Fun Adventure
Had such a great time on this hike. Our tour guide, Sebas, was wonderful. He had a lot of knowledge of the rainforest and sagelt guided us through the activities. The fruit was a nice added touch. Would definitely recommend!

El Yunque Rainforest
I el had such a great experience with Tristian on our tour! He was right on time for pickup, super chill, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire trip. He made the whole experience feel fun and relaxed while making sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. One of my favorite touches was the fresh fruit he served us at the end of the tour—it was the perfect way to finish the adventure!

A must try!
Wow wow wow!! Super cool experience. Sebastian was super sweet and very knowledgeable! He took the time to make us feel welcomed and was able to explain any questions we had. Going through El Yunque he explained some of the history and the flora and fauna found in the area. Then the waterfalls and natural slides were amazing! Super cool definitely will come back and book again! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

A Must Do When Visiting SJU
My daughter and I had a great time visiting the rainforest. Our tour guide Sebastian was excellent! He was punctual picking us up, very knowledgeable and explained things about the history of the rainforest and San Juan on the tour. He also ensured safety for everyone especially a non-swimmer like me lol. Overall, it was a great experience.

Rainforest Adventures, Waterfalls & All the Fun!
Absolutely one of the highlights of my trip to Puerto Rico! If you love hiking AND love the water, this tour is definitely for you! The hike up to the water activities was beautiful, and our tour guide, Francis, was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the rainforest and everything in it, while also making sure everyone was safe and no one was left behind. And let me tell you…the natural waterfall slide and rope swings did NOT disappoint! They were so much fun and the perfect way to cool off on a hot Puerto Rican day! A few must-haves: waterproof hiking shoes and goggles — trust me, you’ll thank me later! I would 100% do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, adventurous, beautiful experience in Puerto Rico! 10/10 adventure — would absolutely do it again!

10/10 would do again!!
This experience was amazing! Definitely be ready to do some cardio. It ends up being worth it for the slides and the views! Francis was an awesome tour guide and made sure to stop and give us some history on the rain forest. The booking process was seamless, and definitely consider the bells and whistles add-on if you’re visiting. The roads up to the rainforest are no joke!
