10/10 - We took our tour with Isaac, he’s was extremely personable, knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make it a unique experience for our group. The van was spacious and had cold A/C. Pick up & drop off were punctual. It was the perfect way to check out the rainforest. We saw waterfalls, wildlife, insects, a view from the tower and took a dip in a swimming hole. Lunch at a local place was fantastic! 10/10 experience!

Enjoyable and Seamless Tour! - I had a great time on this tour! It was so seamless, our tour guide was kind and funny, and seemed to be friends with everyone we ran into! He was very knowledgeable and brought us to so many different spots, we felt like we had a very well rounded experience exploring El Yunque and the surrounding area. He also offered to take pictures at multiple spots which was a plus! I would highly recommend, especially if you don't want to do a full rainforest day tour or the "extreme adventure" tours of the rainforest but still want to experience a little bit of everything.

Fun trip! - It was the perfect size group (10 ppl) and a fantastic tour guide, Issac. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and the environment. We had a good walk through the forest up a mountain. Very doable except for those who might have trouble with climbing. We then went to tue tower and climbed up and then a waterfall where we could climb or take pictures. Our final stop in the rainforest was to the pool area which was so pretty. I enjoyed this part a lot after the climbing. So refreshing but don’t forget to wear water shoes. I was lucky I had them. The lunch stop was okay, nothing to rave about. Just a great guide with a nice group of people

Pleasant excursion to el Yunque! - Isaac was our tour guide on our trip to the rainforest, he truly went above and beyond!
He had great knowledge of the area and was very determined to find a frogs and insects to show! Good attitude and went the extra mile for helping us order our food and serving authentic Puerto Rican cuisine! He did a great job sharing lots of stories and facts on the drive up. Everything was well paced, nothing felt too long or too short as far as our stops on the trip. Perfect excursion for what we’re looking for! Not too high intensity like some of the other tours, this was relaxing, pleasant, and enjoyable!

Perfect day in tropical forest - Albin was very informative and his English easy to understand. Pick up at the cruise terminal was easy. Nice combination of driving and hiking. Swimming spot at the end was lovely private river pool; restrooms and changing room available. Lunch stop offered opportunity to buy traditional fare.

Rainforest tours done right - A great day from start to finish. Our guide, Isaac, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We hit four must see spots in the rainforest and followed it up with a great lunch at a as local spot. Communication was excellent and transportation was well coordinated. We have nothing but positive things to say about this tour.

Excellent guide - The host Isaac was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about every aspect of the experience. He talked about the history of Puerto Rico and various points of interest on the drive to the rain forest where we enjoyed a guided hike with many stops for seeing the flora and fauna. He was great at accommodating a wide range of walking abilities as we hiked. We stopped to visit an observation tower, waterfall, and spent some time to take a dip in a stream. The lunch stop at the end of the tour was excellent.
