Like Predator, but without violence :) - Adrian led us on an educational hike through the rainforest, identifying interesting flora and fauna before arriving at the stream. A few scrambles later, we hit a natural waterslide and jumps from 6 to 15 feet into deep pools and even a rope swing into the fresh water! Equipped with vests and helmets, we were safe and festive as we returned to the base for snacks and a fresh set of clothes. A great way to spend half a day for adventurers and families.

Great family fun adventure! - We are a family of 6 (19-55 years old) and we all enjoyed the adventure! Our rainforest tour guide Adrian, was fabulous on the tour connecting with each of us! He also provided added suggestions for the rest of our trip in PR! The small group of 10 total people also made it super enjoyable for us!

We had so much fun with... - We had so much fun with Arnel! We really appreciated that our group was as small and that we got to the rainforest early. It looked like a much better experience than the big groups coming in later. Our guide was fantastic - knowledgeable and kind. It was a fantastic experience!

This was amazing! It’s a bit of a drive and the hike was intense but once you get to the top it’s totally worth it! - This trip was amazing. The hike is not for the faint of heart- it was intense and I have bruises and muscle fatigue to prove it. But once you get to the top- the slides, cliff jumping, and rope swing are totally worth it! It was crowded but the water felt amazing and the view of the rainforest was awesome. Bring tennis shoes you can throw away. Would definitely do this tour again.

El Younque Family Fun - Our tour guide, Myrllam, was absolutely the best! Very friendly, motivated, informative, and just a special person. We are extremely grateful and lucky to have had her and Hacker Tours during El Younque Tour.

Great fun - go early as possible to beat crowds - Very good way to easily experience the rain forest. Experienced hikers seeking a challenge may want to look elsewhere, but the main draw is the water jumping, swinging and sliding. Definitely a tourist location as it REALLY filled up by the time we finished. It’s not any kind of hidden gem, but still a great experience. Book as early as possible to minimize the crowds. The waterfall is beautiful and the water feels amazing. The rocks you need to climb can definitely be a challenge, so heed the warnings about fitness and weight. You really do need some dexterity and athleticism to complete some of the more tricky rock climbs. Our guide was great and it’s just so beneficial to have a local who can provide the transport. Strong recommend.
