The Experience

What your day looks like

We have put together an itinerary that is the perfect combination of hiking, nature, water activities, fun information, and relaxation; led by passionate local tour guides eager to share with you their island! Start your day by meeting your guide at the local fruit stand “Frutera Flores” in the town of Luquillo. Here, your guide will pick up a variety of fresh local fruit for the tour (included), and you have the opportunity to purchase some local fritters and/or a fresh fruit smoothie. After this stop, you will follow your tour guide in your own vehicle to Puerto Rico’s majestic Rainforest. El Yunque is without a doubt Puerto Rico’s greatest Natural Wonder. It is the only Tropical Rainforest, and the most studied Forest, in the United States National Forest System. It is the most biologically diverse forest, hosting hundreds of plants and animals, some only found here in Puerto Rico! After an interpretive hike through natural trails lined with beautiful flora and fauna, and some river wading, we will arrive to a hidden gem found in the heart of the rainforest. This breathtaking segment of the 29,000 acre forest is like a natural playground. Here you will have the chance to swim in the natural pools, refresh in waterfalls, slide down an exhilarating waterslide, rope swing into the river, jump from different rock formations, and enjoy fresh local fruit with a view. Along with all of this excitement, you will also have time to simply relax to the sounds of cascading waters and take in the beauty of this very special place.

The hike was amazing! Danny and Bradley were great guides. They kept us safe but gave us plenty of time to have adventures! The El Yunque Rainforest is a must see - would highly recommend this tour!

Our guides Bradley and Danny were knowledgeable, friendly, and just plain fun. Highly recommend this tour for any adventure-seeking family! The hike was not too difficult - but be prepared to get muddy! The rainforest is beautiful and not to be missed. The rock slide, cliff-jumping, and rope swing were all exhilarating, and we loved the fresh fruit after a day out in nature. Definitely recommend!
