The perfect excursion

This definitely was a highlight of our visit to Puerto Rico .treated very special throughout the day. Provided fresh fruit and organic snacks , which I was thrilled about. The jungle is fascinating and the water was crisp..it is a relatively easy hike. I'm 70 and my husband is 75 and we were able to do it easily. There is an opportunity to do a harder hike and slide down a waterfall. I opted not to do this, but my family thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend

We had a great time with our guides Jean and Amauri. They gave us some fun facts along the hike to the water, and gave us tips to make it easier to cling to the slides and jumps. We had a great time with them!

From pick up to drop off, everything was Land and seamless. All the times at each staff were perfect. All the safety equipment was provided, and they went above and beyond together to our companies that we noticed out there. Jamilex and Amauri were very fun and knowledgeable guides. Definitely recommend for families.
