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.

Cruise 2024 - This was the best tour we have ever taken. From the pickup right to the drop off the guides were exceptional. Their knowledge and willingness to be part of our family for a few hours made the total experience one that we will treasure forever. I highly recommend this service to everyone looking to enjoy their tour.

El Yunque is a must! - After reading all of the reviews, we knew we wanted a small group experience for the El Yunque rainforest experience. We were prepared for an active lifestyle day. This was a not to be missed Puerto Rican precious experience. We thank our guide, Josue, with tourshacker for all of the encouragement, expertise and good vibes he shared with our group. It was only me and my husband so we were paired with 2 other people. We were so happy to be close to our guide in a small group to hear his directions and weave us in and out of all the tourists. We were all able to do the rope swing, cliff jumping and rock climbing. Good shoes are a must! Thanks again, Viator, for matching us with a memory making tour experience.

Well worth the money for the tour guide experience! - Chuky (Bryan) was a fantastic tour guide! He communicated very well on expectations, what to bring and when to be ready for pickup. He requested we leave all electronics and other personal items behind so that we could fully enjoy the tour....and it was amazing! He took lots of pictures and videos and shared them with us at the end. He pointed out many items in nature, encouraged us to enjoy all the water activities and made it so enjoyable! The waterslide, cliff jumping and rope swing was so fun! The morning session is well worth beating the crowds!

Family Fun in the Porto Rico Rainforest - Bryan “Chuky” was awesome from the moment he picked us up to the moment he dropped us off. Awesome information about the rainforest and landscape. The trail was beautiful but somewhat challenging and he was very helpful to keep us safe. We did the slide, jumped from a cliff a couple times and swung from a rope swing. It was so much fun and Bryan was a significant part of how much fun we had.
