Amazing! So glad I booked! Went with my husband and 3 children ages 10, 7 and 6. The guide Ivan was awesome and did an excellent job. Learned so much history as well! The kids had a blast. Thank you!
Nathan was very supportive. Helped a lot with any question I had about where to meet, what to expect, etc. Nelson was the perfect guide - very friendly, patient and knowledgeable about the plants along the hike, how to maneuver through the rocks, and of course how to be safe in the water. Highly recommend!!!!
This was the best experience. Our tour guide Brayan was very nice, professional and knowledgeable. He showed us the different plants that are native to PR. Brayan was helpful and went at our pace. He cheered us on and we even got the adrenaline rush of jumping off the rocks and sliding down natural slides. Hands down best experience ever would do it again.
Come prepare and pray that you guys have an exceptional and knowledgeable tour guide like we had. Sabas was great.
AMAZING TOUR! 100% worth the money and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun activity with friends or family. The hike was rocky but not too hard at all, and the tour guides are very helpful in any slippery areas. WE LOVED OUR TOUR GUIDE! Nelson was amazing!!! He taught us about Yunque and was super funny and enjoyable. 10/10 I have no complaints.
Nelson was a great tour guide. The tour was amazing.
Excellent experience. Nate was awesome. The drinks and fresh fruit was a good treat. However, I recommend providing helmets and require all to wear a lifejacket as a safety precaution. Like other tour groups we saw there. Also a first aid kit will be nice for cuts and bruises. Thank you
A great challenge to do with Family. It was hard but fun. Sebas was great and he did stop a few times( a couple more would have been better. ;)
This was our first excursion in PR and I gotta say... Nate, you spoiled us because we had a blast! We kept talking afterwards about how the rest of the experiences we had during our trip did not stack up to the great time you gave us! Nate knows what he's doing and guides with such ease, we felt great support and was able to just have fun during the whole experience at El Yunque. Glad we went in the morning because it did get crowded as the day went on, with other tour groups having like 20~40 people which proved to be quite dangerous as the hikes and slides became a bit more challenging. Not our group though! We had 6 adults and 3 kids total and Nate ensured everyone was careful & safe, while guiding us on exactly where and how to step/climb as we proceeded. His generosity extended to other tour groups as well since the bigger groups seemed to struggle with keeping their guests in line, so Nate helped out when he spotted other tour group guests struggling. He's just an awesome dude trying to ensure everyone is safe! We're already talking about coming back soon, so when that happens, I'll be sure to guide them your way ;) Sending love to you, Camilla & Eduardo!
Had a great time with tour guide Adriana. We were looking for a real hike and were not disappointed. Enjoyed natural slides, rope swings, and cliff jumps.
