Must Do!!!
Our tour guide Gillian was amazing!!! She guided us every step of the way and encouraged us to challenge ourselves. My 2 teenage kids enjoyed the waterside, cliff jumping and swing. The hike is super cool, navigating over rocks and tree roots with a picturesque background. If you are in the area I highly recommend doing this tour!!

Great adventure, difficult hike
A very difficult hike at times, but absolutely stunning views and a great adventure. If you choose the option to drive yourself, make sure to bring $5 cash. Our guide Fábian (I'm terrible with names, forgive me if I'm wrong! Long hair and didn't wear shoes) was super encouraging and even made me a leaf crown. We also had the privilege of hiking with three dogs, one being a five month old puppy. They were a great addition!

Great time in El Yunque!
We had a great time today on our hike in El Yunque! Our guide, Gillian, was so friendly and knowledgeable about the rain forest and the history of the island and her people. We would definitely book again!

We drove to the excursion...
We drove to the excursion ourselves, and that alone was an experience. The hike was beautiful and challenging, but not so much we felt that we were in danger. Fabian was patient and kind. My girls, 11 and 15, had the time of their lives jumping off the cliffs and rope swing. Best day of our trip so far.
