Highlights
  • Rio Grande - This stop is at the rainforest outskirts with its green and lush scenery. We will have a guided short hike by a certified tour guide through a trail that leads to another river and a serene freshwater natural pool, while admiring local the plants and trees around. Here, the more adventurous will be able to jump from a rope swing and others will just float, swim or relax in the shallow areas of the river.

  • Luquillo - First visit is a privately own local spot. The area has beautiful volcanic rock formations to walk around, a small waterfall and a natural swimming hole where you can jump from rocks. The main attractions are two natural rock waterslides, one for beginners and another for the adrenaline seekers, that will make everybody have a great time. After all this action is time to relax later for about one hour at the beautiful popular Luquillo beach, with few waves and calm waters, before heading back to your hotel.

Another excellences trip with Yamile - This was the second trip we booked with Yamile. She is an amazing guide and extremely knowledgeable about the area! After the water slides she brought us to Liquillo beach and guided us to the best restaurants, menu items and even made sure we all got seated, ordered and loved our food! Her tours are worth every penny and you can see all of them on her site Puertoricoasalocal dot com. Don’t book with any other company. Yamile is the best!

A kick back day but still experiencing the BEAUTY* - This is such a chill and beautiful excursion. We did a lengthy caves excursion with Yamilla days before and decided to cancel our 12hr rain forrest excursion with another company to do another with her (that says a lot about her!). It's comfortable strolls, tons of info about trees, plants, and animals via Yamilla's vast knowledge of her beloved country. Lunch at a place of your choice within this big strip mall on the beach, then an hour at the ocean.... it was a lovely day out that I'll never forget. It's also pretty cool to get out of Old San Juan and see surrounding cities, dwellings, and landscape..... who doesn't like roads trips to see the country side :)

Great tour, great guide - The tour was amazing. The kids still talk about the waterfall slides. Yamile was a wonderful guide. Her knowledge, patience and friendliness was unmatched and she made the excursion a family adventure. Her engagement during the tour created a shared experience with both families on the tour and the young ones are staying in touch. It was a great day all the way around, thanks to Yamile.

A+ - A+ experience. Yamile "Adopted us" her family for the day and treated us like family the entiure time! She is very energetic and knowledgeable about Puerto Rico and has a true passion for what she does. The experience itself was well planned. The Rain forest with the rope swing, cliff jump, and rock slide was great. The lunc spot was awesome, and the beach was perfect. Well done Yamile!

Amazing Tour & Tour guide - What an amazing way to spend the day. Yamile is an awesome guide. From the minute that you are picked up, you feel like you were being taken to all of the best places by a friend or family member who knows all of the secrets. The name says it all, "Puerto Rico as a Local" as you feel like one after spending the the day with a guide who is so passionate about her job and is so eager to share her love and knowledge of Puerto Rico with you like a friend. When we go back, we will look for "Puerto Rico as a Local" tours before any others.

Refreshing and Relaxing Tour! - I’ll start off by saying that after my husband and I went on Yamile’s Arenales Caves, River and Waterfall Plus Hidden Spring Full Day Adventure in PR tour the second day on our vacation, we canceled our second tour with a different company and booked this one with her instead. Yes, we loved the experience with Yamile so much that we booked another tour with her during our vacation! Like I said in my other review, if you are looking for a tour to book in Puerto Rico whether you are there for 2 months, 2 weeks, or 2 days, this is the one. This was the second of our two tours my husband and I booked with Yamile during our visit to the island in February 2023 (you should book her Arenales Caves, River and Waterfall Plus Hidden Spring Full Day Adventure in PR in Puerto Rico tour too)! Unlike typical tours where you pay a third-party that contracts tour guides, Yamile does it all; she is a one-woman show. From leading the tour, to driving, and checking us in, Yamile did everything. She also took incredible pictures and videos of us (individually and as a group) and shared them immediately after the trip. Yamile called us a few days before the trip to make sure we had packed everything we needed, understood the itinerary, and asked all the questions we had. No other tour guide has done this for us. My husband and I had such a fun time jumping into the river with the rope! I was a bit scared to jump off the cliff, but Yamile demonstrated how to do it (she got her hair wet to show me!) and guided me while I jumped off. The natural water slides were beautiful—unlike anything we had seen before. Luquillo beach was beautiful and we were so happy Yamile recommended La Parilla as our lunch spot—el mofongo de yuca and the beans was our favorite meal throughout our entire trip! Echoing what I said in my other review, we could keep adding so many more outstanding remarks about Yamile and Puerto Rico as a Local, but I'll keep it short and share one more: Yamilie is authentically passionate about her job and Puerto Rico. On both of our tours, she knew all of the local residents and stray animals. On this trip, we met a large duck named Luca who is owned by residents who live right near the river. In both of our tours, Yamile carried kibble to feed the animals and she picks up trash as we hike. That showed us that she cares about the locals, the animals, and our Earth. We loved this tour and will continue to recommend this experience and Yamile to everyone we know!

Amazing Family Rainforest and beach adventure - Our family of five with two tweens and a teenager had an amazing rainforest and beach day with Yamile! I had previously done the arénelas caves adventure with her and my daughter two years ago. We had such a fantastic time we knew we had to come back to Puerto Rico. The rainforest day was incredible with the rope swing, slides, educational information from Yamile, local lunch stop (great food with affordable prices) and beach time at the gorgeous Luquillo beach. She is a very personable and energized guide who loves her job and also ensures safety. It is also so nice to have a smaller group than some of the huge tours you see. My kids said the day was AMAZING and the parents agree! We will be back again! 🥰

Rainforest Tour and Water slide - Puerto Rico As A Local is a fantastic way to see parts of Puerto Rico off the beaten path. We travelled with Yamile to the rainforest and spent the day in the river as well as navigated a few trips down the waterslide. Capped off the day with a lunch at La Parilla on the beach which is the best food that we had while in Puerto Rico. Thank you Yamile for a great day.

Amazing tour! Highly recommend! - The entire extended family (from age 7 to 75) enjoyed the rainforest tour! Yamile was wonderful from booking through the end of the tour. She was able to adapt to our group with diverse ages. Having a private tour to see parts of Puerto Rico we could not have seen on our own was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend! We even tried to add the cave tour for the older teens and adventurous adults for a later date since we enjoyed the tour so much! Don’t hesitate to book!
