Great experience - The tour with Malcolm was great 👍 I recommend 100%. He was very knowledgeable and we got to do both slides and took us to Luquillo beach. He was not rushed. He took his time. Overall it was a great experience and I would do it again!

Amazing Experience! - This was a fantastic excursion! Martin was an amazing guide! We loved the water falls and the kiosks! The hike was very short. More so just walking into the rainforest. I over prepared for this. The water is fast, but just follow Martin’s guidance and you’ll be great!

Malcolm is the man! - We had an amazing time with Malcolm on our excursion to El Yunque and Luquillo Beach! From start to finish, he made the day fun, safe, and unforgettable. His knowledge of the PR, its history, and hidden gems made the tour extra special, and he always made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. After exploring waterfalls and trails, ending the day at Luquillo Beach was the perfect touch — relaxing, beautiful, and so much fun.
Malcolm went above and beyond to give us a memorable experience, and we can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for an excursion filled with adventure, great vibes, and local insight, this is the one!

Rainforest and beach in Puerto Rico - Amazing excursion. Malcom gave us a VIP experience with personalized travel, getting us to the sites with no waits for adventure, and even serving us Mango from his personal garden as a surprise treat. Best excursion by far that we have ever done!

Awesome Rainforest Adventure with an Exceptional Guide - We had such a great time on this tour! The rainforest hike was beautiful and so much fun, and our guide made the experience exceptional — thoughtful, engaging, fun, and incredibly informative. I really appreciated that there was flexibility to either participate in the activities or just enjoy the hike at your own pace. The beach at the end was stunning, and getting local recommendations from our guide was such a nice touch. Pickup and drop-off right at our Airbnb made everything completely seamless. Overall, it was a smooth, well-organized experience from start to finish, and the tour guide truly made it unforgettable.

My family and I went on a... - My family and I went on a cruise that stopped in San Juan. I was so nervous to book a tour not through the ship but this was something we wanted to do so we took the chance.
Right away I was super happy with Malcolm. He moved up the time a little bit because I was nervous about making it back to the ship on time and when Royal Carribean moved up our time in port Malcolm moved up the time a little more. This experience was great! Malcolm is great! I will recommend him to anyone i know visiting Puerto Rico and looking for a great tour guide.

Amazing Tour with lots of Insight - My family had an absolutely amazing experience touring Puerto Rico with Malcolm! From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism great communication and also affordable . You don't pay until the day of the tour.
The tour itself was so much fun. We explored the Rainforest, and were able to use a natural waterfall slide.
The water was cool and so refreshing, and we never felt rushed. The pace was perfect: relaxed, but full of highlights. Timing was great. We started early and therefore had no crowds.
We stopped at a beautiful local beach where we had time to unwind, take photos, and soak in the sun. The beach strip has plenty of food places and souvenir shops.
Malcolm also shared great insights about the island’s history, culture, and daily life.
We finished the day exploring Old San Juan. Walking the colorful streets, seeing the historic buildings.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puerto Rico—whether it’s your first time or your fifth! It’s a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, culture, and fun. Malcolm made our trip truly special. Don’t miss out!
