Awesome trip - very interesting and our guide was very up on his history and all the different trees and flowers in the rain forest. Beautiful scenery and very pretty - great for pictures and to relax and enjoy nature. Definitely go and see the rainforest.

I was disappointed that we did not stop the El Portal visitors center. My guidebook and friends who did El Yunque on their own said the visitors center was a very useful stop. The guide told me that there was no time. Yet there was time for us to stop at a roadside food stand and shops for 30 minutes. This smells of the guide getting kickbacks and not really being interested in providing the customer with the best program to learn about the rainforest.

The rainforest in San Juan is definitely a must, but the tour itself did not exceed my expectation. Although the tour guide was knowledgeable, he was very unprofessional. Before the tour began, he went to a restaurant to get breakfast for a friend and drop it off. That wasn't listed in our itinerary. Then it was an awkward silent drive to the rainforest. Not cool.

It was a nice nature tour and the guide was entertaining and informational. It was less hiking than I would have liked but when re-reading the description, the tour delivered as promised. But, I would advertise this one to less active, older adults.

The tour guide was fantastic. Informative, entertaining and would do a trip with him again in a second. Papa Lion is very cool. The time was too short in the forest though.

I thought the waterfall was going to be full like in the picture but it was only a trickle. Also you couldn't swim in the water like the people in the picture because there was not enough water.

The price was very high for what the trip offered. The back seat of the bus was wet from the A/C leaking on it. There was not much to see - very few flowers and no birds or animal life.

I made sure to book this on my birthday and was very disappointed by the outcome. It was suppose to last five hours. Don't expect to go to the waterfall in the picture. The one you'll see is a fraction of the size, so don't bother bringing a bathing suit. We were in the rain forest for less than an hour, then the tour guide took us to a Puerto Rican eatery that we assume he either owned or was dating the girl that worked there. We didn't see a single trace of wildlife. Perhaps we should have booked the hiking tour.
