      Tour with Myrllam
      Myrllam did an amazing job guiding the team and making sure that we are safe throughout the journey. The activities are fun and we had plenty of time to enjoy each checkpoints. She was also very friendly and encouraging when it comes to doing the challening routes like the water slide. I would definitely recommend toruing with her to my friends.

      Rainforest adventure!
      This trip is awesome! It was a little bit much for smaller kids. Our 7 year old got overwhelmed with all the mud and some of the climbs but our 10 yr old LOVED it and could completely keep up. All in all a great trip and one we would highly recommend. Our tour guide, Myrllam was excellent and made the trip a lot of fun. She clearly loves the rainforest and what she gets to do each day and it shows. She was very accommodating.

      THE BEST AND ONLY GUIDE YOU SHOULD TAKE
      They really know what they were doing, providing historical explanations and fun facts along the way. They were very experienced and careful to warn us which steps to take to make sure we don’t slip and there way always someone to give you a hand up it you had trouble. They brought us to a waterfall/waterslide, a cliff jump and then a rope swing. They also finished 20 minutes early so we got to do the rope swing into the water 2-3 times. They took pictures and videos of everything, including candid ones. I was initially going to rent a car and do it on my own but i am SO grateful i didn’t. You CANNOT do this rainforest without their guidance and they were amazing!!! And you SHOULD not go without Hansel and his team! They even gave us snacks to hold us over until lunch and shared professional pictures that were taken

      AMAZING.
      An amazing experience! Hanser was such a fun tour guide. He wanted us to get the most out of the experience, and we surely did! He was such a vibe, and we had a great time! It felt like we were all friends doing this experience together. The hike itself wasn’t very hard to do, and it was a ton of fun to do the water slides and jump off the cliffs with Hanser taking all pictures and videos so we could leave with all the best pictures! 10/10!!!!

    This was a really fun adventure for our family, ages 14, 24 x2 and 47. The guides were great and helpful. Expect mud, lots of mud. Embrace the mud. Be prepared to climb up and down rocks and roots. We all did the rock jump, rope swing and slide. The guides took videos of each of us on the slide, swing and rock jump with their phones and air dropped them to one of us in the group at the end. If you want to take your own phone, you will want a waterproof case/bag. Venders had them for sale on site for $8-10$. You will give your car keys to one of the guides and they will store them in a bag. There is not a shuttle. You meet at the designated meeting spot and follow the guide and group to the park. You will then leave on your own and depend on GPS. There was a vender selling empanadas (chicken and beef) for $3 that were the best we had on the trip, full of meat, cheese and flavor! I would definitely recommend this adventure.

    I recently went on a guided rainforest hike in Puerto Rico with a tour guide named Lazaro, and it was an unforgettable experience! Despite my initial fears, Lazaro was incredibly encouraging and knowledgeable. He made the entire hike enjoyable and educational, pointing out various plants and wildlife along the way. His expertise and reassuring demeanor helped me feel safe and confident throughout the journey. I highly recommend this tour and Lazaro as a guide for anyone looking to explore the beautiful rainforests of Puerto Rico!

    The water slides/waterfalls/rope swing hike was amazing!
    Hanser and Raymond (brothers) were fantastic guides-they were funny, engaging, very knowledgeable about the local plants, and very safety-conscious.
    They brought waterproof bags to store our cameras and phones when we reached the point where we all got into the water. Those who opted not to do the (very thrilling and adventurous) rock water slides stayed aside for that little part. Those who opted to slide scrambled up higher to the top of the waterfalls, with both guides, who then helped us correctly slide down. They took videos of each of us sliding down, which was lovely, so we have the souvenir! At the end of the tour they AirDropped the pictures to us, group by group.
    The whole to our hike, once we met at the entrance to the rainforest and started walking, lasted about 2 or 2.5 hours. It rained hard in us for a little while, but we were all neck deep in the river by then so we did not mind the rain.
    We all had a blast! Me, my husband and our two friends were absolutely thrilled by the whole adventure and we felt so encouraged and safe and cared for by both Hanser and Raymond, who gave us arms to help us over the slippery rocks and provided encouragement when some of us were a little nervous:-)
    I recommend this tour 100%
    Thank you!!

    My boyfriend and I did this hike together and really enjoyed it! It was amazing to be in the rain forest and our guides Lazaro and Pedrito were very knowledgable and kept everyone safe.

    Please be aware this is a TOUGH hike! It wasn’t hard in physical exertion, but it was tedious and required lots of awareness and balance. You will be sliding down steep, muddy nooks and crannies on your bottom, wading through waist-deep water walking over slippery rocks, and scaling muddy cliffsides hanging on to a rope. That’s all before you get to the water slides and such.

