Wear shoes that will grip on wet rocks! Hike is fairly difficult- not for those that aren’t fit. Alana and Danny were incredible guides- made us feel safe and supported throughout and took pictures which was amazing. Our group of 9 was in agreement that this was an incredible experience. Appreciated the use of helmets. Sliding down water falls, rope swing and cliff jumping in the beautiful rainforest- all unforgettable! Appreciated the information about the rainforest history and some of its species. Thank you!!
Our large group, of over 40 people, enjoyed this adventure immensely. They met our tour bus, cared for us throughout the adventure, and helped us go to the following activity, too. They also flexed our schedule due to our challenging schedule for the day. A few things to note- 1) Closed toed shoes means tennis shoes with grip. NOT water shoes that are smooth on the bottom. The rocks are VERY slippery. 2) We laughed about the helmets until we actually realized that they saved us more than once. It is likely that you will hit your head on something at some point. The helmet will save you every time. 3) The climb is physically strenuous and challenging- even if you work out. Do you best to use 3 points of contact at all times. We did best when the guides told us where to step and assisted by holding our hands. 4) The water slides were super fun and cold. Follow their directions exactly and you will be fine. 5) There was an option to jump or swing. We appreciated the fact that we could opt out. 6) The climb back down was more challenging because the guides were assisting those who wanted to jump so the rest of us had to figure out how to climb down and there were some extreme options that were nerve wracking. I suggest staying in groups of 3 to help one another. 7) Snacks and water was provided which was a huge plus. 8) The best part of all? They photos and video they took were GIVEN to us! Leave your phone behind and keep your hands free. Know that you will get incredible pictures afterwards.
Amazing experience with my daughter! Great communication from start to finish, and they picked us up right in front of our Airbnb. The guides were very friendly and helpful throughout the tour. A truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
Had the best experience with our tour guides! They took so many photos, stayed behind with us when we needed a break, understood when we got nervous about the jumps and never made us feel rushed or pressured! Very knowledgeable, I can’t wait to come back!
Wear sneakers and socks you don’t mind getting wet and muddy. Take in the beauty of the rainforest and have fun.
We had an amazing experience with Paradise Seekers on their El Yunque tour with transportation included. From the moment we booked, communication was excellent. They were always responsive, friendly and made sure we had all the information we needed before our tour. Our group was picked up directly from our Airbnb right on time and our driver was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Once we arrived at El Yunque, our tour guide was absolutely 10/10. He was extremely knowledgeable about the rainforest and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. He helped us navigate difficult climbing areas, pointed out spots where we needed to be especially careful to avoid slipping and was always attentive to everyone in the group. What really stood out was how encouraging he was. He helped us build the confidence to do some of the more intimidating cliff jumps and made sure everyone felt supported without ever feeling pressured. He also provided water throughout the hike and ended the tour with snacks, which was a thoughtful touch after such an active adventure. Our driver continued to make the day seamless by taking us to the Luquillo Kiosks after the tour and giving us plenty of time to eat, explore and enjoy the area. He then drove us to another location for a separate UTV excursion we had booked. Even though there were delays with the UTV tour, he was patient, understanding and waited for us without any issues. During the drive back to our Airbnb, he shared interesting information about Puerto Rico, its culture and local history, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The entire team went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day. We highly recommend Paradise Seekers to anyone looking for a fun, safe and well-organized adventure in Puerto Rico. We would absolutely book with them again!
Such an awesome experience! The driver picked us up from the port and made sure we got back with time to spare. I went with my 7 year old daughter and 63 year old mother. They both went on the waterslides and made the jumps. Everyone had a blast and safety was important to the guides. We would definitely book again!
Great trip. It’s well worth the money to have a guide for this visit to El Yunque. Our guides Julio and Riley shared the history of the island, described the fauna and animals while walking to the water. Once there, they knew every walking path and foothold so we could maximize our fun. Highly recommend this tour!
The tour operator is rude when there was a problem you called for. The main tour guide was not very friendly or helpful especially if you do not swim. His accent was strong and hard to understand. Also I picked the tour w/o transport because trip advisor had the option of tour start point as plaza colon, so I automatically assumed that it did not require transport as I was staying near the Plaza. I had messaged them previously regarding this to make sure my pick up was the Plaza and all they said was you will be informed the night before of the time of pick up. On the night of the tour they inform me that plaza colon is not a pick up point and you have to pay an additional $120 for transport from the plaza. Why wasnt this clarified this when I had initially messaged them? I would have booked another tour. Very disappointed.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are truly sorry for the frustration you experienced. Plaza Colón is absolutely a pickup point, however the transportation option must be selected at booking, as you mentioned choosing the tour without transport. We understand how that detail could have felt confusing, and we have worked to further clarify this on TripAdvisor to help avoid future misunderstandings. We are also sorry to hear about your guide communication concerns. For non swimmers, we provide life vests for non swimmers specifically to help guests feel secure and supported throughout this safety focused tour. If you are open to it, we would appreciate the opportunity to provide a better experience with Paradise Seekers Puerto Rico.
Julio was awesome! Loved his island and was proud to be there! He was very knowledgeable about the rainforest, the island, and the ecosystem of Puerto Rico. Riley and Oliver were great as well, very helpful and took pictures/videos for you so you don’t damage your phone! We were brought to the less touristy areas as well so we got more of an experience than other groups I think!
Hi Lauren! We love hearing how much Julio’s passion for the island stood out to you! He truly is a knowledgeable rainforest guide who takes pride in sharing the rainforest ecosystem education behind every trail, sound, and waterfall. It is even better knowing you appreciated exploring off the beaten path areas, away from the crowds, for a more authentic local experience. Riley and Oliver will be so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour photos and videos so you could stay present without worrying about your phone. When you are ready for your next Puerto Rico adventure, reach out and check out more unforgettable experiences with Paradise Seekers Puerto Rico!
