Great tour - Malcolm was excellent. Got us to the water slides in between large groups so we could enjoy them. Also, very consider of the path conditions making sure we all stayed safe on muddy and water rocks.

Great small group excursion. - Malcolm was a great tour guide! He worked with our cruise ship port schedule and made sure we had time to explore both the rainforest and Luquillo. He is very knowledgeable and gave us a great deal of information along the tour. Los kioskos are fun; try all the food! Our group was six people and Malcolm communicated clearly and effectively. Highly recommend this tour!

So much fun - I read reviews about Malcom but I needed to experience it for myself. Everything that everyone said is the truth. Malcom is an awesome tour guide. He help me to maneuver through the hikes, I’m not a swimmer but I did everything that everyone one else did. I climbed the rocks and i am 64 the only thing that I didn’t do is the water slide and jump. I was still able to get in the water and take pictures of the family jumping. Off the cliffs and slides. I was right there with them and Malcom was everything. Give that man a raise. He gave us some delicious Mango. Thank you sooo much when I come back I’ll see you again 😘

Malcolm was absolutely... - Malcolm was absolutely wonderful. He communicated with us prior to the excursion and answered my questions. He was also super helpful walking to the waterfalls on the slippery rocks. He gave us information for safety and was helpful to others around us. There is a small hike to the waterfalls that is rocky and a little slippery and has a moderate decline to get to the water. The water was refreshing. The rocks are very slippery to get to the waterslides, make sure you bring a pair of socks, that worked much better then bare feet, sneakers or water shoes. The beach was beautiful, and there was food options avaialble. Great experience and very thankful for Malcolm.

Awesome experience - Malcolm was awesome! Communication prior to the experience was great. He met us right on time, was very warm and welcoming. When we got to the rain forest, he was very patient and helpful as we navigated around the area. He also provided some very delicious recommendations at the beach. I would highly recommend Malcolm.

Very disappointed with my limited part of the tour - I am 56 years and about 166 lbs. I am in ok shape. But Malcom made me feel old and decrepit. He allowed my younger friend to participate in the natural water slide and jumping off rocks.. But he wouldn’t even discuss with me to be part of the tour. I signed up for the tour. I wanted to do the full tour.
He did lead me down a hill, but I didn’t request it. I thought it was kindness, but because I excepted the help. Did he think I was incapable? No where on the tour description did it say extremely dangerous and need to be in perfect health.
I am still very disappointed. This was a total waste of time.

No a tour - Very nice guy but the word: “ tour” is a reach.
We met him and he took us 5 minutes of the road to the river. The “ tour” was only he showing us a banana tree ( we are hispanic) then we took photos on the river, back to the road, then we got in our car and follow him for a few minutes where the beach was, he pointed where we should eat and then left.
