4Long drive but enjoyed the hike in
My expectations were probably a little high going in. The views on top of the mountains were beautiful and the short hike( maybe 20 minutes) weren’t too bad either. You really don’t need swim or water shoes if you no plans to get in the river.
5Great experience thanks to Louis!
Louis was absolutely amazing. Was very patient with our group of 11. Very knowledgeable and kept us motivated throughout the hike. We enjoyed the experience 10 x more because of him. 10/10 would do again!
5Great tour with Charles
This tour was very interesting...Charles was a great guide and we learned a lot about Puerto Rico and the rainforest. The visitor center at the end of the trip was very nice and had a cafe if you want to buy a snack.
3Rainforest light
Not as described in the catalog. We expected more of a hiking and water adventure. Charles our guide accommodated our request for stop at water rapids.
5First time to El Yunque
We truly enjoyed this tour. Our guide Charles was very informative and super passionate which made the experience that much better.
5The perfect tour guide mixed with a beautiful location
First of all, our tour guide Charles was amazing. He made the trip perfect from beginning to end. We had a timely pick up from the hotel, and got dropped back off at the front door. The vehicle was clean and the entire ride there we discussed local history and he had so many fun facts. There wasn't a dull moment! The tour itself was just the right amount of walking, and the right amount of driving and sightseeing. Charles was extremely knowledgeable. The forest itself was beautiful and it was easily one of the best parts of my trip. I was there with my nephew, my mom, my brother, and my sons. We had people from the ages of 8 to 60-something, and it was easily navigated by all.
