Don’t Leave Without Hiking El Yunque - 10/10 if you’d rather skip a day of water sliding and prefer staying dry like I did (aside from wading up to my knees a little to see the fish up close). Eli was extremely knowledgeable & entertaining - a kind and humble soul for sure. Book it.

The only Tropical Rainforest in the US - Our family wore our hiking sneakers, shorts/tee shirts and small backpack with water bottle. The trail is a little slick. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed a swim at the end.

Amazing Experience for Teens and Adults - Our Student Service Program group enjoyed the tour after spending the previous days serving the San Juan community. Our tour guides Martin and Eli were both knowledgeable and relatable to our large group of teens. They took so many photos and spoke highly of El Yunque and our guides in online posts. We are so grateful for such amazing guides and can't wait to share this experience with other teen volunteers.

Great Day at El Yunque - This was a great trip. Driver courteous and knowledgeable about the park. Great pickup spot. Comfortable transportation. Would definitely go again.

A nice time for some - Nice tour of key spots in El Yunque. Driver was helpful in explaining some information and telling us where we were going, but this was not a guided tour. We were dropped off at 4 different locations and given a time frame of when the bus would be continuing to the next location. This would be a nice activity for someone who just wants some highlights, but if you want a more interactive or informative tour, look elsewhere.

Overall, I thought the... - Overall, I thought the tour was good. Wish there was more emphasis on the hiking portion (especially since the tour is advertised as such) but still thought the itinerary was good. 1 hr hike to a tower with some stunning views, and then driving to another tower for more photo ops, followed by some time in the river. However my main feedback is around the execution of the tour. We got to the hiking stop and were told to be back in 1 hour. Some of the people on the tour expressed concern that it wasn’t enough time but Eli our guide said that it would take 45 mins round trip to the viewpoint without photo stops. For some reason, Eli didn’t come with us on the hike (not sure why there wasn’t a guide for the hike but felt like there was a risk of people getting lost or injured). I made it back down almost on the dot at the 1 hour mark (I consider myself fitter than average), but this was without any breaks except at the top and I felt like I had to rush taking my pictures instead of being able to enjoy the views. I was by far the first one down and had to wait maybe 15 mins or so for the others. Two of the other people ended up getting lost and came down an alternate trail but they found the van. The second stop was another tower without a hike. Our guide didn’t give us a designated meeting time or point. Went up and down roughly at the same time as the others in the group. When I saw two of them wander off after getting back down I did the same thinking we had more time, only to see the whole group a few minutes later walking towards the van with the guide. Rushed back to the van accordingly. Also, while Eli pointed out that there were restrooms at this stop I feel like we didn’t have ample time to use them, nor did he warn us that this was the only proper bathroom the whole tour. Last stop was the river. Was hard to enjoy given that it was rocky and the current was strong where we were. We were led to a part of the riverbed that was slippery, buggy, and had a lot of brush. Wish we were led slightly further up where conditions were a bit better. Only had 20-25 mins in the river so I just dipped my legs instead of actually getting in the water. Had to hike down 2 minutes from the road and it was rocky - honestly dangerous to do this in sandals and we weren’t given a heads up. Overall I thought the tour was good but there should’ve been more time allocated for the hike and it should’ve been better organized. Eli was very friendly and informative as a guide but feel like his execution could’ve been better
