Recommend to all visitors - I just wanted to thank Max for a wonderful experience. I had wanted to visit the Rainforest without having to do anything too physically intense and this was perfect. He was really patient with the group, played music to keep us energized and introduced us to great food. I am recommending his tour for my sister who is also going to take this tour. I am not sure where to write the review but wanted to acknowledge Max' hard work. He really made the experience fun for all participants even the kiddos. Hope he continues to do a wonderful job with other groups.

10/10 - Eli, our tour guide was amazing! He was knowledgeable, funny, and gave you the insider scoop on the history, culture, and food of Puerto Rico. This trip was the perfect amount of time for an afternoon of fun from a good hike, to incredible views, to a fun swim in a local river, it was the cherry on top to my trip to Puerto Rico!

Eli, is the GOAT on this excursion - Eli, our tour guide, made this excursion memorable! He began our trip to the rainforest by sharing his knowledge of PR’s history, culture and people. His knowledge of the area was amazing! My family spoke about this trip as one the highlights of our visit to Puerto Rico.

El Yunque Rainforest hiking tour from San Juan - We were lucky to get Eli as our tour guide. He was great! Very knowledgeable and he shared many details during the ride to El Yunque as well as while during the hike, stop at the tower, and river. We were looking for a tour with a shorter hike and optional swimming and this was just perfect.

Eli our guide was knowledgeable and so funny. He was warm and welcoming and made the trip up a blast! He was accommodating and helped us pick the best spot for my best friend to get proposed to. Thank you Eli!!

Enjoyable and worth the trip but not informative. - All in all, had a good time visiting the Rainforest and seeing the sights. We selected this tour because we could see the Rainforest, do a small hike, but didn't want to swim the waterfalls. This tour delivered on all accounts. Our only complaint was that while our tour guide "Harry" was efficient and friendly and got us from point A to B, he did not communicate much about the flora and fauna of the Rainforest. This seemed odd since many other reviewers for this tour noted their guides were extremely knowledgeable and filled them with much Rainforest information.
