SMALL Rainforest group tour to El Yunque with private guide and hotel pick up

So, this is billed as the "Instagram tour" of Old San Juan, El Yunuque and the beach. We absolutely hit the major sites around Old San Juan... the fortresses, umbrella alley, churches etc. As expected. We got to Luquillo and did the kiosks for great food and booze. The beach itself was a 6/10 : the beach was long weekend crowded, the sand had a bit of trash in it and the water wasn't very clear but it was enjoyable. Both experiences had lots of Instagram worthy sights and opportunities. I was advised to have a change of clothing and shoes I wouldn't mind getting wet...sneakers preferred. I surmised correctly that this was for the rain forest. Bruh. We were in for a HIKE! It's a rain forest...I expected some muddy paths and a few bugs. I didn't expect to have to hold on to tree roots, wade through shallow parts of a river and squelch my way through mud covered, rock trails to the fun surprise in the middle of El Yunque. People need to be better prepared for this part of the day. Gianni/John/Johnny was fun, funny, knowledgeable and extremely helpful the entire tour. He was vitally important during the hike (which he did in sandals by the way). Great driver. He made excellent recommendations for places to eat and drink. He timed things perfectly and kept the group together. Give that guy a raise!

Absolutely horrible! Would give no stars but it won’t let me. Booked it months ago, thought everything was set. Week prior tried contacting them to set pick up and was told they do not pick up to meet at the Port. Day off, they were not in weight, called them (2 different numbers) and phones were disconnected, no way AT ALL to reach them, waited 45mins at supposed set pick up destination and no one ever showed nor called. To me experience this was a complete scam!!!

Probably the most underrated tour I saw while planning our girls trip to Puerto Rico. It's SO much more than expected. First of all, this tour lasted about 13 hrs from pickup to drop off and was worth every min. Our tour guide Alex/Brian, we still don't know what his real name was, was sweet, educational, accommodating and just had the best disposition for the job. We started off going to El Yunque for a moderate but short hike where our guide led us to a beautiful clear river and allowed us to soak for about an 45 mins. People were jumping off cliffs and rope swing and everyone was just having a great time! At this point we had an option to continue to hangout or go off to the water slide. I opted to stay behind but my friend went to the slide and really enjoyed it. The trek up is climbing is more challenging and steep. Remember you have to come back down the same way so if height, altitude or rough terrain aren't for you skip this portion. Total time at El Yunque was about 3 hours. We then headed to Loquillo Beach where we ate, shopped and took in the vast beauty at the beach. We went on Memorial Day so it was over packed with locals but that didn't bother us, afterall restrictions has just been lifted. It was just as beautiful to see all the families enjoying the day and each other. Finally we headed down to Old San Juan where we made a few stops at some of the most iconic spots for our photo ops. All in all, it was just a fantastic day and we really enjoyed all the company along the way. The whole group was fun.

The experience was absolutely wonderful. The tour guide Alex took great care of us ! The rainforest part was oir favorite. Lots of hiking but was well worth it !

Hector is the perfect tour guide. Put on your walking shoes because this tour is extensive! We started in old San Juan & moved to la perks overlooking the water. We stopped for gelato then headed up the mountains to the forest! Once there we took a 15 minute hike climbing up & down rocks & hills until we ended at a beautiful waterfall in el yunque. 100/100 would definitely recommend if you enjoy nature/outdoor excursions

Incredible experience! We visited key spots in San Juan for beautiful photo ops. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the trails in El Yunque and made sure everyone had an amazing and safe experience. His insider knowledge was super helpful and informative. The beach in Luquillo was beautiful and his restaurant recommendations were on point.

Love my tour guide. This is a moat try also for walking and climbing but a very fun and rainforest was so pretty.

I love this tour !!! Hector was great. The pictures he took of us on the waterfalls was everything!! He will literally be your personal photographer!!! Highly recommend. The hike was scary at some points wear good grip tennis shoes (don’t wear vapormax) you will fall lol.

Hector, our tour guide was amazing!!! Funny, patient, and knowledgeable!! Great photographer!!! Trip is def a must!!! Overall, it was a fun experience!

Overall it was a really fun day! We were picked up from the hotel entrance early. We were asked to be there at 6:30am but eventually were picked up at 7:15ish. We had another stop for more people and then went to old San Juan for a few stops to take photos. It was early and weather wasn’t that hot so that was great. We than went back on the van for a 40 minutes ride to the rainforest. We had a stop an the way at a local supermarket to use the restroom, change cloths if needed and buy food and water. Then it was time to hike! We especially enjoyed the muddy walk and the cool water at the waterfall. Some people jumped from the cliff but we did not. I kind of regret not doing it... (we went to Walmart the day before and bought cheap tennis shoes which were left at the hotel at the end. So glad we did because the mud was at ankle height and the hike was slippery due to rain the day before). The last stop at the beach was a little too long for us (3 hours). I’d rather have more stops at old San Juan instead. Overall a fun day I had with my teenager girl. Tour guides were so nice, energetic and fun!
