enjoyed the experience for my first vacation with me and my Husband. Definitely would recommend to everyone! being on the tour with luismi was funny and welcoming, he made everyone as comfortable as possible. they also drop you off at restaurants you can choose from after the activity on the strip of luiquillo beach 🏝️ .
Orlando was the life of the group and made the experience truly unique. Under his guide, everybody followed the safest route and he also helped everybody make it past the tough parts. Joel did an excellent job making sure everybody was safe and took the safest route and made it an assurance that everybody made it back safely without a scratch. Overall I loved the experience and the guides. 10/10
We had an amazing time in the rain forest! I was nervous about the waterfall slides, cliff jumping, and rope jumping, but Orlando and Joel took amazing care of us and helped us feel comfortable with everything. They were informative and FUNNY too. Great experience!
We had the BEST time on the Half-Day Yunque Rainforest Waterslide & Rope Swing Guided Tour with Ashley! Ashley was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We were a family of three—my husband, myself, and our 10-year-old daughter—and she was so patient, sweet, and accommodating to all of us. She was especially wonderful with our daughter, helping her throughout the hike and making sure she felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. The tour itself was SO much fun! We got to hike through the rainforest, experience the waterfalls, go down the natural waterslide, jump off a cliff, and enjoy the rope swing. It was such an exciting and unforgettable experience! Ashley was also very knowledgeable and informative, and her positive energy and personality made the whole experience even better. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. We absolutely loved this tour and would highly recommend Ashley to anyone visiting Puerto Rico! She was such a sweetheart, and we’re so glad we got to experience El Yunque with her! 💚🌿💦🇵🇷
Went to El Yunque with Orlando today, all I can say is that he was the best guide! He was super informational on the way to the river with the history of the rainforest. He had a great personality and guided us safely everywhere, totally would go back with him. 11/10 experience! You go Orlando!
Our guide Orlando was perfect! He led the group with so much knowledge and expertise. He also helped me with climbing up the rocks and hill with greatness!
Xiani was a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the experience great. Wonderful trip overall!
I booked with Spot in tours and ended up with an amazing and energetic guide by the name of Xiani!!! She was very knowledgeable sharing rich history of Puerto Rico and El Yunque! Really enjoyed my time there will book again and if I’m lucky get Xiani again
Xiani was our tour guide and she was excellent. Super knowledgeable and super friendly.
This was a last min add on to our trip. I’ve done el yunque before on a self guided tour but since we were a bigger group I decided on a tour. Hands down the best experience! Anthony and Joel were the best!! Learned so much on this tour even though I’ve been to el yunque so many times!! The hike to location b where there the waterslides can be a bit tough but it was part of the experience! It was a workout and you earned the frituras 😂! We were a group from 11-65. My mom who was 65 choose not to do the water slide but was able to participate in the hike . The guides were Knowledgeable, funny, and so fun!!! I’m Puerto Rican so even if you are familiar with the island and especially if you are not this is the tour! Book it!! If you are lucky Joel might do some flips for you!
