This trip was a lot of fun. The guide was very informative about the area. The trip doesn't allow for a detail exploration of the rain forest but does provide a very nice overview. If you have a limited time to explore, this excursion is a good choice.

I liked this tour. It was comfortable for a solo traveler. We saw one of the smaller waterfalls that we could've swam in, but it was too chilly that day. Also saw The Mina Falls and went up a tower for a cool view. We made a pit stop on the way back for really delicious PR food.

There was much more time spent in the van than in the rainforest. I would just explore the rainforest on your own or take a full day tour.

The El Yunque Rainforest tour was great. The waterfalls were beautiful, the guide was very knowledgeable, and we had a wonderful experience. Amazing to see the only tropical rainforest in the US national park system. I would highly recommend it.

Carlos was amazing and very knowledgeable of El YUNQUE history. I have been leaving in N.Y for 40 yrs., but visiting frequently and is the first time I want a tour guide to tell my husband and my daughters the history of El Yunque, soo beautiful and just 3 weeks before the terrible Hurricane Irma, so sad : . We went for the Half Day Tour which was enough for us, but if you are a good walker, go for the All Day tour. Thank you for a beautiful day in Borinquen.

Wow, just wow! This tour far exceeded my expectations. Our host/driver Frances was simply amazing, with a great knowledge of Puerto Rico and an energetic demeanor. She was funny and kept our group of 9 a perfect size for this kind of excursion entertained throughout the 5 hour trip. The coach was smooth and well air-conditioned, and hotel pickup was a breeze. The waterfall is obviously what you're there to see and it is truly a marvel ...but it was the Yokahu Tower, an observation point overlooking the mountains that really took my breath away! It was so beautiful up there. We stayed a perfect amount of time at each, in my opinion. The hike through the woods was also perfect, just enough to satisfy your adventurous spirit but not overly strenuous either - people of all ages can take this trip with ease and comfort. It was great to get a pina coloda at the roadside food spot before dropping our group off. Overall, this was a lasting memory that I highly recommend you try. Great experience!!!

First off, our tour guide Riccardo was amazing. He was funny, energetic and very informative. If you're someone looking for a laid back, picture opportunity, then you'll probably enjoy this tour. You basically spend the entire time in the van and stop at a few places for pictures. I, as was most of my tour group, was under the impression there would be some actual hiking involved. There wasn't. We walked on one trail for about two minutes to go see a man-made waterfall. If you're looking to actually see the rainforest, you'd be better off renting a car and exploring on your own.

Although we did have a great time, I was under the impression that this tour would involve more hiking. The majority of the time was spent in the van traveling from one place to another to stop and take pictures. We did do a quick 5 min hike to a waterfall but other than that we in and out of the van. With that said, it did give us a good idea of the layout of Yunque and we ended up going back the next day without a tour guide to do some more extensive hiking. If in and out of the van is your deal, this tour is perfect for you since there is not a lot of hiking involved but for those who are looking to do more exploring by foot, this is not for you.

Our tour guide was fantastic and made our mini excursion into El Yunque extremely enjoyable. The tour was packed with information, and it was nice to explore and learn at the same time. We hiked a trail, visited two waterfalls and a Native American watchtower, and capped it off with lunch and pina coladas at a roadside restaurant. It was incredible! Highly recommend.

Our tour guide, Richie, was very knowledgable and entertaining. He made the drive enjoyable with facts and humor. We saw beautiful areas of the rainforest. If you have enough time you might consider the full day.
Review by: Mary M, August 2017
Our guide was very friendly and informative. He picked us up in front of the hotel promptly and we really couldn't ask for a nicer person to take us!! We enjoyed the trip and would recommend, but I wish the hike was longer and farther into the rainforest. However, my husband has a bad knee so it was perfect for him. Our fellow guests ranged from about 2 to 70 which should have been the tip off and looking back, this particular trip states easy walk. If you're looking for a relaxed laid back trip, this is for you.

This tour was definitely worth taking! Hector our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very charming. He engaged the tourists and was very good with timing and direction. Not to mention that he's a musician and aficionado of smooth jazz music as myself. I highly recommend this tour!!!

Great trip and very informative. The rainforest is stunning. Our tour guide, Carlos, was a wealth of knowledge and a nice guy.

Tour was great, guide was awesome and very informative. Taking a hike through the rainforest is really the best way to experience this and you get that with this excursion.
