Highlights
- El Yunque National Forest - Upon your arrival at El Yunque National Forest, our accredited guide will escort you to a hidden gem within ‘El Yunque’. You’ll navigate muddy paths and the verdant surroundings of the rainforest during the trek. The walk spans roughly 1.5 miles and will take about twenty minutes to arrive at the initial swimming spot, followed by an additional ten-minute hike over rocky terrain to reach the natural waterslide. We plan to spend approximately 2 hours in the rainforest, engaging in activities such as swimming, swinging on a rope like Tarzan, sliding down the waterslide, chilling beneath waterfalls, and leaping off various cliffs. Alternatively, you can simply unwind, snap photos, immerse yourself in the cool waters, and take in the breathtaking scenery. Participation in adventure activities is entirely voluntary.

Party of 9 - I would highly recommend going early and in a small group. We had a fabulous time and our guide was awesome. I recommend wearing good gripping shoes. We had 4 adults and 5 children.

Fun Trip and Great Value for the money! - Would Recommend! - We booked this trip last minute and it did not disappoint. The bus ride there and back was comfortable and the A/C was great. Our guide Jefat /Jeffrey was fantastic and friendly. He was very patient with all of us, helping us climb/step up the rocks and encouraging those who were nervous of jumping off the rocks. He also took pics and videos of us the whole way and just gave us the photos with no extra charge! NOTE- the short hike there was fun but be prepared to get your shoes very dirty and covered in red clay. There was some cold water and snacks for the ride home as well. Great value for the money!

Lots of Fun - Xander was an extremely enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and safety first guide. Perfect for families and any first time visitor looking for a safe and fun experience. Also, loved that he knew so many people and supported a local food business.

Phenomenal Experience - One of the best one-day trips I have ever done! and there is no better guide than Xander. Usually when you go to tours like this it oftentimes happens that guides just want to get it done as soon as possible and leave with the least effort, but our guide went far beyond and above! It was such a unique experience especially for people who like nature adventure and having a lot of fun, something once in a lifetime and every penny is worth it. The guide was very enthusiastic and adventurous but at the same time took care of us all and even took pictures of us at all the good places he showed us off the beaten track!

BOOK THE TRIP!! - best experience ever!!! Xander was THE best tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the plants and wildlife around us, made sure to direct us with the safest advice, and had a very adventurous and fun personality. He made today one of my best days ever and I felt safe through it all. He made sure to give us expectations for each activity and gave us the choice to do different things. BOOK THIS TRIP (but make sure coordinated and healthy enough)

Japheth was awesome! - We had so much fun! Japheth was a great guide and ensured our safety with helmets. It was a good mix of information on the unique plants and rainforest ecosystem with a great hiking experience and water adventure. The path is completely muddy so plan for your footwear accordingly. While the tour itself was amazing, we were sooo grateful Japheth stopped by a local lunch spot on the way home for authentic Puerto Rican food.

Don’t miss out on this amazing experience!! - The views were wonderful and the tour felt the most safe compared to other groups that were there- don’t get me wrong you’re still doing ALL the craziest things like jumping off of 25ft cliffs and sliding down rock Waterslides you’re just required to wear a life jacket and a helmet which to me seemed VERY necessary as you literally have to repel down a wall(another group even mentioned while we were passing that they wished they had helmets as well). The tour guide was great and informed us of local vegetation and offered to take pictures at multiple scenic areas and even provided encouragement when you were fearful for the cliff jumping and water slides. The only downside was There was an unexpected 1 hour schedule change that we were notified of an hour in advance as the tour guide had never had someone follow them with their own car and had multiple groups to pick up from separate locations prior to the meeting point. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I honestly wish we could do it again before we leave!!
