Itinerary
Embark on a half-day forest tour for your amusement. We will drive to a great area in the foothills of the Rain Forest with permit YNF-22007. The tour will start with an interpretative hike in the forest. You will be able to learn about the fascinating Puerto Rican Flora, Fauna Geography, and History. In the area, you will also be able to swim in a beautiful river pool. Swinging from a rope to the river is optional but highly recommended. After the visit to the forest, you will taste authentic local snacks like “empanadas” and “alcapurrias” in a very authentic kiosk. On the way back to the metropolitan area the drive will give you some recommendations of restaurants, and things to see and do on this beautiful island called Puerto Rico.

5Great 1/2 day intro to the Rain Forest
A good 1/2 day tour of the rain forest which included direct hotel pick up, transport to the forest, a short hike with flora and fauna identification and history. Stops included waterfall viewing, Yokahu Tower, and a short swim in a beautiful local river. All along the way our driver, Luis, spoke extensively of the forest and provided great aspects of the wildlife and plant life as well a the history of the forest. At the various stops, Luis also sought out and showed the group animals, insects, and specific plants. Round-trip drive to and from San Juan was roughly 2 hrs, and then about 2.5 hrs in the forest. Recommend this trip for a short and very enjoyable intro to the forest.
5Great experience!
Diana was amazing! The sites and tour were awesome. Highly recommend.
5Great Half Day Hike through El Yunque & Swimming After with Luis
Luis was an excellent tour guide! Our hike through El Yunque Rainforest was magnificent! Luis has an amazing eye! He spotted so much along our way. His knowledge of El Yunque's nature went far beyond what I would have hoped on this hike. We also went to a swimming area which was very refreshing & very welcomed. I would definitely recommend that anyone interested in a hike through El Yunque to consider this excursion with Luis.
510/10
Diana was awesome and very informative! Would 10/10 go back! Just the right amount of time to still be able to come back to San Juan and go to the beach! The Forrest is beautiful full of life!
2The old van was noisy and...
The old van was noisy and the ride was very bumpy.. Rainforest was muddy - bring appropriate shoes.Our tour guide was sweet but so soft spoken we couldn’t hear her. The experience and stops were underwhelming. There was silence on our ride back to the hotel/ tour guide did not speak.
5True Rainforest experience
Local guide with extensive knowledge of area and park. He pointed out some little critters like snails and frogs plus interesting plants and trees. Not a strenuous hike if you are in reasonable shape (I need to get to the gym, ha ha). Of course we had a downpour (this is common) so plan accordingly. Weather was mild so I didn’t mind. We took a short dip in the water near the end. Kind of a strange spot but I was happy to refresh before my flight home. While lunch was not included, we stopped at a hut on the way back to town and sampled just about all the meats, rice and a deep fried tasty thing. Pretty reasonable! Small snafu with the booking but it all worked out (it was an error on Viators side which I alerted the company to.)
