El Yunque beauty and inspiration - Our group of 8 friends thoroughly enjoyed our El Yunque rainforest tour with our guide Isaac. Isaac was very knowledgeable and offered flexibility to make sure we all had a good experience. We are grateful for the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the beauty and inspiration of El Yunque.

Great experience- highly recommend! - We had a great time with Luis exploring El Yunque Rainforest!! My family and I were in Puerto Rico for the first time, and he gave us a lot of great information not just about the forest but about the whole island and different aspects of Puerto Rican culture. He was really great to talk to and would definitely recommend the experience to anyone looking for a tour of the forest!!

Enjoyed our half day tour with a great guide! - Louie was the best guide. Very knowledgeable and personable with some great stories! I would recommend this tour to those wanting something a little less adventurous with not a lot of hiking/walking. The rainforest itself was nice with a river you could swim in or jump off into if you wanted. Overall great for families and children and those not wanting anything strenuous. Stopped at local shack for some snacks and viewed a waterfall on side of road.

Great Half-Day Trip: Highly Recommend! - Luis was a wonderful tour guide and this was the perfect tour. Our group of ten were able to spend about an hour in a river, which has great scenic options for swimmers, thrill seekers, and non-swimmers. The tour was packed so we would quickly dry off and rest between stops. The food stop was also excellent, catering to many different tastes in our group. Expect intermittent rain - however, our timing was lucky that our group avoided getting drenched.
Luis is the best! He's very knowledgeable about local plants and animals - any question we asked, he had an answer to! He's also an excellent rock skipper!
In terms of timing, the trip lasted from about 8:30-2 pm, so this is a great way to get in a trip to El Yunque, while keeping your day open to other activities.

Amazing tour in El Yunque! - My wife and I booked this excursion and it was amazing! Our guide Luis was outstanding! He was so knowledgeable about Puerto Rico and shared so much of the history of the country on the drive to El Yunque. The rainforest itself was beautiful and the area that he took us to go swimming was very cold and refreshing. I highly suggest jumping from the cliff!
The last stop at the tower and waterfall had gorgeous views of the island and the ocean. He said on clear days that you can see St. Thomas from the tower!
I couldn’t recommend this excursion enough, great for all ages!

Wonderful - Issac was our guide and he was amazing! He is personable and made sure everyone was doing ok. It was a little cloudy and rainy but it was still an amazing day! I’m sure the views from the tower are even more beautiful with clear skies. The lunch stop had some amazing food. We didn’t swim but enjoyed dipping our feet in the cool water at the last stop.

Quick Excursion at El Yunque - Rafael was a fantastic guide - really attentive and informative. We really enjoyed our tour. As others have mentioned, pretty light on the walking portion but we did get to see a lot.
