Great guide - Eli was an excellent guide and we loved visiting the rain forest. We saw some unique plants, small creatures, water features, and buildings. The lunch spot was quite tasty as well. The only thing not our preference was there was much less walking than we expected. We hoped for minimum two miles through the forest and maybe walked a quarter mile total.

Rain Forest and Beach Excursion - This was a ship excursion we did through Royal Caribbean. It was a 5-hour tour that included a hike through the Rain Forest with a trip to the beach afterwards. Eli, our tour guide was great. He was very informative and entertaining.

Great large group experience - We brought a group of 100 Highschool students and chaperones to Puerto Rico. Alejandro at RST worked with us to curate a plan for our large group. We were able to experience the beauty of the rainforest and Luquillo beach and its kiosks. Our drivers and tour guides were wonderful. Highly recommend working with RST.

Wonderful experience! - This tour was perfect for us. Our driver/ tour guide drove us through part of the Rainforest and we stopped at the observation tower and climbed to the top to see spectacular views. Then we went to a beautiful waterfall and took pics. Next we went to the visitor’s center. Then on to a hike in the rainforest and a visit to the river where we were allowed to swim, jump off ledges into the river and swing on a rope and jump into the river. Our guide was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We got to know some very nice people. It was a very good tour.

El Yunque Park - We booked a Rainforest Tour during our stay in Old San Juan and had Raphael as our driver/tourguide. We have been on many tours and excursions but this one was exceptional. I think Raphael may have been the best guide we have ever encountered. He was friendly, considerate and knowledgeble, we enjoyed him considerably.

Total disappointment - Booked the El Yunque rainforest tour through Virgin Cruises; Rico Sun Tours was the operator of the shore excursion. We spent most of the day (5 hours) either on the tour bus or at the park concession stand (1 1/2 hours). Did not have an opportunity to do any hiking in the rainforest or go swimming, as promised. Total disappointment and waste of time. Recommend finding another tour operator.

Disappointed - Book the tour a few months before and the day before the tour was cancelled because there were not enough people on the tour. I did not visit the Anvil for selecting this type of excursion. If the reservation requires a minimum of people, it is not worth risking.
