Highlights
  • San Juan - To begin our amazing adventure our guide will pick you up at your preferred hotel, resort, residence or airbnb in San Juan, Isla Verde and Condado (Although hotels in Rio Grande or Fajardo may not qualify, we can arrange a convenient meeting point near your accommodation for your ease and comfort). The schedule will be from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm or from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Both schedules have been strategically chosen to beat the crowds created by the large groups of other companies to make it more comfortable and safer for you.
  • El Yunque Hiking Area - Upon arrival, our certified tour guide will lead you through this amazing secret spot of “El Yunque”. In this area you will explore through the mud trails and lush green of the rainforest. The hike will take approximately 1.5 miles in total and will take approximately twenty minutes to reach the first bathing area and another fifteen minutes hiking on rocks to get to the water slide. We’ll spend around 2 hours inside the rainforest where we’ll be swimming, swinging from the rope like Tarzan, sliding down a natural waterslide, cooling off under the waterfall and jumping from different cliffs.
  • San Juan - Once the experience is over each member of the group will be taken back to their accommodation or meeting point.

Half Day Yunque fun - Had an amazing experience. The hike was rocky and muddy but lots of fun. The water is cool and refreshing especially after the hike. Beautiful pictures and worth the early morning rise. We did so much and made it back to the hotel by mid day! Felt safe and well taken care of by our guide, Eli. He continuously checked on us to make sure we felt comfortable. The drive is beautiful. You can see the island in an entirely different way. Totally worth it.

I survived the Yunque - Tour guides were great and very attentive. We had a blast on the way there, during the trip, and the way back. I was very hesitant to jump off the cliff but they cheered me on and super happy I did it.

Hospitality and safety is at an ALL TIME High - This tour was absolutely amazing, i went recently September 21 with my boyfriend as a birthday present he got for me when i say Eli was an amazing tour guide. He was very enthusiastic, energetic, dynamic and very informative with information. He picked us up from the hotel and on the way to the destination explained everything about puerto rico and its history. To include he was very adamant about everyone on the tours safety understanding that the tour can have some challenges as we hike up the mountain he made sure that we were prepared and equipped for the journey we had ahead. Life jackets and helmets were given to each person and moments of uncertainty he brought clarity. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting puerto rico and are explorers or just wanting to try something different and challenging however please make sure you are in great shape as far as athleticism it is a work out as you will do a lot of walking and climbing on your hiking journey towards the waterfall. I do recommend the smaller group because it allows more of an intimate experience. Overall if i could give this tour 20 stars i would thank you Eli for making my birthday trip to Puerto Rico magical and having such great respect and hospitality to me and my partner.

The best experience of our Trip to Puerto Rico - Nini and Eli were both excellent tour guides, by far the best tour I have been on in quite a while. At the end of the late tour tell them to take you to the best Monfongo in PR a place called Rellena’O. We ate at other places but this Mofongo is bar none The Best!!!! Don’t forget to have fun.

Stole my money - So Mt flight was delayed there was no number to call them directly and booking through here is a third party which means I wasn't refunded so they took my money and I didn't even make it. I called and explained and they said because I didnt call 24 hours ahead I can't get it back which I did but it was the 3rd party. 139.00 just took from me knowing I wasn't there is crazy.
