We had the best time with Ivan our guide! The experience was the best excursion we have done to date! So fun and highly recommend!
Our group of 9 absolutely loved our Rainforest Adventure with our tour guide, Ivan. Ivan was amazing, experienced and provided a memorable day. It was one of the highlights of our week in Puerto Rico. Thank you again to Ivan and the Tour operator for a fantastic 1/2 day in the rainforest.
Ivan was the best we not only learned about the fauna the adventure was INCREDIBLE! I highly suggest this tour you will not be disappointed ✨️
Brittany was a fantastic guide! I took my two teenage boys and they had a blast on the rope swing and waterfall slide! Highly recommend the tour - it's a great experience. Come prepared to get your feet wet. Rope swing and waterfall slide are optional - but if you go you will get completely wet. All you need to wear is a swimsuit with athletic wear overtop; don't bring anything else with except maybe 1 phone per group and water. Brittany kept everyone's car keys in her vehicle and she took video of everyone going down the waterfall slide and the rope swing - which was super helpful! She even provided a little snack at the end.
Ivan was awesome and the entire hike was beautiful! We had a great time and would recommend to anyone who wants to experience the rainforest in a different way!
Absolutely loved this tour! El Yunque was beautiful, the waterfalls were amazing and our tour guide Ivan was great! He was very friendly & attentive, as well as knowledgeable about the rainforest. He definitely made the whole experience very enjoyable!
Amazing experience and would only do it with Ivan! He made the experience very fun and enjoyable! Would absolutely do this again and highly recommend anyone to do so!
Ivan was such an awesome guide and stopped at so many plants on the hike up to talk about their practical uses/cultural history! He was super personable and added a lot to our experience
My family and I had a wonderful time. Our guide Migael was a great and definitely challenged us with the hike. The photos and videos were spot on. The waterfalls, cliff jumping and slides were in and of itself was 100% worth it.
Me and my friends had a great experience! Ivan did a great job on educating us on the land and also keeping us safe. I one hundred percent recommend
