True Rainforest experience - Local guide with extensive knowledge of area and park. He pointed out some little critters like snails and frogs plus interesting plants and trees. Not a strenuous hike if you are in reasonable shape (I need to get to the gym, ha ha). Of course we had a downpour (this is common) so plan accordingly. Weather was mild so I didn’t mind. We took a short dip in the water near the end. Kind of a strange spot but I was happy to refresh before my flight home. While lunch was not included, we stopped at a hut on the way back to town and sampled just about all the meats, rice and a deep fried tasty thing. Pretty reasonable! Small snafu with the booking but it all worked out (it was an error on Viators side which I alerted the company to.)

Rainforest river - My wife and I really enjoyed our half day experience with the very pleasant Diana as our guide. Keep in mind that the trip to El Yunque takes 90 minutes. We really appreciated that Diana picked us up from our Condado hotel but because she had already picked up people from Old San Juan, she also dropped them off first before returning to Condado. Diana provided lots of interesting information on the way. We stopped at the tower and the waterfall but the highlight for us was the optional opportunity to jump and swing into the river. Take a phone/camera if you want pictures of this experience

Incredible Experience in El Yunque with Outgoing Tour Guides - We had a phenomenal time with Jose Enrique and Diana as our tour guides. Pick up and drop off were prompt and they gave us a heads up when they were on their way. Both tour guides were incredibly outgoing and you could tell they felt passionate about the work they do. The drive went quick as both tour guides told us about Puerto Rico history and culture. El Yunque observatory tower, hike, waterfall, and swimming hole spoke for themselves- a truly incredible experience, with the tour guides providing knowledge along the way.

Best way to see El Yunque... - Best way to see El Yunque and not have to drive yourself. They can pick you up from 9 different hotels around San Juan. We get a bit of history of Puerto Rico and El Yunque. The guide was informative about the local wild life and plant life within the rainforest. The hike was very short and the trail was packed down and easy to traverse. The swimming afterwards was definitely worth it. The water is a little cold but you get used to it very quickly. Definitely bring water shoes and a towel. The ride to and from was good but a bit bumpy (sounds normal for Puerto Rico.)

Best Experience!! - I was short on time since I was visiting for the weekend for the BB concert. I was looking for an experience at El Yunque right before the concert later on in the day and boy did I get an amazing experience! Diana was a 20/10! El Yunque was a 20/10. Deff want to go back on my next trip and do a longer excursion. It rained, it poured, sun was out, it was humid, not too hot (thanks to the refreshing rain), it was foggy, clear. I lived, I learned, and experienced El Yunque. Very organized & not to mention very informative!

The experience and stops were underwhelming. There was silence on our ride back to the hotel/ tour guide did not speak.
