Maxine and Rene were wonderful. The natural water slides were much faster and a bit more dangerous than expected, thank goodness for the helmets and life jackets

Exciting and awesome
John_c, May 2023
Maxine and Amauri were excellent tour guides. The tour was very organized and well passed. We had an awesome time climbing up to the water slide, the jump off and the swing rope. The water felt amazing and refreshing. It was also very convenient for them to take pictures of the entire excursion and not having to worry about bring your belongings and losing them was a nice convenience. It was a wonderful experience.

El Yunque Trip
Thomas_V, May 2023
The tour guides were fun and answered all of our questions! They took us through a trail that lead to a small river. From this point, there were more options to either get more adventurous and go through a steeper incline, or stay in the river and enjoy the views of the waterfall. Before heading back, the guides cut up some local fruits and shared them with the crew.

Sarah_M, Apr 2023
Amazing time on the rainforest tour! My husband, teenagers and I all had so much fun! The guides were awesome - thanks Paola and… not sure how to spell but guide with the goatee. The rainforest was spectacular and the natural slide, rock jumps and rope swing were super fun! Definitely a most do when in Puerto Rico.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us!
Very well guided tour to the water slide, rope swings and cliff jump!
Daniel_W, Apr 2023
This trip was excellent! Island Journeys (the organization that put this together) clearly had this very well organized and planned. The guides had a very clear plan and executed it precisely. Paola, Bradley, and Yanu (sp?) we’re wonderful. All of them were very personable, eager to answer rain forest questions, tourist questions about other activities (ie where the nearest good snorkeling beach), and to check-in on the group as we rock scrambled, etc. This tour company clearly focuses on safety as we were one of the few groups that had helmets and life jackets for the rock slides. Our guides also seemed more attentive and supportive than many of the others doing the similar journey. The guides blended in some discussions of rain forest ecology, island history, and cultural connections. They also gave good clear directions on how navigate the slides and obstacles. This was a great tour that had well thought out plans for how to make the journey enjoyable for guests at every stage. (What it is not is a lengthy hike in the rain forest. The hike through the rain forest was maybe half a mile with a fairly large group. This trip is definitely the way to go in order to get to the water slid, cliff jump and rope swings, not necessarily to have a peaceful, introspective hike in the rain forest.) Huge shout-out to our wonderful guides, Paola, Yanu, and Bradley!!!

Margaret_B, Apr 2023
Nuttallia and Bradley were terrific guides! I was a bit anxious about some of the climbing, and especially the jump off a high rock into the water. They were supportive and kind. And I’m so glad I did it.
