Super recommend! For everyone, chill in nature and see and swim in true caves - Honestly so fun! Three of us, two of which are more into nature…and myself who prefers poolside drinks but I came anyhow. I ended up loving it the most! Unique, calm, plus small workout involved which is a bonus as I do like moving around but trust even if you don’t the reward of swimming and seeing such cool caves is well worth it! It’s not crazy hard, moderate at best..and barely that Tips for dressing: less is better! You will be in the water no matter what, bring the dry bag for you items and honestly just do water shoes + cover up or clothing you don’t care that will get wet but def less is better. I brought too much don’t bring “just in case” really think about necessity for the cave swim part (dry bag, water shoes, cameras, 1 towel and share) 5gl bag is good enough too. After that is beach time and you can then use the rest of your items for the day. Super cool and very memorable! Also lunch was great and overall vibes was awesome, definitely a highlight for our trip :)

10 out of 10 - would recommend!!! - Enrique was an amazing host/guide. Great adventure that was just challenging enough for my 44yr-old back and knees. Great lunch spot and the arches were amazing. Can't wait to see the videos he took of us jumping off the ledge into the river. 100% worth the energy, time, and money.

Fantastic PR Day Trip! - I don’t know where to start. Jose was an excellent guide and explained the scientific and cultural history of the area as he guided us to and in the river. The caves were absolutely incredible to see and allowed for fantastic photo opportunities. We also got to jump into the river from rock next to the caves (only if we felt comfortable doing so). Jose took us to a local spot for lunch that was cheap and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this tour.

Best Vacation Experience Ever - This was the most amazing experience. Our guide was knowledgeable, patience, kind and great with the kids. She's definitely a rock star guide! There wasn't one favorite experience during the trip. It was ALL equally amazing. If you come to Puerto Rico this is a must do.

What a great day!!! - Wow wow wow!! Such a fun filled day doing river caving and Cueva Del Indio. Our tour guide Enrique was awesome. So fun and knowledgeable!! He was like the energizer bunny!! We were a group of 8 with 4 kids (13, 12, 12 and 7). Our favorites were the cave jump and then climbing in the cave at Seven Arches. If you are looking for a fun filled high energy day definitely book this one!
