Perfect way to escape the city - We had a fabulous day with Nate, our tour guide. There were four of us, and we had such a great time with the waterslides and hiking. The rainforest is about one hour from San Juan and worth the escape to get out in nature. The kids loved jumping off the cliff, rope swinging, and riding the natural slides. Be aware that there could be lots of people out in the rainforest with you.

Best day - Best day in Puerto Rico so far! Alejandro was wonderful! He took some lovely photos of us we wouldn't have gotten without him. He also guided us to all the beautiful spots. There were 3 of us and while all athletic, differing levels of ability so it was just perfect. Highly recommend!

Amazing private rainforest experience - The tour was great. Our tour guide was Rafael and he was great. Wealth of information, great sense of humor and very knowledgeable.
You should bring good shoes for hiking but expect them to get very muddy . Also wear shorts/shirt that you can get wet and dirty. Everything washes off.
You start your tour with a short hike through the rainforest, then you reach the waterfalls. Rafael explains very carefully where you can step, how to slide safely and gives you courage. The fruit stand that he typically uses was closed but he gave us a good alternative for lunch and we loved it.
It was a great trip which we highly recommend and was one of the highlights of our vacation. You have to be a bit adventures but everything is doable and not scary. It is worth the money for the private experience vs the large groups that go there.

Two Thumb Up! - Malcolm, our tour guide, was the best! He was friendly as could be and did a great job of making us feel safe and secure on this exhilarating outing. While not for the faint of heart, this excursion will quench the thirst of any adventurer who would like a bit of hiking, rock climbing, and cliff jumping to get their adrenaline pumping! El Yunque’s beautiful foliage, natural water slides, and rushing falls were beautiful to see and to enjoy! Two thumbs up!

An absolute must do! - Ian was a fantastic guide and made sure that everyone stayed safe. This was by far the most enjoyed activity by the family and most authentic. The hike was harder than I expected, but we were so pumped about the experience. Our older kids all enjoyed the rope swing and jumping off of the cliff. So thankful that we included this on our itinerary!
