Amazing private tour with very fun and knowledgeable guides. I went on this tour all by myself, having no idea that it was a private tour and I had a blast. Cueva del Indio is not only full of fascinating culture and history but surrounded by gorgeous ocean views. And Cueva Ventana (which you will go with a dedicated guide and group) is amazing as well! Definitely an amazing company to book through considering the very reasonable price for a private tour. And the guides were so knowledgeable and a lot of fun to talk to! Highly recommend!

We were dropped off without a guide at Luquillo Beach. It was supposed to be a nature walk in the rainforest. Very misleading advertisement.

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.

Rafael was highly knowledgeable and a true expert! He was even teaching other tour guides on the trail. Very professional and a true bespoke experience. I would not have done this on my own, or even with a group with more than 6 people. We had some beginners in our group and having Rafael in the group gave them confidence in traversing some of the more difficult terrain.
