Description
Our tour guide will meet you at the pickup location, at the previously accorded pickup time (call us for confirmation).We'll then go east for around 45 minutes to El Yunque. Throughout the ride, live commentary and interpretation of your surroundings, as well as information on our Puerto Rican heritage, can be provided in both English and Spanish.
We will see La Coca Falls and Yokahu Tower once we get in the Rainforest. Then, for around 20 minutes, you'll walk through the flora till you reach the river stream on a nature walk path (look out for slippery, uneven ground). Remember to bring your towel and swimsuit! (Swimming is dependent on the weather.)
After the rainforest, we'll board the bus again and travel to Luquillo Beach and Kiosks, where we'll stay for two hours so you can eat or relax on the beach before returning.
Finally, we'll wrap up the day by returning guests to their original pick-up location.

Itinerary
Luquillo Beach
Admission included120 min
After all that trailing in the Rainforest River, it will be time to unwind, laze and eat to your heart’s content at the Luquillo Kiosks and Beach. You’ll also have the time to relax on the beautiful beach of Luquillo and enjoy the savory local cuisine the Kiosks offer…
Have a good time!
Torre Yokahu
20 min
This 69 foot tower was built by Dr. Frank H. Wadsworth (former Forest Supervisor and Director of IITF) in the early 1960’s. Four types of the forest can be viewed from Yokahú Tower: Colorado (smooth to the south), Tabonuco (irregular surrounding with white-leaved Yagrumos), Palm (on the steep slopes) and Cloud Forest (on the ridges) are all visible along with the coastline and all the way to the Virgin Islands on a clear day (10 mile + view). The dense old forest of the Baño de Oro Research Natural Area in the upper Mameyes Valley to the east may also be viewed.
El Yunque National Forest
60 min
This short trail descends through Tabonuco trees in the lower montane forest to the federally designated “Wild and Scenic River,” the Río Mameyes. As you get closer, the roar of the rushing river pulls you onward to Las Damas Pool and other favorite swimming spots. This is a nice trail for families with younger children and school groups.
This trail received a lot of flooding and damage after Hurricane Maria. The replacement of the pedestrian bridge was partially funded by donations through the National Forest Foundation (NFF) working with the nearby Wyndham Rio Mar Grand Resort and their guests.

Poor customer service
My family and a friend booked this trip but my friend was not allowed in the bus the day of the activity because they didn’t had her on their booking list even while having the ticket on hand. I called their customer service number and they stated the ticket said “call to confirm” and the ticket was cancelled. The ticket does not say that, the ticket says it was confirmed. Not once did I receive an email regarding this cancellation. Very upsetting, Other than that our tour guy was good and great personally, unfortunately we felt like we were always in a rush to get things done. Had a good time, just wouldn’t recommend this trip.
Operator response
Our reservation system showed that one participant's booking had been canceled prior to the tour date. As a result, that guest was not included on the final passenger manifest provided to our guides. For safety, insurance, and operational reasons, we cannot transport anyone who is not listed on the official manifest, even if they present an outdated confirmation. If you did not receive a cancellation notice, we recommend contacting the booking platform where the reservation was made, as they are responsible for sending booking updates and notifications.
Regarding the pace of the tour, this is a full-day experience operating from approximately 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. During those seven hours, guests visit multiple locations throughout El Yunque. While we understand that some travelers would like to spend more time at certain stops, doing so would require eliminating other locations or returning well after the scheduled end time.
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your guide and appreciate your kind words about them. Our team works hard every day to provide a safe, organized, and enjoyable experience for all our guests.

Exactly What I Was Hoping For
This excursion was exactly what my mom, who is in her 60s, and I were looking for. The walking is minimal and not too difficult. We got to see a lot but it didn’t feel overwhelming or too much. Our guide, Josh, was super helpful and informative. You can tell he really likes his job and people. Love that we had a small group of only 6 people, so our tour felt almost private. There were no hiccups or issues with anything; bus was on time for pickup and the tour followed the itinerary. 10/10!

Do not book with this company!!!
People, do yourself a favor and do not book with this company! There are plenty of more friendly, reliable and customer-oriented companies in San Juan. First, we booked for December 2, 2025 and they canceled because they didn't have the minimum number of tourists. We agreed to reschedule to the next day, 12/03/25. They called in the morning to confirm the pick up and told us to be at Ocean Club at 8:55. When nobody showed up at 9:05, we started calling the company to inquire where the driver was, all nervous that we won't make it on time for the tour. Several minutes later, the owner called us back and said we couldn't be on the tour because "we yelled at the driver". He basically cursed us and canceled again. Just choose a different provider to avoid the disappointment on your vacation!
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your perspective. We would like to clarify the sequence of events for accuracy.
Your tour on December 2 was rescheduled at your own request after you agreed to move to the following day.
On December 3, our driver called you for two simple reasons:
To share his direct number for coordination.
To inform you he would be approximately 10 minutes delayed.
During this call, you raised your voice at the driver in a manner that violated our conduct standards. Our drivers and guides are trained professionals, and verbal aggression toward staff is not tolerated under any circumstances.
Although your pickup location was outside our normal service area, we still arranged it as a courtesy since you had been rebooked. Unfortunately, your behavior during the phone call left us no option but to refuse service, as we prioritize the safety and well-being of both guests and staff.
We are committed to providing respectful, safe, and enjoyable experiences. When a guest’s behavior breaches our conduct policy, we reserve the right to deny participation for the protection of our team and other guest.
We wish you well in your future travels.

Okay experience
Rafael was a great guide, super nice! You don’t really spend much time in the rainforest, just a very quick walk through and like 30 mins at a river which was a bummer if you were looking for a little bit of a hiking experience. Lots of time on the bus. Luquillo beach was beautiful and fun though! Best part
