Fantastic & exhilarating!
Francisco R, 15-09-2022
This excursion hands down was the most intense but most satisfying ever! The tour guide Franky was freaking fantastic & hilarious! The hike was very engaging and involved since you needed to climb, dip, and crawl but in the end it was all worth it. Definitely recommend.

Our tour guide was Frankie. We had an amazing time. This was more that just your standard hike. It was an adventure. It is difficult but the reward is more than worth it. They take pictures and videos along the way. Overall great experience!
Adventure awaits!

This was one of the best excursions we have been on! My husband and I like to travel and we try to do at least 2 activities at each of the places we go to. This definitely sits at the top. It’s definitely physically demanding, but the tour guides are there to help support you along the journey and once you get to the natural water slides, the rope swing, and the cliff jump, it’s all worth it! Frankie was our tour guide, and he was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Chris was our “life guard,” he helped us along the trek and in the water to ensure our safety. You will have an absolute blast on this excursion, you should absolutely book it!
Visit to El Yunque with tour guide Ivan !
Ana D, 11-12-2022
Our tour guide Ivan was the best !! I definitely recommend him for anybody looking to have a great experience en el Yunque, He was very kind and outgoing. Along the way he spoke about some history about the island and about how things came to be, the culture. We all felt very comfortable around him and had lots of laughs along the way as well. When it came to an end he recommended spots for food, drinks and music!! We all enjoyed our experience so much and were glad to have Ivan as our tour guide. 10/10 :D
Must Do!

I couldn't imagine the rainforest adventure without her. She made sure of our safety through out the trip and also provided inputs on different trees and their origin in the rain forest.
Great time!

THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN SAN JUAN
Kalyn_H, 31-01-2023
Adriana and Louis were AMAZING. They kept us energized and excited for everything this trip had to offer. I felt safe the entire time although I could see how the hike could be pretty challenging for the unexperienced. However, I urge everyone to challenge themselves to be brave! It will be worth it! The experience is absolutely breathtaking and Adriana and Louis are super fun and informative, so you will learn a lot about El Yunque! Walking past the other tours that were going on, it was obvious we were given the best tour guides with the best company.
Adventurous and Fun

Adriana was an amazing guide. Our hike wouldn't have been as fun as it was without her. Not to forget how she ensured we all were safe and had an amazing experience at the same time. She also had amazing restaurant suggestions for lunch.
