Wonderful experience! - This tour was perfect for us. Our driver/ tour guide drove us through part of the Rainforest and we stopped at the observation tower and climbed to the top to see spectacular views. Then we went to a beautiful waterfall and took pics. Next we went to the visitor’s center. Then on to a hike in the rainforest and a visit to the river where we were allowed to swim, jump off ledges into the river and swing on a rope and jump into the river. Our guide was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We got to know some very nice people. It was a very good tour.

El Yunque Park - We booked a Rainforest Tour during our stay in Old San Juan and had Raphael as our driver/tourguide. We have been on many tours and excursions but this one was exceptional. I think Raphael may have been the best guide we have ever encountered. He was friendly, considerate and knowledgeble, we enjoyed him considerably.

El Yunke rainforest - The dip in the river was very refreshing. The guide, Monica was very knowledgeable. Our driver, Javier, was very safe.

El Yunque - Raphael was a great tour guide. His passion and knowledge of Puerto Rico was expansive. He catered to our groups needs. I highly recommend using Rafi on your next trip.

Phenomenal - Our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal and added so much to the trip. My favorite part was the water activity, but I wish we thought to get water proof cases.

Entertaining - Our tour was very laid back and easy. If you can walk a mile without stumbling or getting short of breath you'll be fine on this tour. It was like walking in the woods with friends. It was only one 1 mile wooded trail with optional swimming. Waterfalls and slides are not as glamorous as they appear in advertisement pictures. However, it's nice and entertaining. Research your prices I almost booked this tour for $125 with another company. I got this tour for $78. It had the same itinerary and similar description just a different company name and pictures. Our guide was a pleasant man but I told him twice I needed to go to the bathroom and he never stopped. I suppose he forgot, we're all human. I was very unhappy 😡 the last hour.

Total disappointment - Booked the El Yunque rainforest tour through Virgin Cruises; Rico Sun Tours was the operator of the shore excursion. We spent most of the day (5 hours) either on the tour bus or at the park concession stand (1 1/2 hours). Did not have an opportunity to do any hiking in the rainforest or go swimming, as promised. Total disappointment and waste of time. Recommend finding another tour operator.
