What travelers are saying
Very special to see an actual rainforest and Hera about the plants. The slide and jump were fun. Our guide (Marty) was fun and engaging.
Our guide, Ashley, was extremely knowledgable about all the different plants and birds we encountered. She was also very capable and was able to help us to navigate the rocks and river in a safe and efficient manner. Doing the jumps and waterslide was certainly thrilling, but having several groups all bunched up at once kind of took away from the experience and made it kinda feel a little like waiting in line for a ride. Also, the time we had in the rainforest was rushed to keep up with the tour times. All in all it was a great experience.
Andrea was the guide and she was fantastic. Shared a ton of history about Puerto Rico along the way and made safety of the guests her number one concern.
The hike in the rain forest and all the water activity was a lot of fun. The hour bus ride with no A/c there freezing A/c on the way back wasn’t not good. They had two nice vans there for people to ride in but some how we were on the school bus. But our tour guide was great!
This tour was worth every penny. We were picked up in a nice, air conditioned sprinter van. Our Tour guide spoke English very well and was very knowledgeable, reassuring, and letting us know exactly what we were getting in to. Defiantly moderate difficulty. It was quite the challenge in some places but not so hard in others. My husband and sons did the water slides, rope swings, and cliff jumping while I just stayed and enjoyed the cool water. After the hike in the Rainforest we stopped at a Marketplace by the beach with lots of food vendors. Had the best "meat turnovers" of my life. I would call them empanadas. I ended up going back to buy a second one.
This tour was fabulous! Hike to the waterfalls then slide down! Also jumping into the river and a rope swing. There are various options for your comfort level. Our tour guide Charlie was great - he was encouraging and really fun! Highly recommend if you like nature and a little adventure.
Charlie was the best guide! We had the best time ever!
the best experience we had while in Puerto Rico! staring with the bus ride, the driver was extremely friendly and allowed passengers to play our desired music, and our tour guide Sebastian was absolutely amazing! the experience was great.