    I would NOT recommend this trip to anyone who is not in at least moderate physical shape, nor children under 8.

    I wish there had been more communication all around. My boyfriend and I packed Tevas and sandals for the trip after the description and many reviews called it easy. We got a text the night before that they will not let you on the hike if you’re wearing Tevas, Crocs, water shoes, flip flops, or any open toed sandal. We had to make an emergency run to Walmart and buy some cheap sneakers.

    Be prepared to ruin your shoes and clothes. The mud is more of a red/orange clay and it does stain.

    Our guide also told us when we reached the swimming hole that it would be an 8 minute hike to the first water slide and whoever didn’t want to do it could stay at the swimming hole. I was a bit nervous and figured I’d hear from my boyfriend how the first slide went and then likely be convinced to do the second. After an HOUR of sitting by myself at the swimming hole, the group finally came back and told me they’d done all the water slides and we were going to start the hike back. So that was pretty disappointing and why I docked a star from our experience.

    All in all, if you prepare for a very physical hike, bring proper footwear, and embrace the mud- you’ll have a great time!

    One of the highlights of the week in Puerto Rico.. This was a family event and everyone enjoyed it. The tour guide (nicknamed Tarzan) was incredible patient ensuring everyone on the tour was able to get to the destination and had an opportunity to try the waterslides, cliff jumping and rope swings. I loved the fact that the hike had some levels of difficulty to it which made it more rewarding.

    We booked this tour because we got cancelled at very last minute by another one, and it turned out this tour is way better than our expectations! There were some hiccups before we got to the forest, but overall the instructions and meeting process is smooth. Britanny was our guide and she's full of energy and so nice, she took photos and videos for us when we do those water activities and always brought so much positivity and passion to the team. She also texted us recommendations of tourist attractions and restaurants and all kinds of that information after the tour. I would recommend this tour if you enjoy explore nature with a relatively large group.

    For those who really love adventure…hiking, climbing boulders, cliff jumping, rope swinging walking through streams and a fun tour guide this is the experience for you! Prepare to get dirty but having fun doing so! We apparently took a more difficult hike/route up to the activities that is definitely for those who are more advanced in fitness levels. There is an easier one but it depends on if the gate is open. If you’re concerned I would ask in advanced. I would highly highly recommend getting a waterproof case that hangs around your neck for your phone. Otherwise he recommends leaving your phone. What is really awesome is that he stops at certain areas to take pictures which he later on air drops to you!!! Loved that a lot and his phone takes really good pictures (iPhone 13). He was also gracious at some points to allow us to use his phone but our group was very small, I’m not sure if he’ll do it for big crowd. He was very helpful and made sure everyone was very safe. Some of the girls were afraid to cliff jump and he held his patience and compassion. He didn’t force anybody or get upset if they didn’t want to jump. He simply let them think through and was holding his phone to take the video if they decided to do so. (He took videos of every experience for everyone) 10/10 coming back to do his tour. He offered chips and water for snacks at the end of the tour. He also provided life jackets.

    The views were amazing, the guide Alejandro was the best. I'm not experienced in hiking and he and his team took their time to assist where needed. They are very knowledgeable about the forest and it's habitat. I'm not gonna lie, because I'm inexperienced with hiking, this was extremely tough for me. I highly recommend walking shoes because you will feel the rocks in water shoes, and there are A LOT of rocks. You have to climb up and down very narrow passages, which can be extremely scary at times. Because I had on water shoes, i slipped and hurt my knee. But over all I really enjoyed myself, so did me husband. We met some really cool people in our group that kept each other motivated to keep pushing on.

    What an incredible adventure, and our guide, Sebastian, was amazing and knowledgeable. The hike in for this 50 year old woman was a little challenging but totally doable, especially with such a patient and kind guide. We did the 10:00 a.m. tour, which I highly recommend, because by the time we were coming back down, there were tons of other groups arriving (we literally had the whole place to ourselves initially).
    Loved everything about this true "bucket list" adventure, and I definitely recommend this tour company.

    Michael and Paola made our trip to El Yunque a big success. Our family of 6 had an amazing time wading, climbing, jumping, swimming, and rope swinging. I wasn't aware there would be so much physicality to it - (climbing a 60 ft mud wall!) - but it's fine if you're in decent shape. My boys ages 6-18 absolutely loved all of it and probably could've stayed for hours more. Michael did a great job in guiding us to the right spots, and was very patient with my 6 year old when he wanted to do the rope swing over and over! He took the time to teach him how to hold on, how to hold his legs, when to let go, etc. He and Paolo took pics of us and were kind enough to airdrop them afterwards. He even held my phone for me and kept it dry. All in all, a great time that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting PR! Oh, be sure to wear old athletic shoes & don't plan to be clean when this is all said and done! You'll be glad you did.
