The schedule will be from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm or from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Both schedules have been strategically chosen to beat the crowds created by the large groups of other companies to make it more comfortable and safer for you.
Upon arrival, your certified guide will lead you into one of the most beautiful hidden areas near El Yunque National Forest. You’ll begin with a scenic hike through lush rainforest trails, surrounded by vibrant greenery and tropical sounds. The hike is approximately 1.5 miles total and takes about 20 minutes to reach the first natural pool. From there, the adventure continues as you carefully navigate along rocks for about 15 more minutes to reach the main highlight, a natural waterslide tucked deep within the jungle. Once inside, you’ll spend around 2 hours fully immersed in the experience: -Swim in refreshing natural pools -Swing from a rope like Tarzan -Slide down a natural rock waterslide -Cool off under a small waterfall -Optional cliff jumps at different heights All activities are optional, you move at your own pace and comfort level.
Once the experience is over each member of the group will be taken back to their accommodation or meeting point.

We had an amazing experience on the El Yunque Rainforest Tour with waterslides, cliff jumping, and the rope swing! Amel was an excellent guide. He very knowledgeable, informative, and safety-conscious throughout the entire trip. He took the time to explain the history and ecology of the rainforest while making sure everyone felt comfortable and prepared for each activity. The natural waterslide, cliff jump, and rope swing were all incredible experiences. I’ll never forget the rush of sliding down the smooth rock into the cool, clear pool below. Standing at the edge of the cliff jump, heart pounding, and then taking the leap into the refreshing water was unforgettable. Amel’s careful guidance helped make the adventure both fun and safe. He was patient, professional, and made sure everyone in the group had a great time. I highly recommend this tour and especially Amel as a guide.
Arnel was great. He’s super cute and super hospitable. I loved this tour!
Arnel was an outstanding host!
