Loved Malcolm, our tour guide. - Malcolm, our tour guide was simply amazing!
His English, courtesy, knowledge of the area and his genuine concern for our safety was so apparent. He had an enjoyable personality. His vehicle was clean and roomy. He was prompt in picking us and kept in communication with us.
He was phenomenal!

Great experience - Malcolm was great. This small group tour is way to go if you want to experience the rainforest without taking a long hike. Playa Luquillo and the kioskos was a great way to finish out the tour.

10/10 - Must Do! - This small group tour with Malcolm was perfect for us. We knew we didn’t want to spend all day out because the PR sun is intense so the morning tour was perfect. We were picked up at our Airbnb and introduced to the other people on our tour, 6 total include our wonderful guide. We gave us info on the island and to the part of the rainforest we were going to.
Made sure everyone got to do what they wanted- relax or be a bit more adventurous. He got great pictures of us too!
The second part of the tour at the beach was awesome. Loquillo beach and the kiosks are great. Would definitely recommend!!!

A must if first time going to PR! - My friend and I had an amazing time! It was the perfect amount of time allocated for those who do not want to 4-6+ hour tour to the Coca Falls. Malcolm (the tour guide) took us to Las Paylas - A Natural Water Slide in Luquillo. It was moderate, not too bad climbing up the rocks. I recommend footwear with a good grip FYI.
He had life vests and I was brave enough to go on the second rock slide and jump from the rocks (mind you I know how to barely swim). It was a lot of fun! Then we finished with going to Luquillo beach. The kiosks were delicious and the waters were so serene so we were able to go in the water without the worry of the waves.
Wonderful trip!!

Fantastic tour, Malcolm is great!! - I had such a great time on this tour. I really enjoyed that Malcolm offers an experience in the rainforest and at the rock water slides without a huge hike involved (unlike most other tours I could find). Also loved having time to spend at Luquillo Beach, it was beautiful and the food vendors (not included) were delicious! Malcolm was very kind and offered many recommendations for other places to visit on the island. He was also very cautious of the group’s safety when navigating some of the slippery or difficult rocks. Highly recommend!

Malcolm was highlight of our entire trip!! - If it wasn’t for Malcolm, his kindness, knowledge about PR, his tour, and recommendations of the area, our trip wouldn’t have been as enjoyable. Our tour with him was strictly the 5 of us so he offered to pick us up from our hotel. Completely unexpected and immediately provided me with a sense of comfort in his character from the start. The 45 minute drive to El Yunque was far from dull because the conversation was educational, enlightening, and was given with full transparency. Malcolm was always aware of everyone’s presence, even when walking in the street. Despite how slippery the trail was, he was right there to lend a hand or shout out to help one another out. We interacted with the infamous dog. He taught one of us exactly what she needed to do to get down the adventurous slide. He made sure that our tour was early to try to beat the crowds, and boy was he right about that! Because we were the first group, so we people watched, and ate some fresh fruit (he brought from home) while doing it. So sweet! The baby slide (lol) and water hole were thrilling. The icing on the cake is he always made sure we took pictures and he offered to take pictures of us. When we got back to the car he offered us drinks for the ride to the beach. The tropical rain somewhat ruined our Luquillo beach time, but we ate and explored the plaza area instead. Malcolm suggested a spot by the bathrooms had the best pinchos, and boy did he deliver on that plug. He also stood in line to make sure we got some before our time ran out, and made sure we ordered the best things on the menu. The best arepas was down the way (lady with the eyebrows ;)). The mojito lab had me lit lit (get the sour sop one). Malcolm sat with us while we ate. Our conversation remained engaging and entertaining while dining and on the ride back to the hotel. Malcolm was so accommodating, friendly, funny, informative, kind, and genuine; all things we needed in light of what we’d been exposed to at our hotel. Thank you, Malcolm. You were a complete joy!
