Highlights
  • San Juan - To begin our amazing adventure our guide will pick you up at your preferred hotel, resort, residence or airbnb in San Juan, Isla Verde and Condado (Although hotels in Rio Grande or Fajardo may not qualify, we can arrange a convenient meeting point near your accommodation for your ease and comfort). The schedule will be from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm or from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Both schedules have been strategically chosen to beat the crowds created by the large groups of other companies to make it more comfortable and safer for you.
  • El Yunque National Forest - Upon arrival, our certified tour guide will lead you through this amazing secret spot of “El Yunque”. In this area you will explore through the mud trails and lush green of the rainforest. The hike will take approximately 1.5 miles in total and will take approximately twenty minutes to reach the first bathing area and another fifteen minutes hiking on rocks to get to the water slide. We’ll spend around 2 hours inside the rainforest where we’ll be swimming, swinging from the rope like Tarzan, sliding down a natural water slide, cooling off under the waterfall and jumping from different cliffs.
  • San Juan - Once the experience is over each member of the group will be taken back to their accommodation or meeting point.

Awesome - Brian was an excellent guide. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day with the sun shining the whole time we were there. Brian was very knowledgeable and passionate about his experiences in the rain forest. This hike is definitely not for people who aren’t able to climb and navigate through challenging terrain. Brain was very focused on safety and required helmets and life jackets be worn at all times. We couldn’t go down the waterfall slide because there was a flood and it would be too dangerous but we were able to do the cliff and rope jumping. It was very busy with a lot of other tours and locals. The ride back and forth to the mountain is a little scary given it is a one lane road. We had 3 other people in our group who were all very nice and had no problem with the hike. Brian was awesome would highly recommend!
