An exciting day - Fully recommended. We went to the Anvil and Yatzel gave us a lot of tips to make it safe for us to go down the blasts. It is very friendly, and we learned a lot about Puerto Rico culture. With him we feel like family. A wonderful day

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Honestly, this was one of the best days I’ve had in Puerto Rico. The hike was gorgeous, the waterslide was so much fun, and swimming under the waterfall felt like something out of a movie. Our guides were awesome, very professional, super friendly, patient, and made sure everyone was having a good time. We ended the day eating delicious local food and just feeling happy and tired in the best way. If you’re thinking about it… just book it.

Great!! - We had a great time on this hike, despite a little setback at the start: we had the wrong meeting point, but Yatzel kindly came to pick us up. Although we have little experience in hiking, he was able to adapt the pace and ensure the whole visit in French, which we appreciated very much. The weather wasn’t really right, but it didn’t spoil this great experience. Accompanied by her daughter and her adorable dog Loofy, Yatzel gave us a rewarding walk, punctuated by exciting explanations about Puerto Rican culture and cuisine 😋. We recommend this activity without any hesitation!

This is your sign!! Just Book IT!! - I spent days reading through countless reviews, searching for the perfect way to celebrate my 30th birthday in San Juan authentically. When I found Hiking Hangeo Tours on Expedia, I knew this was exactly the experience my partner and I were looking for. We wanted a tour that offered quality, adventure, safety, genuine hospitality, and Yatzel delivered on all fronts. From the very beginning, Yatzel was incredibly organized, sending us detailed instructions and helpful reminders (just in case you didn’t read all the booking details). He was punctual, thorough with safety briefings, and shared so much information about the rainforest and surrounding areas. What impressed me most was how he tailored the experience to match our pace and comfort level. I personally cannot swim, but I felt completely safe putting my trust in Yatzel’s guidance. He knew exactly how to coach me through the adventure while making sure I still enjoyed every moment. The photos we captured were incredible, and the restaurant we visited afterward was hands down the best meal we had during our entire trip with live music and an unforgettable vibe. Yatzel, thank you for making my birthday so special and memorable. We can’t wait to book another adventure with you in the future!!!

All I can say is 10/10 must try again!! - An Unforgettable Rainforest Experience with Yatzel! Our visit to the rainforest in Puerto Rico was nothing short of magical, and that’s all thanks to our incredible tour guide, Yatzel. From start to finish, he was attentive, informative, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best experience possible. My fiancé and I felt so comfortable and welcomed — it was like being shown around by family. Yatzel’s knowledge of the area, the plants, the history, and even the hidden gems made our adventure truly one-of-a-kind. He didn’t just take us on a tour — he gave us a deeper connection to the island. And let’s talk about the food… WOW. Yatzel introduced us to local restaurants with dishes so amazing, we’re still dreaming about them. Places we never would’ve found on our own, serving food that was out of this world. We’re already planning to book the rest of our tours with him. If you’re visiting Puerto Rico, do yourself a favor and ask for Yatzel. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories — and probably a few new favorite meals too!

Fun day, added bonus with the furry life-guard!! - We had an amazing time on the El Yunque Water-slide and Beach Cuisine tour! Our guide Yatzel was fantastic — knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly thoughtful. He made sure everyone was safe, engaged, and having a great time throughout the hike. The rainforest, waterfalls, and natural water-slide were stunning, and the local food at the end was a perfect treat. A special shoutout to Loofy, Yatzel’s sweet dog and our unofficial lifeguard — he kept spirits high and made the tour even more memorable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Puerto Rico!

Amazing Day! - If you're planning to visit Puerto Rico, do not miss the El Yunque Water-slide and Beach Cuisine tour with Hiking Hangéo Tours — it was truly the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Yatzel, made the entire experience exceptional from start to finish. Yatzel is the kind of guide everyone hopes for: incredibly knowledgeable about the island’s rich culture, the lush rainforest, and the natural wonders of El Yunque. He was not only informative but also personable, funny, and deeply passionate about preserving the beauty of the land he calls home. He struck the perfect balance between adventure and safety, always checking in on everyone and making sure we were comfortable and having a great time. The hike itself was a breathtaking journey through vibrant rainforest, with stops at hidden waterfalls and natural water-slides that were both exhilarating and refreshing. To top it off, the local beachside cuisine at the end was authentic and delicious — the perfect way to wrap up a day of adventure. And we can't forget Loofy, Yatzel’s adorable dog and self-appointed lifeguard! Loofy was more than just a cute addition to the tour — he was constantly on the lookout, leading the way, and making sure everyone stayed on track (and upright). He truly brought joy and motivation to the group. This tour was more than just a hike — it was a full-on cultural and nature immersion led by someone who genuinely cares. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Puerto Rico!

Amazing yunque experience - Yatzel was AMAZING, he was knowledgeable about the area. Was patient with us during our experience. He was super sensitive to my wife's bad knee. Gave us advice on what to do while being on the water slide as safety precautions. After the tour, Yatzel gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. I forgot to mention th food spot was to die for! Our lifeguard Loofy was on point, gave us motivation to do the hike. Overall experience was a 10/10.
