Raphael was amazing! His knowledge of the country allows him to educate others. I love how he loves the earth. I would definitely use him as a tour guide. He assisted my friend with the hike. Very patient. I applauds him.

Best, most amazing activity I’ve ever done, literally anywhere in the world! Better than all the skydiving, white water rafting, hang gliding, para sailing, para gliding, spalunking, surfing, etc I’ve done before - seriously, this adventure was the most fun I’ve ever had. Andre & Desey are so skilled that you feel as comfortable as one can possibly feel going rappelling down waterfalls in the rainforest (don’t worry, the thrill adds to the excitement & you feel invincible when you conquer your first waterfall rappel!). The same is true of their skills for the hiking & rock climbing. Andre rappels like a spider & Desey scales rock walls like freakin Spider-Man (except better cause she doesn’t need webs). But beyond that, they really go out of their way to ensure everyone has the best time. Our group of 6 from 3 different places had so much fun that despite not meeting before that day, we met up again for dinner our last night in Puerto Rico. That was all due to Andre & Desey making the experience so fun that friendships were inevitable. There’s no way I’ll visit PR without making sure they’re free to take me & friends rappelling down waterfalls cause WOW! You also get the most incredible views, learn about the rainforest (not El Yunque; this is a private reserve, which makes it extra special cause no one else is around!), and swim in natural pools at the bottom of the waterfalls (on the rappelling trip). I can’t emphasize enough how magical this experience was. Andre & Desey, thank you for giving me & Ellie the time of our lives. We’ll be back!!

This excursion was a joke honestly. You kayak through a dark Water channel where you get eaten up by mosquitos and tangled with other kayakers because it’s so busy, to a big ass lagoon. You get with your group and they have you link all the kayaks in a row. When we asked where the glow is she took out a tarp and said we have to go under the tarp to see the glow. So here we are 6 canoes long under this big tarp, having to splash the water to barely see a little glow. Not at all what they advertise. Was a waste of time and money unless you enjoy kayaking and getting attacked by mosquitoes.

Hike with me on a real forest trail, cut and made by yours truly. This is tour is NOT in the rainforest. This trail, in the center of Puerto Rico that takes you to a breathtaking 130 foot waterfall. This perhaps may be the ONLY tour that you get it all. This 8 hour, small group hiking Adventure will take you to see the mountains, the country side of the island, the culture, eat the local food, be with and among the locals, swimming in waterfalls, hiking in the forest etc... During our hike to this breathtaking waterfall, there are natural swimming pools to jump in to and refresh. We will end our day of Fun and Adventure at a local restaurant to enjoy the local cuisine (at your own expense). 

Inclusions: Bottled water, Driver/guide, Professional guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off

Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase), Food and drinks (available for purchase), Gratuities, TIPS AND GRATUITIES ARE NOT INCLUDED BUT ARE VERY HIGHLY APPRECIATED

Puerto Rico El Yunque Rainforest Hiking to a Waterfall and Cliff Jumping Adventure Visiting our waterfalls, rivers, and forests is an event in and of itself. Let our secret spot blow your mind. Over 20 years of getting out there has led us to this enchanted marvel of a hike with swim and jump opportunities. Live an unmatched experience! At the riverbed you will find pools and a tall rock face. A truly majestic waterfall will be visible immediately as you enter the clearing from under the canopy. Amazing pictures galore! You will have the opportunity to swim and we will even show you a few places to jump from. The trail consists of an initial gentle sloping terrain (10 minutes) with another more inclined terrain (20 minutes) down to the waterfall. This trail has everything that you look forward to on a real true hike in the woods. You will make your way past wildflowers, passion fruit vines, and tropical hardwood trees. The wildlife consists of birds, snails, and others.

Felix and JC were great. We were staying at the Wyndham Rio Mar so we met them at their pickup spot Frutera Flores like 10 min away. I workout 6 times a week and run 8-10 mi every week. I still found this pretty challenging. I’m glad I started doing leg days! Lots of steep climbs, muddy paths, slippery rocks! It was worth it but please listen to the disclaimer. I’m so glad I had hiking shoes so I didn’t slip, highly recommended!!! The waterfall slides, cliff jumps, views were amazing and worth the climb. The first climb was tough but it gets even harder. There’s a spring pool if you rather not continue to the more challenging part. I loved every single moment but this is a very active tour but the most fun I had in Puerto Rico.
