Highlights
  • El Yunque National Forest - This outside portion of the El Yunque rain forest is less crowded, and the best kept secret of Puerto Rico. A short hike will take you through tropical rainforest and scaling rocks thats perfect for moderate physical fitness levels. Along the way, the waterfall wraps over the rocks forming a winding river with natural slides that finishes into a collected natural pool. Here you will find a swing to jump into different areas of the pool or a giant rock that points towards the center of the pool ideal for diving.

The tour is not an intense hiking trip where you hike through dense foliage of the rainforest. It’s perfect for those who want moderate activity, who like to swim or dive into a natural pool, take photos by the waterfalls, and enjoy music and people watching. Imagine a pool day with a rainforest environment.

  • Playa Luquillo - After you enjoy the rainforest, river and waterfall, we’re sure you will be hungry. The final stop is a roadside strip of bars and restaurants with ocean views where you can taste local Puerto Rican food and drinks.
What's Included
  • Complimentary bottled water
  • Comfortable in-vehicle air conditioning

Favorite Day of the Vacation! - The Private Waterfall & Beach trip was voted the best day of our vacation by our teen boys (and definitely in the top 5 memories for adults!). As a group of 4 adults and 2 teen boys, the private pick up and tour guide was perfect! Larry knew every step we needed to take, the perfect spot for photos, and the best lunch recommendation. The day was filled with adventure, beauty & relaxation. We even talked about doing during our next trip to Puerto Rico.

Bumpy Butt - Larry was amazing!!! Rocks are super slippery walking when it rains. 6/7 took a bit of a tumble! Water was so refreshing. The natural rock formations created great slides. They’re little intimidating and not as bumpy as they look. Great attraction, highly recommend! Larry spent most of the time taking pictures and played music the whole time!

Great time! - We had a great time visiting and playing in the waterfall. Larry was prompt and was a safe driver. He got a cake for our friend for his birthday and took lots of pictures for us. He made sure we were safe climbing the rocks. We had so much fun! I would definitely recommend this trip!

Super fun! - Definitely thought that there was a hike involved— but was actually super fun surprise. Larry took us to a great natural water slide and a little hidden lagoon area where you can jump off a rock into the water! Super fun! Make sure you bring some water shoes for the slippery rocks!

Too pricey, too short - The waterfall was great. Unfortunately, it was our only stop. We were expecting a few more hours of hiking or general sightseeing.
