Narayan was awesome! Funny, warm, and full of knowledge. He guided us every (literal) step of the way, walking down the path to the waterfall. He walked us through climbing up the waterfall cliff. We were scared but he was so encouraging and patient with us, right by our side. I jumped off all three ledges and it was one of the coolest days of my life. Highly recommend!!

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.

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

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 :)

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).

My boyfriend has NEVER swam in any large body of water, and through the encouragement and support of Jerry he JUMPED off a 10ft cliff. !! Great hike... so much to explore... went to a local restaurant after. Jerry is passionate about Puerto Rico and he definitely shares the love by taking people on his tour to local restaurants to patron. Very knowledgeable about Puerto Rican history, landmarks, and anything else you maybe curious to know!! He was funnyyyy, friendly, organized, & informative.

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.

This tour was amazing!!! Don't think twice about this purchase because it is totally worth it. Our tour guide was well-informed of the history of the caves and the indigenous people of Puerto Rico. Not only that our tour guide was extremely helpful with getting me to climb inside the cave. I was very scared but he helps me the entire way through. He literally let me step on his feet to help me get inside the cave! It was well worth it though because inside the cave was absolutely beautiful and I'm glad that I conquered that task. If we explored the caves on our own and without a tour guide we wouldn't have even known that little cut in the cave was there and we wouldn't have seen the beauty of the cave. If I go to Puerto Rico again I'll definitely get the tour for anyone I bring.
