My husband and I booked... - My husband and I booked the cave tour and it certainly did not disappoint!!! John was our Tour Guide and he was awesome! John made us feel like family from the time he introduced himself and made us feel completely safe throughout the entire Tour! I have not cliff jumped since my 20’s and he walked me through every step! John is also a history buff and shared so much information and culture with us! It was a fun learning experience! We loved it!

Once in a lifetime experience - Fantastic experience! This was a private tour led by a true local. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. You definitely need to be fit and have comfortable shoes. He was so gracious in helping my very brave and fit mom navigate the cliffs, and jumping into the water was a once in a lifetime experience. We are SO glad we got the opportunity to see this beautiful part of PR

Cave Trip in Puerto Rico - Our guide, John, was amazing. He made sure we found parking, then that we were safe climbing the cave and especially in the water. He was kind and brought us snacks too. Lots of unexpected adventures, loved it. Strongly recommend John .

BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER! - Hands down the best experience in Puerto Rico. You cannot go wrong with Jean. He is an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and never makes you feel like you make it through the hike. Super friendly. If I could give him 100 stars I would. 100% best tour guide.

MUST SEE, HIDDEN GEM! Go for it! Will not regret! - It was my dream to visit a cave but I couldn’t imagine this! This is definitely MUST SEE trip, one in a lifetime opportunity to swim in a cave in a dark (head flashlight and a safety jackets are provided) and to see two more caves. The trip was organized very well, the tour guy and his assistant are very friendly and knowledgeable and did everything to make this trip enjoyable. As a bonus-you could jump from 30 feet rock (optional, but think about the future to not regret about this opportunity that was not used!), So, I did it! It is a really, really HIDDEN GEM, out of tourists. Go for it! It is definitely worth it in terms of memories you will take with you from this trip. I was lucky to find this tour and can imagine that people will come to this country just to have the same trip as I had. THANK YOU!!!
