- Cueva del Indio - Get ready for the most unique experience in your life! First we meet up in Condado. From there you ride with us. The drive is about an hour and takes us to the heart of Arecibo. Arecibo is one of the cities with the richest historical legacies in all of Puerto Rico. The drive itself is very beautiful, but our first destination is absolutely breathtaking. When we get there we will do a short hike (wear good sneakers) to the mouth of the cave! Keep your cameras handy because the views are out of this world. The cave of the Taino Indian is a small cave system that is a historical and archeological wonderland! This cave is literally covered in Taino stone carvings. It is breathtaking and the scenery even more so! After we exit the cave, we make our way to the 7 arches to take in the amazing views. After another short hike back to the car, we head out to a beautiful beach in Arecibo as well. This tour will give you a taste of the Caribbean lifestyle/history/culture.

This day trip is guaranteed to make your stay in the island unforgettable. This tour has adrenaline and adventure, history and archeology, beautiful scenery and beaches. The drive to Arecibo is About an hour and it is beautiful from start to finish. We arrive and begin our hike to the cave of the Taino. Bring good shoes as the hike is quite rocky. The entrance to the cave is not for claustrophobic people. it is bit challenging but with our careful instructions you will be able to get inside (barring any physical conditions that hinder you). The cave is other worldly. You get transported to the past as you see the over 100 carvings in the stone that are hundreds, maybe thousands, of years old. After we exit the cave we will hike through the famous 7 arches of Arecibo. The arches are natural rock formations which can be appreciated in pictures, but only in person will you realize how beautiful it all really is. Last we visit a non-touristy beach that is amazing!
- Not recommended for people with claustrophobia

Wow! Intense fun! - Sarah was the BEST guide ever. The views were breathtaking! The Taino Cave was awesome, and a challenge. Sarah was a great coach, teacher, cheerleader and safety expert!

Breathtaking adventure + unique storytelling experiences! - The Reserva Natural Cueva del Indio was a breathtaking sight. Beautiful beaches on one side, and a line of naturally made stone arches that amplify the roar of the ocean waves. Also, sea turtles can be seen from a distance.
La Poza del Obispo was a fun swimming where you swim in a naturally made lagoon. The rocks protect you from the rough waves that you can see closely, but for extra fun, the waves splash you with a lot of spray!
If you’re lucky to have Edward Thompson for your tour guide, you’re in luck!
He’s an excellent, funny, storyteller, very knowledgeable in different parts of Puerto Rican life and history. He was very helpful, clear, and firm in his directions for the cave exploring, which made for a unique and safe experience.
Most of all, his passion for his job, the Puerto Rican culture from living here so long, and connecting with people shows and created an entertaining, down to earth experience. He spoke as if you were his friend and he wanted to share his life experiences with you.

This should be a must be... - This should be a must be tour for anyone on the adventurous side. The views alone are spectacular and while some could probably hike this alone I think you will lose out on the most valuable part being the tour guide. We were fortunate enough to have Edward and he was the best tour guide I have experienced. Excellent story teller, extremely knowledgeable and strives to give everything to make it the best trip possible. Edward sent us photos afterward he took with his personal camera. On top of it all, he preps you for all that you will experience on the trip, when we got to the caves I chose not to try and squeeze down the passage but he really motivated the group and guided them safely through and back which I don’t know how others would do without a guide. Restaurant was fantastic and we went to another beach than planned due to some traffic but it worked out nicely. We left meetup spot at 930 am and made it back by 5 pm.

Hiking ,Caves, Beaches and Sea Turtles - Wow! What an amazing tour. I don’t think it would be the same without our guide Edward. He loves what he does and it shows. After the day together our entire group just bonded with him and his loving outgoing nature. He took us to beautiful locations/ beaches and to a local restaurant for a delicious lunch. 100% would recommend and will definately tour with him in the future! ❤️

One day with Edward. - Fantastic day with local guide Edward. Very professional guide, we got to see the purple extra that maybe didn't get the opportunity to see and experience if each bus tour of 50 people. Very well read when it comes to the history of that time and today. Very satisfied and can recommend to everyone.

Spectacular Views - I went on this tour with Sean. He was very knowledgeable! This is the first time I have been on a tour and it definitely did not disappoint. The views at the cave were lovely and the water at the beach was clear and refreshing! We ended the trip with some tasty local food. I’m sure I couldn’t have found all of these locations without this tour. I definitely would recommend it!

One Amazing hike and swim! Don’t miss this one! - Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Sean. We felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely fun and educational. We had an awesome day there, which obviously also added up to the experience.
I truly enjoyed every part of the trip. The scenery was extremely beautiful and it was amazing to experience this scenic environment. I wish I had more courage to go into the cave. Maybe next time. My husband was brave to do it. I would recommend to at least try. The beach was a great way to end the tour. So beautiful and fun.
Sean was an excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Sean to everyone!

Hiking, fantastic views, and a fantastic beach experience! - If you love hiking, fantastic views, archaeological history, and a warm clear water beach you’ll love this tour! However, we had the best guide in Puerto Rico named Sean (Juan III). Sean was welcoming, informative, conscientious, and fun! My wife and I had a blast!! We will be coming back for more tours with Sean!!!
