This was such an amazing experience me and my husband had so much fun and would definitely go again. Xiani was our tour guide she was super fun and helpful she also explained lots about the history and the nature. El yunque is truly incredible and so very beautiful.
Jesús (chucky) was amazing! He made me and my family feel so safe. He was knowledgeable and very funny. Thank you!!!! - From your familia
Nei is the Best guide,she is very friendly and very cute to😂
So awesome and Xiani was amazing at guiding us through the forest making sure we were safe and explaining things about the forest along the way! Definitely don’t go if you can’t navigate climbing rocks by sticking low to the ground, but there are guides that are helping you when u get to the waterslide and rope swing/cliff jump area. Make sure to really secure your glasses if you wear them when jumping off the cliff! There is usually a zipper pouch in your life jacket, just make sure there’s not a hole in there and if u put ur glasses there they should be secure!
MUST READ BEFORE BOOKING: Your guide will define your experience at the end of the trip. Therefore, I would like to shout out Jesus (Chuky) for being a wonderful guide. For the entire trip, Jesus called us family and he meant it. He cared about our safety, and was present at difficult sites to lay a hand. He was patient and personal. He is truly a gem. Choose him as a guide if you could.
Hope you get Orlando for your guide. Incredible. Be ready to put some work in climbing up and be prepared for the reward of jumping/sliding into the coolest water.
Jesus (chuky) was extremely helpful and I would love to book with him again.
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad Chuky was helpful and made your experience enjoyable. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure with him!
We had the best time. Nai was so patient with our large group and helped us immensely with the hike and climb. We had 5 kids from 9-14 and they all had an absolute blast (as did the adults!). Highlights were the waterfall slide and cliff jumps. Highly recommend this tour!
Jeremy was an awesome tour guide. Giving us the history of the trees and plants of El Yunque Rain Forest! He provided good laughs, took care of his group e during we had a good time with encouragement to go outside our comfort zones!!
Our tour guide Luismi was very nice and helpful. I really enjoyed his talk and guide. I can I had one my best experience since i was in a solo trip I was scared at the beginning but everything was great.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad Luismi made you feel comfortable and supported, especially while traveling solo. It’s amazing to hear this became one of your best experiences!
