It was very enjoyable. The walking was easy. Our tour guide Isaac was great. We stopped outside for the park for a delicious lunch before heading home.

It is cool to see the forest and learn about everything inside. So many plants the water was clear. It was stunning
Great time and experience. Good to visit the upper parts of the island. Ingrid was great. Recommend this tour.
Please bring a towel with you if you plan to swim in the river. Ask for Ingrid she was the best guide I have ever had. The tower views even in the rain were spectacular
This tour was an excellent way to experience the rain forest but other travelers shoulld be aware that the paths in the forest are not consistent. Some can be steep and covered in roots. You may also want to bring a disposable rain jacket/poncho because it can (and did) rain.
It was beautiful and our tour guide Ingrid did an excellent job ! I definitely wouldn’t mind booking this again!
Ingrid was an exceptional guide! Very knowledgeable, attentive and patient. The trip is highly recommended.
I had a phenomenal experience. Isaac and Fernando were AMAZING!! I loved seeing El Yunque, which I hadn't visited before. Isaac did a great job of sharing facts about San Juan and El Yunque. The price was right for the experience. I would recommend this tour. Isaac also shared other tidbits about the island, which I thoroughly enjoyed learning about. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone on the tour was friendly. Because the other tourists were friendly, our adventure was interesting.
Such a wonderful day exploring El Yunque with our guide Ingrid. Such detailed info about the history of the island & the flora and fauna that we were seeing! She was truly a delight & made the experience go from great to Outstanding! I highly recommend!
Ingrid was fantastic! Shared knowledge of the island. Great stops and plenty of time at each. Overall easy, there is a small hike to the river swimming spot, but I was fine in sturdy waterproof sandals. Water shoes are recommended and bring cash for lunch and tipping.
Isaac was excellent! Knew all the spots to stop! Great sense of humor! We were particularly thankful he waited for us when we were unexpectedly about 10 minutes late for tour start; I was panicked!
Me and my husband had a great time with our tour guide and the small group we were with. Pickup at the hotel was seamless. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and caring. The views at the observatory were breathtaking. The river portion was a lot of fun. Our favorite meal of the trip was the one lunch stop at a roadside food stand.
Ingrid was an amazing tour guide. You could tell she loves what she’s doing. She was very informative and fun. Our large group had an amazing time with her.
Isaac was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He showed us so many things that we definitely would have seen by going on our own, including the tree snails, the stick insect, slime slug, and a hummingbird nest. And the yummy food stop, where he went behind the counter & helped take our lunch orders. Definitely a highlight of our trip!
Our family really enjoyed this excursion. Ingrid was our guide and she was wonderful! She told us so much about El Yunque and Puerto Rico. She made sure that everyone was comfortable and having a good time. We drove to a river area, walked down to the river, played in the water, walked back to the van. She had water and a bathroom opportunity. Then we drove into the rainforest, she filled us in on many facts the entire time, stopped at Torre Yokahu observation tower, climbed the 98 stairs and enjoyed the view and area around it. Then she took us to the tallest waterfall in the rainforest. Then she gave the group food options, we chose local fare. After the yummy lunch (bring cash), we head back to San Juan. Ingrid made the the experience great for the entire shuttle. Decent comfortable walking shoes, a bathing suit, a towel, sunscreen or hat and cash for food after is all you need. The experience and facts were informative and enjoyable for all.
El Yunque is so beautiful every place you look is green. Thank you for the great experiencd and wonderful education on El.Yinque and Puerto Rico Isaac!
We booked what we thought was a tour for seniors and it wasn’t. The terrain was slippery and steep. The tour included rock climbing. A hike at high elevation. A dip in a pool that was a little tricky maneuvering the muddy decline that went down to a rocky area for the pool. Isaac was a super guide. Very knowledgeable about the rainforest and History of PR. He was a pleasure. We have good memories.
Pedro was awesome. A very knowledgeable and fun tour guide
It was a good amount of time for the trip. We saw beautiful scenery and the guide was very informative
Had an amazing experience. Ingrid was our guide and she was awesome. Learned a lot about the plants and wildlife with her. Pick up and drop off were easy peasy as well.
We had a fantastic guided tour experience throughout the El Yunque National Forest. Our guide Ingrid was so kind, engaging, and we learned quite a bit about Puerto Rico. Would definitely book again and recommend to family and friends.
On 9/24/26 we went to explore the El YunQue rain forest in PR. We were picked up at our hotel by tour leader Issic. Issic was great, very knowledgeable, informative and funny. We first went on a hike down to a swimming hole and if you wanted to swim, you could. Next stop was the 100' tower Which gave a 360^ view. 98 steps up but it was worth it. Last stop was to a local restaurant for lunch, excellent, and back to hotel. We were both very glad we went on this trip, totally enjoyable. and yes it did rain.
Such an awesome and memorable experience. Isaac was amazing and hilarious. So glad we did this for our first trip to Puerto Rico.
Isaac is a fantastic tour guide. He was very informative and funny at the same time. Perfect amount of time at each location. We had a wonderful time!
