Had a wonderful day with Jean. He picked us up at the port and gave us a great experience. Went hiking through the rainforest, jumping off of rock formations into the water swinging from ropes. Into the water riding down rock waterslide. It was great having an experienced tour guide, who gave us directions down to specific step on this rock here, and step on that rock there for the safety that is needed. This is the one you want, don’t hesitate book now. Would highly recommend this company and I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Itinerary
Come and visit the only Tropical Rainforest in the U.S Forest System! We will begin this unique tour to the “El Yunque Rainforest”, by picking you up early at your hotel. From there we will embark in a drive through the historic “route 66” until our arrival to “Las tinajas trail”. This is where the adventure begins with a 20 minutes’ walk to our first stop in one of the most pristine water river and waterfall. During our hike, you will have the opportunity to learn about the history of el “ Yunque” linked to the Taino’s, but also explore the unique ecosystem of this forest that is home to multiple endemic species such as the Puertorican parrot. Be aware this a muddy tour, be prepared to get wet and dirty! But more than that be prepared to a real connecting experience with yourself, the nature and the best that Puerto Rico has to offer!

Amazing experience! We had many adventures planned in our week-long trip to Puerto Rico and this was easily the highlight for the entire family. The views were breathtaking and our guide Enrique was a big reason behind our positive experience. He was patient and helpful in getting us through the terrain (youngest kid was 10). We did the 7am slot and I wouldn’t change a thing. Having the river basically to yourself was a unique and serene experience. Halfway through our adventure, Enrique pulled out a bag of fresh local fruit and chopped it up beautifully for us to enjoy. Highly recommend, very family friendly.
Ricky was amazing! We had a small group that worked well together, it was well worth the money. Such a great experience!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 😊🌿 We’re thrilled to hear Ricky made your adventure such a great experience! Having a small group that clicks makes the day even more special, and we’re happy everything came together so well. 🙌🏽💦 Thank you for choosing Tours To Do PR and for trusting us with your Puerto Rico adventure! 🇵🇷❤️ We hope to see you back for another unforgettable experience! #Tourstodopr
This excursion was phenomenal! Because our group was so small and left early in the morning, we missed the large crowds that came flooding in at the end of our trip. Our tour guide Ricky was simply amazing; he was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the rainforest and our safety was our top priority to him. The natural water slide and rope swing were a blast and Ricky provided us delicious fresh fruit at the end of our tour, which was incredibly refreshing. What I really appreciated was the level of communication the night before and morning of our excursion - Ricky and Jean contacted us via text and provided everything single detail we needed to be prepared and meet up for our trip - they made it SO EASY as we weren’t very familiar with the area. This trip was a birthday present for my daughter; we will never forget it. Oh, and don’t worry about bringing a camera - Ricky took FANTASTIC pictures and videos of us along the way. Ricky, you are the best! We’ll definitely come back.
Thank you so much for this incredible review! 🥹🌿 We’re thrilled that Ricky and Jean made everything so easy and stress-free from the very beginning. Ricky will be so happy to know that his knowledge, passion, and focus on safety helped make your daughter’s birthday adventure so unforgettable! 🎂💦🙌🏽 We love that you enjoyed the natural water slide, rope swing, fresh fruit, and all the photos and videos Ricky captured along the way! 📸🍍 Most of all, we’re honored that this became such a special family memory.

Best part of our whole trip!!!!! Enrique was an absolute gem of a human. He communicated amazingly. Was very knowledgeable. My kids loved him and felt totally safe with him. We would 100% book another trip with him. Loved the early meet up and small group. It made the day so amazing. The fresh local fruit at the end was an amazing treat also.

Dani and Adri were absolutely amazing! El Yunque has so much to offer, and the rainforest was honestly breathtaking. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the entire experience fun from start to finish. The tour lasted about four hours, and my group had an incredible time. We got to try crepe ginger, jump off cliffs, slide down a natural water slide, and enjoy some of the sweetest, freshest fruit. The experience honestly reminded me of home. There were kids on the tour as well, and they seemed to have just as much fun as the adults. If you’re considering this excursion, I highly recommend it. Just be sure to bring a change of clothes and extra shoes because you will definitely get wet! My group and I had an absolute blast, and I would book this tour again in a heartbeat. 🌿💚🌊
Thank you so much for this amazing review! 🥹🌿 We’re thrilled that Dani and Adri made your El Yunque adventure so fun, welcoming, and memorable! 💚🌊 From the natural water slide and cliff jumps to the fresh fruit and ginger, it sounds like you truly enjoyed the full experience! 😄💦 We especially love hearing that both the kids and adults had a blast.
