Great excursion! - Our guide, Isaac, was amazing. I was worried that it would be too strenuous for me, but it wasn’t. It was a beautiful day. If you’re going swimming, bring aqua shoes.

The Perfect Rainforest Tour - This tour was worth the money. Our tour guide, Issac, was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable about everything we did. The tour was long enough to take in the El Yunque rainforest, but not so long as it got tiring. The breathtaking scenes, the nature walk, and the stop to swim were perfectly timed stops. The stop for lunch was the perfect way to end the tour with authentic Puerto Rican food.

Beautiful Rainforest, majestic views - We had a short hike through the majestic Yunque, incredibly beautiful place. Our guide Isaac was very friendly and explained the different species of plants and bugs around. The place where we stopped is for lunch has delicious local food.

Thorough and well thought-out experience ! - This tour was very thorough, informational, and manageable for any and everyone. There wasn’t any strenuous trekking. Louie knew a lot about the tour and was kind and knew a lot about the island. He was kind enough to take all of us to our destinations. The first stop was a to the river and we had the chance to change before and after so I highly recommend you being a dry set of clothes so you don’t have to spend the rest of the tour drying off. The price was so reasonable for the experience, highly recommend !

This was a really great... - This was a really great and well-rounded tour from start to finish! Our guide Isaac called to let us know when he arrived at the pickup point, and he gave really great history and facts throughout the van ride there as well as at the tower and through the rainforest. The hike wasn't too difficult, either, and you get to see really great views of the nature and wildlife at eye level and at a vantage point from the different places he took us, as well as time to swim in a beautiful natural pool in the forest and food from a great Puerto Rican place to end the tour. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing tour, strollers are doable but hard - While they are one of the few places who allow strollers, I know understand why! The trails are hard and going to the creek was also a challenge. Besides that the tour was amazing, Isaac was helpful and friendly and we really enjoyed!

YO NO SABO - I booked my tour last minute. My other friends already had tickets. Easy booking check out. Within a few minutes i was texted my pick up point. There was discrepancies between my friends email vs what i got texted. So we opted to just all meet at the location i was texted. The tour guide was a little frustrated that he was at the caribe waiting but we were at la concha waiting (per text). He called twice asking where we were. We got in the buss pick up one other group. It was a really quick trip into the forest. About 30 minutes from SJ. This was pretty neat since i get really bad motion sickness on buses. In our way. Our tour guide gave us a lot of history about different artifacts architecture and cultural influences throughout all the cities we passed up to el Yunque. He even pointed out different types of trees, landscaping and animals. We arrive at a watch tower called yokahu 30 mins. Very beautiful scenery. Very small gift shop. Then we took a hike. Not going to lie. This was a little strenuous. But i think tour guide just walks fast. After that we took a 15 min drive to our next spot. It was a river you can bathe. Recommend bring water shoes. Bug spray not needed. No mosquitos. We only had 30 minutes to swim in the river which was kinda disappointing. We were under the impression we would be there 2 hours based off what the tour description said. None the less that river mamaeyes was my favorite part of my whole trip. The waters was more peaceful than some of the beaches i explored. The water falls are super beautiful. Lastly we went to a frutería spot. It was over rated and messssyyy. Food wasn’t even all that. I had a açai, juice, smoothie. I think this tour is more for the oldies.
