Great experience! The tour guide was knowledgeable. I will recommend this tour to get a taste of our rainforest and Luquillo beach!

Transportation to and from the hotel was great. We had Jaime again as our tour guide. He was good about talking about Puerto Rico history and life on the island for the 45 minute mini bus drive to the rain forest. The nature walk was a very mild, very small hilly walk. My 80 year handled it just fine and she's not too sturdy on her feet. It was a little taste of the rain forest. The only other walk was back into a pocket of water called the Banyo Grande. Again another easy walk. Other than this, the bus took you to the sites where you could take pics. Jaime will take your pic for you, just ask him. Luquillo Beach was beautiful! It was a nice to cool off in clear ocean water where the beach was made up of FINE brown sand. There was a couple of small outdoor restaurants to grab some lunch. My big disappointment in this trip was that the beach time was listed as 2.5 hours. However, we were only allowed to stay about 1 hour and 45 minutes. We were even back at our hotel an hour before the scheduled return time. I guess Jaime wanted to get home to his family. : We needed all the 2.5 hours just to have a quick lunch and spend some time on this gorgeous beach. Other than this one thing, this trip is worth booking.

Jaime our tour guide was super knowledgeable and very nice. He has a great sense of humour that kept us laughing through the entire tour. The beach was amazing and beautiful. The water was calm and the food there was great too. All in all a great experience!

The rainforest tour was very short, we spend maybe 20 minutes walking in the forest, the rest of the time was driving and stopping here and there. There are other tours of the rainforest in which you really spend 2 hours or more hiking. Next time we'll do that, because the rainforest is really worth it, I wish we had spend more time there. This combined tour supposedly combines two different things, but at the end you don't have enough time to enjoy. As for the beach, it's an OK beach, nothing spectacular, and also we went there Sunday and it was full of locals, really crowded. I'd recommend another tour that takes you with a boat/catamaran to one of the islands, the beaches there are excellent and not crowded. If you really want to see the Luquillo Beach just take an Uber or rent a car and go there yourself, it's a public beach, lots of facilities, easy access. Also this particular tour was shorter than promised, we were supposed to come back at 5pm, he returned us at the hotel at 3:30pm. I wish we had spend the missing 1.5 hours in the forest, then I'd give it higher rating. But as it is now, I wouldn't do it again.

Very good trip but the price seemed excessive for what was offered.

This was an interesting tour. I had signed up for the tour that included more hiking in the forest, and seeing a few waterfalls. This was a good taste of the some areas that I will return to, and hopefully have enough interest to see.

I was disappointed with this tour. Our group of 7 made 4 stops in El Yunque Visitors Center, La Coca Falls, Yokahu Tower, and Juan Diego Falls in about 2.5 hours. It was basically a stop-and-go van tour with little commentary and no hiking. Juan Diego Falls was the highlight. We then had a 2-hour 20 per person lunch at the Desperado followed by a visit to Luquillo Beach 2 hr. Our tour guide Javier is personality-plus but seemed bent on cutting the day short until a couple of us reminded him it was a full day tour. I would recommend this tour to a friend as an introduction to El Yunque/Luquillo Beach, not as a hiking experience Note: Viator's online description of this tour is confusing and should be corrected to avoid confusion.

Terrific tour and our guide was amazing. Full of good info and interesting facts about the rainforest. Trip culminated in a couple of relaxing hours on Luquillo beach. Thanks Carlos!!

This is a great tour for people wanting to see the highlights of the rain forest, try some local food and spend some time at one of the most beautiful Puerto Rican beaches. They pick you up at your hotel if your hotel is on the list, and from there, you just get to sit back and enjoy the view mostly. Carlos was amazing! He was our driver/tour guide and was very knowledgeable. The forest is beautiful and the local food for lunch is definitely something everyone should try. Luquillo beach is gorgeous! The water was calm and the view of the mountains was breathtaking. As someone who wasn't too interesting in renting a car, this was the perfect solution to get to these places with someone who not only knows the area, but also knows the history.

Great tour. The beach was the best part. The entire tour is worth it just for the beach.
Review by: Robert B, July 2016
This tour, was at best, mediocre. To be fair, we went on July 5th, the day after a big holiday. We went to the beach first, which was probably a mistake in retrospect. The beach was filthy and the bathrooms were beyond disgusting and unusable. I wouldn and #39;t do this tour again.

Ricky was our guide and a great one! He told us all kinds of history and knowledge of San Juan on our drive to the rainforest. Then he guided us all around the hiking paths and found frogs and other small animals and told us all about them and the forest plants. Then we stopped for lunch at a small stand with Puertorican food, Then off to the beautiful!! beach of Luquillo. Lovely. Again Ricky is a very good guide and does his job well. He made our day!
