El Yunque With George & Luis - George was an amazing tour guide. He made me feel super comfortable in the water because I was a non swimmer. He has an amazing personality and you can tell he loves his job. He made the tour so much fun with his jokes and provided so much information on the history of Puerto Rico and El Yunque. Luis, the bus driver, was also very helpful navigating us safely on the road and through the forest. I highly recommend doing this tour, it was truly an unforgettable experience.

Yunque Forest Tour Guide - Our tour guide Luis, was so pleasant, funny and knowledgeable about the Island and the Yunque Rain Forest. He made our drive so much more enjoyable that we lost track of the travel time. He is a great asset to the Tourism Industry.

10/10 Highly recommend! - Everything was perfect and such a highlight. We are avid hikers and we were worried that a big group would slow us down or take away from the experience. On the contrary- there were plenty of guides so the fast people could go fast and the people who wanted to take their time had someone with them too. We used our time efficiently and the guides worry about the safety so we didn't have to. Pro tip is really need stable water shoes (think like keens) not crocs or sandals. Also bring one of those around the neck protectors for your phone if you want to bring it - otherwise the guides take photos and send to you later. They want to keep you safe by having hands/back free at all times. My daughter has an epipen that they carried for me in their dry bag.

Do it! It's worth it. - We were so happy to get this tour, as it was last minute and all were sold out. Our tour guides were very entertaining and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the hike through the Yunque forest, climbing rocks and jumping into the river. Just be warned that your shoes will get muddy!

Best part of our trip - This was my favorite part of our trip. Our guides treated us like family, they were very informative, made sure we were safe, and also made sure we had a good time. We went through 2 rock water slides, jumped off a 15ish foot cliff, and jumped off a rope swing. Really appreciated the transportation as well.

Hike? No Rock climbing! - This tour was not a hike. It was rock climbing, very very slippery and wet. I don’t mind wet but slippery on rocks is not my cup of tea. This was not an average hike. It was pretty advanced I am fit, but I decided not to take it vantage of my luck. I was sitting at the pool first pool, waiting for the rest of the group as they went up higher to the two other pools and slides, a lady was sitting next to me with a twisted ankle, and she had just come up on the first part and waiting three hours for the emergency to come up for her. When the emergency came up, I took a People to walk her out she had to go on a metal stretcher. It was quite an ordeal. The place I went, was a remote location and you guys need to be a little bit more explicit as to the dangers and the complexity of the hike or mountain climbing, other than that it was absolutely beautiful. Even though I didn’t go up on the top, I was quite amazed at the scenery and the waterfall. I would recommend this for any brand that is fit and not overweight. This is not an outing for anyone that has any type of asthma or not in shape.

Crowded and difficult terrain. - The guide was absolutely wonderful. But the trail was muddy and very slick. The first pool was crowded. There were many tours there. The falls were a very difficult climb up higher. You actually had to be pulled up by a rope. Falls were ok. One jump and one slide on the rocks and you has to move on. If you like crowds this would be more your cup of tea.

Not worth it- almost fraud. - Walking through mud and climbing on rocks and roots. We DID NOT enter the National Park, there was no park entrance fee paid. We went on private land along a stream to a watering hole that was quite popular. They had rock slides and jumping off of boulders and a rope swing. We saw nothing of the national park.
