A MUST
An experience of a lifetime. Truly unforgettable. Ivan, our guide, funny, well-trained and sure of himself. A true professional. He took photos and videos of us with his sunglasses (do not bring your phones for the hike), picked us up, texted back in the middle of the night (we booked last minute) and dropped us off at home after the experience. This is a must!!!!!! Thank you for everything, Ivan!

Must do
Amazing experience. Ivan was a great guide, gave us good information on the history and importance of the rainforest. Kept us safe through the excursion, as someone that doesn’t swim, he made sure we knew what to expect and reassured us about the safety measures to ensure myself and others that weren’t swimmers wouldn’t drown. He was very friendly and kept checking in on our group to ensure we were having the best experience. When we got to Luquillo Beach, he also gave us great recommendations as to what to do and where to eat.

Yunque experience
Iván was an amazing guide! He made our El Yunque experience truly unforgettable. He spoke both Spanish and English, explained so many interesting things along the way, and brought such great energy to the entire tour.
He made us feel comfortable and motivated us to enjoy every part of the adventure — jumping from the waterfalls, using the rope swings, and even encouraging us to try some of the higher jumps. You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and that positive energy made the whole experience so much more fun and memorable.
We had an incredible time and would 100% recommend Iván to anyone visiting El Yunque. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Absolutely Amazing Experience!!
It was a fantastic adventure with a very helpful guide, Brittany, who kept us safe and made sure we had an absolutely awesome time! It was unforgettable and beautiful. It's a must do if you are in the area, and we are so glad we did not attempt this trip without a guide.
