This action pack day will start by visiting two natural rock waterslides, one for beginners and another for the adrenaline seekers, swimming in natural water holes and jumping from rocks. Then will head to a serene freshwater natural pool where the more adventurous will be able to jump from a rope swing and others will just float, swim or relax in the river bank. All this surrounded by green lush areas and after first doing a short hike to admire the local plants and trees. End up this perfect day by relaxing at a beautiful popular beach with few waves and calm waters. In this excursion we will not enter the official El Yunque National Rainforest for sightseeing, but rather visit the less touristy spots and local water fun areas on the outskirts of the Rainforest for a more adventurous experience. This tour requires some physical fitness, balance, hiking and basic swimming skills. Minimum age is 3 years old. Minimum tour group size is 4 people.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Parking Fees, Bottled water, Life Vests if requested

Exclusions: Lunch, Gratuities

This tour was the most amazing experience I have ever been on. I have visited several places and done many tours but this one was one for the books. Yamile is amazing and so friendly she is a one woman show so if you book this tour you will be delighted by her presence. The pictures don’t do it justice! You swim through caves, swim in water and hike until your heart is content. It is a bit physical, I am not a physically fit person and never exercise but I made it. The worst part is the steep incline back to the bus. I wouldn’t recommend trying if you have a hard time walking or climbing. Yamile will call you the day before to go over everything with you which is so nice to have someone that truly cares about your experience. If you want a fun adventure this is it!! I recommend eating a good breakfast before going and lunch was very tasty and reasonably priced. Yamile if you’re reading this I just want you to know you’re the best and our new PR family :)

We had so much fun. The guides are very organized and enjoy meeting all the people. We never felt like we could get hurt. They made sure each person had fun. From a little 9 year old that had the time of his life. That made our trip that he could do this with us and for mom (me) that was able to go and not watch everyone else go, waiting with him. Thank you for taking care of our family so well. We went up the mountain and on the way back saw it and I said let’s go again. So worth it!!!!! We had 9, 11, 16, 18, 20, 43 and 45. Fun for all.

Firstly, my mother, 7yr old niece and I waited outside for the guy to pull up asking for a name not mine until I got a call saying my car was out front then the guy was like "oh I was looking at the wrong name"... Ok in the sprinter we go. We stopped at this stand to purchase food and stuff. Food was not good. I'm full puerto rican and I didn't like it but I guess everyone cooks different. The smoothie had too much brown syrup as well so we threw that away. We had one more family of three to join so that took damn near 30 mins to actually find them. Finally at the rainforest and all we did was go straight to the lake to swim... Not what I expected. Then the beach were we stayed 3 hours. The tour guy recommend the #2 restaurant which was the most expensive... DO NOT GO THERE THEY NASTY! Even the other people said it was horrible. The beach itself was beautiful but you can see the oil in the sand from the jet ski so I didn't want to go in or have my baby go in either. Second sprinter came late for the kayaking experience. That was the main part great about the whole trip. We saw stars like never before. The sparkle is nothing like the picture so don't expect much. They gave us snacks and then another long ride to the hotel. Good thing we were the second drop off.

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.

Simply the best customer service experience I've had with a tour company!!! Before arriving to Puerto Rico, I started looking for tours and nothing was available due to the recent COVID restriction updates. When I called Caribbean Breeze, Kyle was so helpful in sharing those restrictions with me and offered to get us on a waitlist. He kept in touch throughout the week and managed to get us this tour to Icacos. The tour was so much fun, the snorkeling was fantastic and the rum drinks were delicious! I highly recommend booking with Caribbean Breeze.

A group of 4 of us joined the Rainforest, Bio Bay, Luquillo Beach Trio Tour. We were very disappointed about Rainforest section as the we barely got into the river of the rainforest and was there almost 3 hours in one place and didn’t get to go to any of the waterfalls, Yokahu, and Bano Oreo as described in the itinerary. When we asked the tour guide and was told the falls and other items were shut down to tour due to pandemic. While that might be the case, the itinerary should, at the very least, informed us of such since the pandemic is more than a year now. In looking at most recent review, we noticed a photo of the waterfall was taken. Of course, we didn’t know when the tour was even though the review was recent. The itinerary calls for 3 hours for the rainforest, 2 hours on the beach, 2 hours for the Bio Bay. We actually spent 3 hours on the beach. While the beach was nice, there is no public facility. You need to either go in one of the kiosk restaurants or gift shops to ask to use their bathroom. The Bio Bay is the nicest one. Tour guides David and Michael were great. Victor who checked us in was also great. I would rate the the Rainforest section 2 stars at best. The beach at 3 stars and Bio Bay at 5. We hope this tour company would update their website and Trip Advisor description so it doesn’t miss lead anyone. Had we known this, we would have just signed up for the Bio Bay and save time and money not signing up the trio one!
