triple check the location!! The hike wasn’t to hard but there was quite a decent amount of climbing and drop offs. The entire trip felt unreal. The waterfall slide and cliff jumping was soooo much fun! The place we stopped at before was nice and had lots of options for snacks and souvenirs. The restaurant we stopped at after was delicious and was easily the best meal i’ve had all weak! All in all so much fun and I definitely recommend!

It was a fantastic trip... - It was a fantastic trip and definitely worth it. Jason was awesome and very knowledgeable on Puerto Rican history and ecology, and kept the pace appropriate for varying skillsets. If you have experience hiking, it may make you antsy to have to wait for others at times, but it helps you slow down and appreciate the beauty of the rainforest. Prepare for 3 miles total of walking and mud mud mud. Wepa!

Fantastic tour with Adriana! - Adriana was the BEST tour guide. Energetic, encouraging, fun, and super knowledgeable about El Yunque. She really made it a special trip to a special place. Things to know: the hike is pretty challenging. Be ready to hike through mud (“embrace the mud!” as Adriana told us). It can be slippery. Then to get to the top, where the real fun begins (water slide and cliff jumping!), there’s some challenging rock climbs. But Adriana talked us through each section and made sure we all made it safely. Bring a change of clothes and another pair of shoes. Your shoes will be soaked. I’m glad I booked through Viator because of Adriana and the fact that Viator seemed to be the only group with helmets, which seemed like a good idea when sliding in the water down the face of a mountain! Great tour!

So Fun! - This was such a fun day in the Rainforest! Jason and Luis created such a fun vibe from the very beginning and by the time we reached the rainforest we were already "family." Loved all the activities--waterslide, rope swing, swimming, hiking. I would say it was a more difficult/dangerous hike than expected. Highly recommend good hiking shoes over water shoes! And take it easy on the rocky, slippery parts or you will regret it. But we came out no worse for wear and had a delightful time. A trip highlight for sure and it was definitely enhanced by our tour leaders. Thanks so much Jason and Luis!

Great guide, good vibes - Our guide Julian was hilarious and took great care even as it started to rain (which made this expirence so cool) and made sure to properly help us. He had everyone we passed cracking up and had a great spot for food. Honestly I'd do it again. Tell Pupi we said thank you!
