Great Experience. Shaly... - Great Experience. Shaly was a great guide. Pleasant, energetic, knowledgable. With it being a private tour, we were able to get there early, beat the crowds, and really enjoy the experience. Highly Recommend.

Perfect Family Adventure - This tour exceeded our expectations! Ricky was a thoughtful, courteous and knowledgeable guide. All the other tour guides told us that Ricky is the best and we agree! We took our 7 year old son and this tour was perfect for him. Ricky took time with him to teach about the rainforest. We slid down the waterside, jumped off the ledge and swung on the rope swim. This was our favorite activity of our vacation!

Highlight of our visit to Puerto Rico - The highlight of our visit to Puerto Rico! Andrea, our guide, was outstanding. She set the tone for the day with her upbeat attitude and positive energy. Her knowledge of all things rainforest was quite impressive. Along our hike, she explained things clearly (watch out for pica-pica) and literally provided step-by-step directions on how to move safely through the river and over the various boulders. She was also a great photographer and cheerleader during water activities. And to top it all off, she took us to a wonderful place for lunch afterwards: Edelweiss in Luquillo, where we had the favorite meal of our entire visit to Puerto Rico. It was a great day, and we can't recommend Andrea highly enough!

Yunque Hiking and Swimming Adventure - Mitchell was the best guide so far and we’ve done this tour before. He was extremely knowledgeable, tailored the hike to our interest, and made it fun. He also took us to eat the best lobster on the island! My son said, this was the best way to greet the New Year!! Mil gracias, Mitchell.

A super cool rainforest adventure - Our trip was excellent! Our guide Andrea was so friendly and knowledgeable. This was definitely an active adventure and we loved it! So did our kids! It was so nice going with a small private group. We were able to jump, swing and slide into the cool rain forest pools as much as we liked. Great experience, amazing guide, highly recommend this tour!

AMAZING Private Tour of El Yunque - This was the BEST and most incredible experience for touring the El Yunque rainforest! Our tour guide Shaly was amazing!! She had such great energy and enthusiasm in addition to her knowledge of the rainforest and area. Her communication with us prior to picking us up from the cruise port was so great and made things so easy. We were traveling with our 3 children (ages 11, 15, and 17), and she was so personable and friendly on the way to and from and throughout the tour. Shaly made our hike so much fun, safe, and knew all the best places for taking pictures!! She even took the pics and videos for us so we could take it all in and enjoy the experience. Our kids loved it all, especially the water slide and rock jumping! Afterwards, she took us to a great spot to experience delicious and authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, another big highlight for us! HIGHLY recommend this private tour and our wonderful guide!!!
