- Cueva del Indio - Get ready for the most unique experience in your life! First we meet up in Condado. From there you ride with us. The drive is about an hour and takes us to the heart of Arecibo. Arecibo is one of the cities with the richest historical legacies in all of Puerto Rico. The drive itself is very beautiful, but our first destination is absolutely breathtaking. When we get there we will do a short hike (wear good sneakers) to the mouth of the cave! Keep your cameras handy because the views are out of this world. The cave of the Taino Indian is a small cave system that is a historical and archeological wonderland! This cave is literally covered in Taino stone carvings. It is breathtaking and the scenery even more so! After we exit the cave, we make our way to the 7 arches to take in the amazing views. After another short hike back to the car, we head out to a beautiful beach in Arecibo as well. This tour will give you a taste of the Caribbean lifestyle/history/culture.

This day trip is guaranteed to make your stay in the island unforgettable. This tour has adrenaline and adventure, history and archeology, beautiful scenery and beaches. The drive to Arecibo is About an hour and it is beautiful from start to finish. We arrive and begin our hike to the cave of the Taino. Bring good shoes as the hike is quite rocky. The entrance to the cave is not for claustrophobic people. it is bit challenging but with our careful instructions you will be able to get inside (barring any physical conditions that hinder you). The cave is other worldly. You get transported to the past as you see the over 100 carvings in the stone that are hundreds, maybe thousands, of years old. After we exit the cave we will hike through the famous 7 arches of Arecibo. The arches are natural rock formations which can be appreciated in pictures, but only in person will you realize how beautiful it all really is. Last we visit a non-touristy beach that is amazing!
- Not recommended for people with claustrophobia

tour - Firstly the views were absolutely breathtaking! the arches, cave, petroglyphs, the water crashing against the rocks, to the animals we saw. But, this trip wouldn’t have been as exhilarating as it was without Edward. HE WAS AWESOME!!! He is so well educated with the entirety of the island and far beyond that. He was so patient, kind, and really went ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! There was not a single dull moment or conversation on this adventure. Edward made everyone on the trip feel welcomed, included, and extremely safe. We also stopped for dinner at martins bbq and we were all AMAZED at how good all the food was and how big the portions were. followed by the perfect way to end the night, a sunset walk on the beach. BY FAR THE BEST TOUR IVE BEEN ON!! THANK YOU SO MUCH EDWARD FOR MAKING THIS EXPERIENCE SO UNFORGETTABLE!!! (he also is an amazing photographer and got absolutely beautiful pictures/videos of everyone)

Adventurous and fun! - We had an amazing day today! We wanted to visit the caves and don’t know swimming so we chose this package.
I found everything easy and fun except for the entry and exit of the cave. That was tricky and scary. However, I’m so glad that our guide Sarah was there. It would not be an exaggeration if I say she saved us and helped us cross that stage. She practically pulled us up in the tricky spot and guided us throughout the trail.
The overall experience was adventurous. I recommend not going without a guide here.

Fun and exhilarating day trip - Though the trip was a little long it was worth it we started walking through this secluded beach and up onto a volcanic rock formation (where the sneakers came in hand) after we stopped at a tall ledge to take in Mother Nature we made our way to the cave. To climb through was a little scary, but in a fun way our guide was amazing! He helped us through the narrow cave (about 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall) as it opens into the larger portion. After we made it into the cave we were immediately greeted by bats hanging from the ceiling !. We walked into a big open part of the cave where we saw the Taino carvings which were fascinating. After we walked to the other side seeing the wild bees and their nest and went to a natural whirlpool. Our guide helped us swim in it and release us of our impurity’s.
Whilst drying off we made it back to the entrance and shimmied our way out of the cave and into the daylight. To unwind we ate at a roadside restaurant and then for the finale went to a nice beach and watched people paraglide! 10/10 trip 10/10 guide and 10/10 experience !

Fantastic cave tour with a fantastic guide. Ask Sarah about Frigate Birds ;-) - This was a fantastic tour!.Sarah was the best guide you could ask for - funny, personable, knowledgeable. The cave is really cool. The entry and exit can be a bit challenging but Sarah's technical knowledge and calm guidance will get you through with no problem. Wrap up the day at a beautiful beach with some tasty treats from a local food stand.

More dangerous than I thought bit worth it - I believe a tour guide is essential for the cave. I am anything but a rock climber and the tour guides helped me immensely. Let's be clear, this tour requires a bit of strength and agility. We started on a gorgeous beach and then climbed lava rocks up the hills for maybe a half hour. It was hard going. Wear sturdy shoes. Maybe even stretch before you go. We saw 3 of the 7 arches and they were so cool. The views on the walk were amazing. The climb into the cave was more dangerous than I expected but worth it. The guides were amazing. I felt safe but still a bit scared. My friend's legs didn't stop shaking for 15 minutes until after we were in the cave. Be prepared for scratches and scooting on your tush while in the cave. Yes the cave has bats. We sweated an enormous amount and exerted ourselves. Keep in mind that there are no safety ropes or handrails to help. You are reliant on your guide. Again they were great. The way you go in is the way you go out. We stopped for a lunch afterwards which was nice at an authentic roadside spot.. nothing fancy but super good.. then we went to a beach nearby maybe 10 minutes away. The water was great. Waves kept breaking in. There was a bit of undertow but nothing dangerous. Overall super glad we did this but I can understand why people bail once they see the cave entrance.

A Nice Afternoon Leisure Landscape w/ Sarah - Was in Puerto Rico with no definitive plans but was informed to take this tour with Sarah and I'm honestly glad we did because it was such an amazing experience. Sarah picked us up close by our hotel and even brought water and snacks for us. During the excursion, she moved at our pace, took pictures and was extremely informative whether it was history or pop culture related. We learned a lot in the allotted time we had and enjoyed ourselves in the caves and rocks and even ate some great local food afterwards thanks to her recommendations. The experience far met my expectations and Sarah was in control and on it from beginning to end. I would highly recommend anyone to her for future bookings.
