A Fun Adventure - The guys Luis (the Plug) & Lenny were awesome. Very funny, friendly and helpful. The only thing I would say is that the bus was very hot & we couldn't feel the air. Make sure you're in shape to take the hike on the slippery rocks. It was an adventure for sure!

El Yunque Tour(Luis and Lenny) - The views that my girlfriend and I had were amazing. We toured with Lenny and Luis, and they were absolutely amazing the whole time. I definitely recommend doing this excursion, and requesting for them. Had everyone on their toes the entire time, and was just simply an amazing experience. The two definitely assisted us in having nothing shorter than an amazing time exploring Puerto Rico.

Unforgettable - Papi chulo was our guide and he was amazing, made sure the group felt comfortable and kept the vibe going! He took photos and videos of everyone so if you forgot you’re waterproof phone case don’t worry! Highly recommend water shoes, bathing suits or tanks and shorts you don’t mind getting dirty! Lots of mud 😅

Rainforest and Luquillo Beach Adventures with José!! - José was the best tour guide, definitely one of the best excursions I have been on! Jose was extremely helpful and patient as we navigated our way to and from a gorgeous Rainforest with amazing waterfalls. He made sure everyone was comfortable and got the most out of their time. José helped me make my natural waterslide dreams come true. We also had the best time at Luquillo Beach, enjoy local drinks and Puerto Rican cuisine. Thanks José!!!
