Best Day Ever! - This tour was amazing. When my kids got into the car to leave (boys 15, 11, and 10), the first thing they said was “Nothing is going to top this!” We had the whole tour (five of us) to ourselves. They seem to prefer small groups and that is why I booked with them. We did not run into any crowds or even saw anyone else while we were on our 5 hour excursion. Our two guides, were friendly and informative but also so helpful with us. The boys LOVED the climbing, cliff jumping, swimming and slides. I loved watching all the fun happen in a BEAUTIFUL location with a breathtaking view on top of the waterfalls. You should be in relatively good physical shape for this trip, and bring good climbing shoes for wet surfaces. After the trek we were welcomed back to camp with a wonderful meal that I dare say was the best meal we’ve had on the island. If you have the opportunity or are on the fence, this is a must do!!!

A memorable and beautiful adventure - This was an excellent way to spend the day in the Yunque wilderness. The guides were very patient and knowledgeable. The activities were varied and our group of multiple ages had a great time. Make sure to bring shoes that you can hike in and that you don't mind getting wet. I was glad that I brought water shoes with me. The meal at the end of the adventure was delicious too! A great day and we will definitely be coming back the next time we visit San Juan.

The bees knees ! - Absolutely incredible! This adventure trip surpassed all expectations. From adrenaline-pumping rock jumps to thrilling ziplining and rappelling, every moment pushed me beyond my comfort zone. The stunning natural surroundings and meticulous attention to detail made the experience both safe and exhilarating. Truly an outstanding and exciting adventure! One tip tho, make sure you contact them before the day to get the GPS coordinates of the meeting point, as it doesn't show up on Google Maps or uber without a pin.

The highlight of our trip! - We had an absolute blast on this trip, ages 17 to 57! Enough excitement and adventure for all, sometimes terrifying, but always safe. The guides are super friendly and helpful and safety conscious. We were invited to eat and drink with them after the activity which was a big highlight of our trip. Ricky is an awesome cook and host!

One for the memory books! - My wife and I did the Tour with Luis and it was everything that I hoped for. It will by far be the most memorable thing we did in PR.
It was challenging for my wife, but at the end she said she was glad that she did it. There were a couple of things she chose to skip and Luis was very understanding and always told her what her options were ahead of time so she could choose.
The weather has been wet the last few weeks here and the rocks were very slippery. We did ok with the shoes we were wearing, but if we did it again we'd get some canyoneering shoes that provides better grip on the wet rocks.
All in all it was in incredible day and I'm so glad we did it!

El Yunque Exploration - Montana Explora did a great job taking us to see the amazing sights of El Yunque. I would highly recommend this professional guide. The guys (Luis, Jonathan, Alex) did a good job introducing us to the equipment and assisted us along the exploration. This is such a beautiful area and getting to explore it up close was a great experience. My daughters said they would come back and do it again!! Highlight of our PR trip this year.

World class adventure nature, routes, and guides. - This tour has all you can ask for in an outdoor adventure experience. Had a great time climbing via ferrata, bolder scrambling, jumping into natural pools, rappelling, and seeing the pictographs with the dream team of guides. My wife and I, were paired with an adventurous couple on their 65th birthday vacation, and our guides were able to curate an experience that catered to all levels, naturally. Everyone could do the activities, and my wife and I even got to experience some “advanced” routes. Pacing was natural. The guides are fun, friendly, and technically skilled.
This trip is by far the best way to experience the geology and beauty of El Yunque.
Thanks to Ricky and his team. We will see you in years to come! Adios.

BEST bang for your buck tour!!! - I typically am not a huge fan of tours because typically they just try to get you in and out, this was not that!! It was a very personal and friendly experience, we were able to take our time where needed, there was no rush at all! This tour is a MUST do if you are in PR. If you like to hike, and are adventurous, this is the best thing you’ll do. Words cannot describe how fun this adventure was. Very cheap for the money you pay for the experience you are getting. I would recommend just getting a ride from the tour guide because I promise you will not want to drive back on your own after because of how tired you will be!
