Well worth it - This tour was amazing. The area we got to see with our tour guild was great. The Tour guild was very knowledgably about the area, the wildlife and the history of the area. If you can afford to do this it is well worth the money and if I had to go to those areas I would do it the same way. I have nothing but good things to say about this.

Don't miss a chance for this unique experience! - This was such an amazing experience! Amazing nature, really quite an adventer! Albert was everything you could hope for from a tour guide. Everyone in our family highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of our trip.

Absolutely Do This Tour With This Guide! Once in a Lifetime Experience! - Alberto was the perfect guide. He is knowledgeable about local flora and fauna. He added just enough of that to the tour and I really enjoyed it. As for the caves, it was AMAZING! The whole experience exceeded my expectations and was one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever experienced. It was a little outside my comfort zone, but Alberto was so kind and considerate and safety conscience that I felt completely comfortable. The Crystal Clear Water Beach was wonderful. Many beaches have the sand churning up and it’s unpleasant to wade or swim in. This one was clean with very little garbage like many on the island and the water really was clear. I played for hours! I highly recommend this tour with this tour guide. It a must do on your vacation to Puerto Rico.

An unbelievable experience - We were in San Juan for a few days after our cruise and booked this tour based on a local friend’s recommendation. There are several reasons you should book this tour as well. First, communication! Albert is quick to respond to my questions and concerns. Second, flexibility! Albert was able to make a slight adjustment to our pick up time and to pick us up outside his normal area. It wasn’t too far out of his way, though, and it’s not like he can list every hotel in San Juan for pick up. But that goes back to communication… ask and he’ll respond within a day. Third, safety! Albert outfitted us with knee pads, life jackets, helmets and headlamps. The other tour guides had only life jackets for their groups. When climbing over the rocks at the waterfalls, Albert was very clear about where to place your feet and hands. He even gave different route possibilities based on our level of fitness and comfort. Fourth, knowledge! Albert has been doing this tour for about 10 years but he’s been coming to these caves since he was a boy. He knows all the flora and fauna and goes slowly to point out everything of interest. He even stops to listen to the birds and frogs. In addition to the current nature of the area, he’s also highly knowledgeable in the Puerto Rican and Taino culture. Now, you will get completely soaked. We used waterproof cases with lanyards for our phones and left everything else in the truck. Really sturdy water shoes might be okay but solid lace up tennis shoes that you don’t mind getting wet are a better choice. We brought shoes that we were planning to throw away so we didn’t worry about wet shoes in our luggage. After 3 to 3 1/2 hours on the cave and river part of our tour, we used the facilities to change into dry clothes and drove to lunch. Yum! Bar B Que! After lunch we drove to the second part of our tour (the beach and coastal forest walk) but our tour was on Presidents Day and EVERYBODY in San Juan was at the beach. We couldn’t find a parking spot at the planned beach. So, flexibility! We asked Albert to take us to a different, less crowded beach. [Note: Try to plan this excursion during the week and NOT on a National Holiday!] Going to a different beach worked out really well because there was another shallow DRY cave with bats and petroglyphs left by the Taino people. He knew where to find them all and what they signified. We had the option to stay at the beach for 30 minutes or longer but we are not beachy people and it was HOT in the sun even in Mid February. We left our hotel at 7:30 and Albert dropped us off at 4:15 as we had requested. If you don’t have time for a whole day excursion, you could ask for just the cave tour and be done in 4 or 5 hours.

Highlight of our week in Puerto Rico! Albert is the best guide. - For those who love outdoors and a bit of experiential travel, this is in the category of top 3 things to do in Puerto Rico. Albert is an exceptional guide who brings everything you need...life jackets, helmet, headlamp, water, a snack, bug spray, even knee pads (remarkably helpful). You just need to bring water shoes. The entire experience is about 3.5 hours from the time you get there (so more if you are driving in). I appreciated that given different water levels, he personally checks safety at that moment before having the group go. Many years ago, Albert became the first person guiding this trip and it shows. He makes you very comfortable and is constantly teaching...about plants and their purposes, birds you see or hear, bats, cave formations, etc. You do have to be in ok shape--there is some steep downhill and uphill including light climbing. To enter the highlight of the trip (going through the cave), you have to take either a very narrow trail around a water hole or jump about 15 feet down into the water hole. I recommend jumping...it's totally safe and the hardest part is just making the jump. The caves are beautiful and magical. Our top activity was swimming in the biolumenscence in La Parguera. Charco Azul and Arenales was our second favorite activity during our week in Puerto Rico.

Best Water Caves Adventure!! - GO! You will not be disappointed!! It’s beyond fabulous! The tour guide is amazing; teaching you how the caves formed and taking you from one cave to another and seeing the fascinating formations inside! You do not want to miss this!! It’s super safe with helmets and life vests and he’s beyond patient. Have a blast!!
