  1. 1
    El Yunque National Forest

    4 hr - Get adventurous, get muddy and off the paved trail! Go on a hike to explore different zones of the rain forest, lesser known to the public, and enjoy beautiful views of the forest, natural pools and Atlantic Ocean during these 4 hours at the Forest. Once we arrive to the skirts of El Yunque we will start with a 25-30 minute journey on a river wading and rock scaling path to the river. Here you will see bamboo trees, rain-forest flowers, and many other beautiful plants and experience various rivers, waterfalls and walk through natural trails. We will make a stop to visit a collecting pool that forms at the base of a small waterfall. Here you will have the opportunity to swim on it’s crystal clear waters, swing from a rope and enjoy the different tones of its deep pools. A glimpse at the first waterfall, great for pictures opportunities! This portion of the adventure finishes in a pool area, its best kept secret. After a few minutes of hiking and rock climbing to the upper sections (more strenuous), arrive at a natural river where you can swim, cliff jump, enjoy the natural water slides and small waterfalls. After the hike, we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant (food cost not included) for about an hour to an hour and half.

  2. 2
    Laguna Grande

    2 hr - We will then proceed heading East to join on the guided nighttime bioluminescent bay kayak tour. Experience the mystical mangrove channels leading to Laguna Grande. Look into the water to see the glowing pyrodinium bahamense, microscopic planktons capable of producing natural light at the touch of your hand or paddle (like fireflies). Admire these amazing organisms up close as you paddle on a 2-person kayak through the mangroves for an estimate of 30-minutes, and learn from your eco-tour guide about this fragile and unique ecosystem. Once reached the lagoon, you will have some time to play with the water (from within the kayak) and receive more information, before we head back to the mangrove channels for another kayaking journey of approximately 30 minutes . Enjoy provided snacks at the end of the kayak tour, before returning to San Juan. Please note: The bio bay is an unpredictable natural phenomenon that may be influenced by multiple factors. Bioluminoscity level can vary from very visible to minimum or none without any previous notice. Full Moon phase may also affect the visibility of the bioluminescence. In the event of this happening alternate methods such as the use of a tarp will be incorporated in order to appreciate it.

Great choice & worth every cent

Our tour guides were so energetic and provided many educational facts throughout the trip. We started off on a hike through El Yunque and were able to go down a water slide, etc. Our tour guides were very helpful and they truly enjoyed their job and loves Puerto Rico which provided a wonderful experience for everyone. The kayaking tour was an amazing experience as well. We learned about the plankton that light up when you splash in the water. It rained on the way back but that made even more of an amazing experience. Also the whole experience was very organized.

Amazing El Yunque Rainforest experience

Our tour guide Julian was extremely knowledgeable about the rainforest and Puerto Rico in general. He gave us an extremely enjoyable experience and made it very fun.

Cool Puerto Rico Adventure! (Be prepared)

Writing this review mainly to give Adriana our rainforest tour guide a shout out. She was patient, knowledgeable and helpful. My notes for future travelers after going on this tour (booked through viator): -The "hike" is about 50% rock climbing. It is not easy, but is doable, especially with the help of your guide. You will get muddy & wet. -Wear running shoes w socks. Others wore tevas/water shoes but I would worry about losing a toe without the protection of a study shoe. It seems strange to go in water/mud w running shoes but your feet will thank you later. -Wear a swim suit/quick dry materials for the hike. -Don't bring anything with you on the hike, you can bring your phone in a waterproof case but I dont think its worth the risk. Our tour guide took lots of pictures and sent them to us directly. -They drop you off at a beach/restaurant area for a few hours before the biobay part. -Bring: Bag (leave on bus), towel, cash (for tip) & visa, long sleeves &/or pants for biobay, change of dry clothes for bus ride home, ziplocs/garbage bags for wet/muddy clothes, sunscreen, portable charger (optional), waterproof phone carrier (optional), water (they only provide a little), hat & sunglasses, snacks (or buy at 1st bathroom stop on drive) -BUG SPRAY!! Wear as much as you can for the biobay part but as a warning you will 100% still get eaten alive no matter how much you put on. Wear long sleeves and/or pants that can get wet to help block mosquitos. -You will get very wet in the kayaking/biobay part too. -Schedule your biobay tour as close to a New Moon as possible for optimal darkness; the guides use tarps to block out more light. The glow isn't blatantly obvious until you move your hands around in the water. It was still amazing. Overall, a very cool adventure to experience in Puerto Rico. It was a long, exhausting day with plenty of mosquito bite souvenirs but definitely worth it.

Fantastic experience!

"The people make the difference" is absolutely true for this tour, as Felix and Julian were exceptional guides and made the day unforgettable for me and my two teens. I highly recommend this tour for a great experience at El Yunque. I will bring friends and relatives on this tour. Tip: wear comfortable old shoes and just throw them away afterward. "1-2-3 Puerto Rico!!!"

Fantastic day in El Yunque and night on the Biobay!

The tour was the perfect last day of our trip. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel in San Juan to our drop off at the end of the day, we felt informed, safe, and taken care of. The El Yunque tour was terrific- tromping through mud, a bit of climbing, and jumping off a cliff! Felix and the rest of the guides kept us safe and worked well with everyone from the fittest teens and 20-somethings to the experienced but older hikers in the group. The late lunch/early dinner was fantastic. The day was capped off with the Bio Bay Kayaking, which was fun and informative. Our family was new to kayaking and had a blast. Thank you all!
