Would do it again - Had a wonderful time! The activity itself was so much fun! Jose my tour guide was absolutely amazing! He kept us entertained and informed on the bus ride. Made it his business to remember all of our names. He was a pleasure to spend the day with and would definitely recommend this trip and him anytime.

Best Day - Absolutely amazing time. José, our guide, was the best. He made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. We had so much fun! José was very informative and attentive. The rainforest was beautiful and serene, and the beach was nice and warm. 10/10 would do it again!

Great family activity - Jose was an exceptional host, accommodating everyone in our diverse group, regardless of age. Despite the size of our group, he ensured that each person felt included and engaged, making the experience enjoyable for all. His ability to cater to different interests and keep the atmosphere lively and fun truly stood out, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. The hike was not difficult at all, and the water was nice and cool.
For a more detailed schedule
1. we were picked up and had about a 35-40 minute drive to the water slide
2. we were at the water slide for about 35 minutes and could slide as much as we wanted,
3. we did a mini hike to the water pool and stayed there for above an hour
4. we were then driven to Luquillo and stayed for about 2 hours.
5. we had drinks, went to the beach and more ( BRING CASH for this place, most places only took cash)
6. we started at 10:30 and were back at 4pm
great activity.

Great Adventure - Really enjoyed José. He was very knowledgeable. Also enjoyed that the group was small. I will warn you… the water slide is scary. Take advantage of the life jacket. I suspect it will pad you. I did not and wish I had.

Physically challenging but a great time! - If you are not very adventurous or hate mud this is not for you. There is hiking, walking on steep rocks, very slippery places, narrow, stepping over/under fallen trees, uphill/downhill, very slippery slopes to do the water slides. My guide did a great job of talking us through it and keeping us safe but it was not what I expected after doing similar hiking tours in other places. Overall we still had a great time. You will get a full body workout and feel like a true rainforest conquerer once you make it out😂 I really enjoyed Luquillo Beach. The food options are amazing. We chose to eat at Boscas Del Mar. 10/10 drinks, food (Yellow Tail Snapper was amazing), and the coconut arepitas were the best finish.

Great tour. - The water slide was a little rough but so much fun. Our guide made sure everyone was safe the entire time. He had lots of information about the island and places to go eat or hang out. The rainforest was beautiful and since we didn’t have a car with us we would not have been able to go without this tour.

Skip this on your itinerary - This tour honestly probably could have been a 5/5 with a better guide. Our guide Jose lacked patience and an awareness of the needs of the group. We confirmed the night before the time that we needed to be ready for pick up and he called us 45 min before pick up to let us know that the time had changed to an earlier time. Luckily we were able to make it on time but had we been on a different part of the island we would not have been able to make it. He also let us know not to bring a towel or a change or clothes because the "Puerto Rican sun would dry us". Obviously he cannot control the weather but it ended up pouring and we were cold and wet the hour drive back to our air bnb. While in the rainforest he did not check to ensure that members of the group were all together nor did he check to see if anyone needed assistance. He lost patience when people would ask clarifying questions since the information he was giving us was vague and lacked detail. He also wouldn't let people walk 50feet to the bus to grab their water bottle and it was honestly a miserable experience all around.

Great place shame about the tour guide - Will recomend the place not the tour as we where picked up late(not a problem)but booked spanish speaker guide,after we and another group mention this a few times and considering everybody on the bus spoke spanish he still refuse to change.
He was very unhelpfull bordering rude and never stopped talking

What was that? - The transportation provided to the rainforest was subpar. It smelled like a HS football players locker room. The smell came from the life vest used by prior guest, so not sanitized. Based on pictures saw online of the rain forest, it appears we got the "back door" entry into the rain forest.
The next part of the excursion was the beach, but we only had 90 minutes to eat and enjoy the beach before pick up. After eating we quickly rushed to enjoy some of the beach. It's a nice beach but there were no amenities such as umbrellas or cabana's available. We just found a spot on the sand and dropped our personal belongs. We were instructed by the guide not to bring towels because the PR sun would dry us.
The tour guide was friendly and shared PR history along the ride but I wouldn't do it again or recommend it to anyone.

Not worth it. - They sell this as a "hike in the rainforest". But the hike is literally 3 minutes. It's just to get to the location where you can do waterslides and swimming and that's it. You're not really seeing El Yunque. And then they drop you at Luquillo beach where apparently you need to "get drunk" and enjoy. But the beach is polluted and everything is super expensive.
This tour was definitely a waste of money. If you want to see the rainforest or beaches around the island, renting a car and going yourself is the better option.
