Combinatie van regenwoudwandeling en strand van Luquillo
Beschrijving
Onze gids zal je ontmoeten op de ophaallocatie, op de eerder afgesproken ophaaltijd (bel ons voor bevestiging). We gaan dan ongeveer 45 minuten naar het oosten naar El Yunque. Tijdens de rit kan live commentaar en interpretatie van uw omgeving, evenals informatie over ons Puerto Ricaanse erfgoed, zowel in het Engels als in het Spaans worden gegeven. We zullen La Coca Falls en Yokahu Tower zien zodra we in het regenwoud zijn. Vervolgens wandel je ongeveer 20 minuten door de flora tot je de rivierstroom bereikt via een natuurwandelpad (let op gladde, oneffen grond). Vergeet niet je handdoek en zwemkleding mee te nemen! (Zwemmen is afhankelijk van het weer.) Na het regenwoud stappen we weer in de bus en reizen naar Luquillo Beach en Kiosks, waar we twee uur blijven zodat je kunt eten of ontspannen op het strand voordat je terugkeert. Ten slotte sluiten we de dag af door gasten terug te brengen naar hun oorspronkelijke ophaallocatie.

Reisroute
Na al dat slepen in de Rainforest River, is het tijd om te ontspannen, te luieren en naar hartelust te eten bij de Luquillo Kiosks and Beach. Je hebt ook de tijd om te ontspannen op het prachtige strand van Luquillo en te genieten van de hartige lokale gerechten die de kiosken bieden... Veel plezier!
Deze 69 meter hoge toren werd begin jaren zestig gebouwd door Dr. Frank H. Wadsworth (voormalig Forest Supervisor en directeur van IITF). Vanaf de Yokahú-toren kunnen vier soorten bos worden bekeken: Colorado (glad naar het zuiden), Tabonuco (onregelmatige omgeving met witbladige Yagrumos), Palm (op de steile hellingen) en Cloud Forest (op de bergkammen) zijn allemaal zichtbaar langs met de kustlijn en helemaal tot aan de Maagdeneilanden op een heldere dag (10 mijl + uitzicht). Het dichte oude bos van het Baño de Oro Research Natural Area in de bovenste Mameyes-vallei in het oosten kan ook worden bekeken.
Dit korte pad daalt af door Tabonuco-bomen in het lager gelegen bergbos naar de federaal aangewezen "Wild and Scenic River", de Río Mameyes. Naarmate je dichterbij komt, trekt het gebrul van de ruisende rivier je verder naar Las Damas Pool en andere favoriete zwemplekken. Dit is een leuk parcours voor gezinnen met jongere kinderen en schoolgroepen. Dit pad heeft veel overstromingen en schade opgelopen na orkaan Maria. De vervanging van de voetgangersbrug werd gedeeltelijk gefinancierd door donaties van de National Forest Foundation (NFF) die samenwerkte met het nabijgelegen Wyndham Rio Mar Grand Resort en hun gasten.

This excursion was exactly what my mom, who is in her 60s, and I were looking for. The walking is minimal and not too difficult. We got to see a lot but it didn’t feel overwhelming or too much. Our guide, Josh, was super helpful and informative. You can tell he really likes his job and people. Love that we had a small group of only 6 people, so our tour felt almost private. There were no hiccups or issues with anything; bus was on time for pickup and the tour followed the itinerary. 10/10!
People, do yourself a favor and do not book with this company! There are plenty of more friendly, reliable and customer-oriented companies in San Juan. First, we booked for December 2, 2025 and they canceled because they didn't have the minimum number of tourists. We agreed to reschedule to the next day, 12/03/25. They called in the morning to confirm the pick up and told us to be at Ocean Club at 8:55. When nobody showed up at 9:05, we started calling the company to inquire where the driver was, all nervous that we won't make it on time for the tour. Several minutes later, the owner called us back and said we couldn't be on the tour because "we yelled at the driver". He basically cursed us and canceled again. Just choose a different provider to avoid the disappointment on your vacation!
Thank you for sharing your perspective. We would like to clarify the sequence of events for accuracy. Your tour on December 2 was rescheduled at your own request after you agreed to move to the following day. On December 3, our driver called you for two simple reasons: To share his direct number for coordination. To inform you he would be approximately 10 minutes delayed. During this call, you raised your voice at the driver in a manner that violated our conduct standards. Our drivers and guides are trained professionals, and verbal aggression toward staff is not tolerated under any circumstances. Although your pickup location was outside our normal service area, we still arranged it as a courtesy since you had been rebooked. Unfortunately, your behavior during the phone call left us no option but to refuse service, as we prioritize the safety and well-being of both guests and staff. We are committed to providing respectful, safe, and enjoyable experiences. When a guest’s behavior breaches our conduct policy, we reserve the right to deny participation for the protection of our team and other guest. We wish you well in your future travels.
Rafael was a great guide, super nice! You don’t really spend much time in the rainforest, just a very quick walk through and like 30 mins at a river which was a bummer if you were looking for a little bit of a hiking experience. Lots of time on the bus. Luquillo beach was beautiful and fun though! Best part
Our guide was Litza and Ingrid the driver were the best. You will not be disappointed, very informative.
First time in Puerto Rico. I enjoy the rainforest. It rain on us but that a rainforest. The beach was crystal clear water. The hike wasn't that bad. It was incredible
Ashley and Raphael were a fantastic pair -informative and were very humorous. We loved the experience and would highly recommend!!
Andrea and Jerry were the best. Andrea was so knowledgeable about her country. She was so nice and friendly. She was so energetic and just wonderful to be around. You can tell she is passionate about what she’s doing. This was an amazing experience.
Great tour guide... Luis is the best... we had such a great time and a quick dip in the river was on for the books!
Overall, a nice excursion. We were lucky and were one of the last picked up at our hotel, so we didn't spend a lot of time picking up other travelers. That being said, we wasted time at a fruit stand waiting to meet up with other groups for the tour. Didn't realize we were heading to the fruit stand first and I had already eaten thus I had nothing to do there. The rainforest walk was an easy hike over a rock covered path. The swimming area was fun with the cliff jump and rope swing. Our tour guide of the rainforest gave some interesting information but it was a fairly short walk. Beach and restaurant area afterwards was nice. We had a great lunch at kiosk #1. Beach was basic, no umbrellas or chairs to rent and not enough time to actually spend at the beach.
The tour guide was nice, but there wasn’t much “Live-commentary and interpretations about the Ecosystem”. I really enjoyed the river swim, that was a lot of fun. I was expecting more nature like birds and animals of some kind. The walk was very short and there were lots of people at the river. The beach was pretty, but I wish we would’ve gone there first and then rinsed off in the river. Overall though the day was fun.
