Awesomeness!!! - Exciting, Educational, Physically Stimulating, Entertaining - I would rate this hike, tour, or adventure an exceptional 6 if the rating system allowed it. Yes, it was that incredible! Albert and his team were truly remarkable. It was like hiking and exploring with the dream team—Indiana Jones and Jacques Cousteau. We had a fantastic time on this moderately challenging hike, but we also learned a lot about the river, caves, indigenous people, wildlife, and even some archaeology about the area. The primary reason I’m writing this review is to recognize and share the efforts of those who stand out in a crowd. Here are a few reasons why we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Albert and his team: 1. Safety was our top priority. Everyone received a floatation aid and helmet, which may seem excessive at first, but when you consider that you’ll be exploring caves in the water, you appreciate the equipment. It’s more enjoyable to let the “life preserver” do the work so you can fully immerse yourself in the environment. 2. Albert’s event was unlike a typical “touristy” hike. He and his team of biologists and educators shared information that was fact-based and came from a place of authenticity. Their genuine love and respect for the magnificent outdoor spaces we explored was evident. 3. The group size was limited to under 15 people, creating an intimate and comfortable atmosphere, unlike many other tour options. 4. There was excellent communication before, during, and even after the event. If you’re seeking a family-friendly, exhilarating, and educational adventure that’s safe, entertaining , and educational, look no further. Call Albert and reserve your spot. Albert, this was our first time in Puerto Rico, and this was undoubtedly the highlight of our 6-day vacation. Thank you so much for the incredible experience. We promise to return and join you on your other tours.

I didn't fail in choosing them - I had a spectacular day. Since I contacted them they treated me very well. Enrique (the tour guide) was excellent. Since I was alone, she was always looking out for me and taking care of me. Enrique is very knowledgeable about our ecosystem and very funny. The group I shared with was also very good. I hope to repeat another tour with them soon.

Unforgettable experience! - Our experience exploring the caves of Charco Azul was nothing short of unforgettable. From start to finish, this tour exceeded all expectations and became one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Albert, our guide, was truly phenomenal. His knowledge of the local plants, wildlife, and the rich history of the caves brought everything to life in the most engaging way. Our two kids were captivated! We felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. There was even a chance to jump off a cliff into the water which was really exciting for my husband and two kids but not so much for me. Albert was wonderfully encouraging, but also completely respectful when I opted out. Instead of making me feel left out or embarrassed, he kindly guided me to an alternate route, making sure I still felt included and comfortable. The natural beauty of the caves combined with Albert’s thoughtful guidance made this experience truly magical. If you’re on the fence about which tour to book, look no further. This is the one. You won’t regret it!
