5At 3000+ Ft Elevation
Jose was well informed about El Yunque National Rainforest and very friendly to top it off. Looking at Mt. Britton Lookout Tower from below might feel daunting; a step at time will get you to the top of it. Great experience. Would recommend
5Amazing views of the island
this trip is not a causal walk. you should wear sturdy shoes for walking up hill about a mile. our guide Luis was excellent, pointing out local flowers, insects and history. Winding roads up to the hiking spot, beautiful waterfalls and a last stop for. a dip in the river. bring water and money for a mid trip snack.
5Amazing day!
My guide José Enrique was AMAZING! Everything went really smoothly and the experience was one of a kind. The hike was medium difficultly which is exactly what I wanted. Lots of time to ask questions. I felt a little rushed at the river, but I understand the yunque hike was the main experience.
5Amazing 1st Tour
Can’t say enough about our tour guide, Diana Garcia, and the tour she led us on. We have a 6 and 8 year old and this was the perfect tour, especially for first timers. Be sure to ask for Diana if you book!
4Great guide, needs more trail time.
Great experience and Luis was an excellent guide. That said, for an 8-hour day, we wished more time was spent on the trails—an extra hiking segment would’ve made it feel complete. The lunch stop wasn’t worth the time, calories, or money. Would still recommend, but just expect a relaxed pace.
5A great tour
We had a wonderful tour guide, Juan. He was a skillful driver of the van, gave us so much information about the history of San Juan and the rain forrest plus you could just tell that he was enjoying being our tour guide. I would recommend the tour.