This tour included some hiking and sightseeing at the tower, waterfall and natural pools. You could do whatever was comfortable for you. You did not have to get in the water if not comfortable. Our guide, Isaac, was wonderful. He was very energetic and knowledgeable and hopped up the trails like a jackrabbit. He informed us of the flora, animal world, and history of the forest as well as Puerto Rican culture. And he served lunch at our stop! Would highly recommend this tour.
This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Isaac was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He kept us entertained with unique facts about the history of PR and El Yunque. We saw a lot of unique plants and wildlife. Got to even hold a manatee. Thank you Isaac for this tour. Transportation was also great! They did provide free water to keep us hydrated throughout. Be prepared to HIKE
This was an amazing experience. Ingrid was our guide and we really appreciated her knowledge, attentiveness, and great personality. We enjoyed the three stops and had the best food our entire trip on this tour! I dream about this experience.
This was the perfect tour after our cruise ended, we had a lot of time before our flight out. Our guide was easy going, fun, and knowledgeable, we learned a lot during our tour and got to the airport with plenty of time to spare
Fantastic tour. I took my 14-year-old and my 5-year-old. The guide was extremely punctual with pickup and drop off. The guide was very knowledgeable and from the moment we sat down to being dropped off we were giving information about the beautiful culture in Puerto Rico The rainforest was absolutely breathtaking and I would definitely book to go again.
Wow, what an amazing time. Isaac was bar far the best guild we’ve experienced in a long time. We travel often always taking tours. We booked this tour last minute the day before, we were unsure if the hike and swim would be enjoyable and I’m so glad we went. Isaac is very proud of PR and he shares sooo much great information. We got to hike, swim and even stopped at the falls for pictures. At the end he took us to a local roadside food location for lunch where we had authentic PR food. Rice, Mofongo and soooo much more.
It was great!! Isaac was very knowledgeable . He was very familiar with the fauna of the Yunque and told us about local culture/history.
Great trip that is educational, fun, cultural experience, environmental awareness and great hike, swim n local foods
Gave incredible information about El Yunque. Tour guide Issac was amazing and kept everyone having a fun time.
Simple , slow, not very adventurous.
An unforgettable experience at El Yunque! 🌿✨ Taking this tour of El Yunque was simply wonderful from start to finish. Right from the start, communication was seamless, clear, and super attentive, which puts you at ease even before the tour begins. A special shout-out to our guide—their warmth, kindness, and dedication made all the difference. You can truly tell when someone loves what they do; they didn't just guide us through incredible landscapes, but also made sure to pay attention to every detail so each of us could enjoy the experience to the fullest. On top of that, the group's vibe was an absolute delight. Sharing the day with such wonderful people truly made the experience complete and so special. We laughed, had a blast, and created beautiful memories together. If you're looking to explore El Yunque with top-notch service, genuine warmth, and a first-rate guide, look no further! 100% recommended. 🇵🇷❤️
Bring a rain poncho, there will be rain. Take advantage of the opportunities to swim. Thoroughly enjoyable! Great view from the tower.
Ingrid was amazing and so knowledgeable, she made sure we were safe at all times and it was truly awesome learning all the facts about the island and the forest itself
This was a fantastic experience! Our driver, Isaac, was a sweet young man with knowledge of his country's history. He was great at pointing out historical sites on our way to the rainforest. Great experience and great driver. I highly recommend this company and the driver, Isaac!
Great experience in the rainforest. We were able to take the trail that lead to an area with a water hole, drive by a waterfall (stopped to take pictures) and went to a viewing tower with panoramic views. I didn't want to go down a waterfall so this your was perfect. We were able to eat a quick lunch and grab souvenirs on the way back down. Our guide Ingrid was so informative about the area, Taino history and the native plants!
I enjoyed myself. It's worth booking the tour!
Tour was great! Issac picked us up from our hotel and gave us some history and interesting facts along the way to the rainforest. Our time at the rainforest was fun. The nearly mile round-trip hike was pretty easy and was nice to get out and walk for a little bit.
My driver and tour guide were amazing, great experience glad I went!
Our tour guide Ingrid was so kind and amazing. She talked about all the plants found in El Yunque and the way they are used to help for ailments. She entertained my kids with how rocks create different colors. She took our pictures and even made a pit stop to enjoy great food in El Yunque. Great investment.
Read many mentions of how amazing Ingrid is as a guide. They are so true. You can tell this is her passion. This was such an educational experience for me and my daughter. So fun!
Isaac picked us up on time at the hotel. Isaac was super warm, funny and engaging. He was very knowledgeable of the forest, the plants, and various species of insects. It is a recommended experience.
Trip was good but not really very informative. We also were not offered any water during the trip. All in all it was ok
Louis was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history
Isaac was knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour was great. Beautiful, fun, and relaxing. Highly recommend!
Ingrid is very genuine, knowledgeable and easy-going. The tour was not hard, 4 stops including swimming river, observation tower, la coco waterfall and lunch spot. Perfect for people who don’t want to get all wet or do anything strenuous
fastest and smartest guide out there! worth every penny, and would highly recommend.
