About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- susanallen2020 contributionsBioluminescence to light up your life in Puerto RickWonderful and informative. I was due to come with my partner but had to go alone at the last minute and they were so lovely to me I felt very at ease and really enjoyed it. Wear bug spray - I was eaten alive, but it was worth itWritten 28 October 2024
- levine3310 contributionsAmazing Experience!!!My wife and I had such a great time today during this rainforest experience. it was so much fun! our tour guide, Hector, was the best! he was real knowledgeable about the ecosystem in the forest and we learned a lot about the plants that we saw. He was sure to look out for the whole groups needs and helped us navigate the trails, especially through the rough terrain. we especially enjoyed the natural waterslide, cliff diving and jungle rope swing. We will totally do this again, the next time we visit Puerto Rico.Written 27 October 2024
- X998DIandreac0 contributionsA beautiful experienceThis was an amazing experience. Everyone was very kind and the trip was extremely organized. It was a once in a lifetime experience. it was absolutely peaceful and beautiful. I would highly recommend it to others.Written 23 October 2024
- GrandTour134663265250 contributionsAmazing Experience with Hector as Our Guide!My experience on the El Yunque Rainforest Guided Hiking Tour was absolutely unforgettable, and Hector, our tour guide, played a huge role in making it so special. From the moment the tour began, Hector’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the rainforest were evident. He shared fascinating insights about the flora, fauna, and the rich history of the area, all while keeping the group entertained and engaged. Hector’s passion for the environment really shined through. He ensured everyone in the group felt safe and comfortable, regardless of fitness level, and his energy made the challenging parts of the hike fun and exciting. We were treated to breathtaking views, serene waterfalls, and even some hidden gems off the beaten path that only someone with Hector’s expertise could provide. If you’re considering a hiking tour of El Yunque, I highly recommend this one—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Hector as your guide. His warmth, humor, and deep love for the rainforest made this adventure truly one of a kind!Written 15 October 2024
- Thomas G0 contributionsPoor communication: They canceled the trip and didn't notify me.I called the day before to confirm the reservation and was told we were not going. If I had not called, I would have been waiting for a pickup that never came. They did get me a refund and got me in touch with some other companies, and I was able to make the trip with another company. Just felt unprofessional that I had to be the one to reach out to confirm the trip was canceled the day before we were supposed to go.Written 15 October 2024
- Bradley L0 contributionsViejo San JuanWe started taking walking tours of cities about a year ago. I had lived in Puerto Rico 30 years ago, but wanted to see old San Juan with fresh eyes. Our guide, Francisco, was born and raised in Puerto Rico and has been guiding tourist for nine years. He was funny and engaging. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Old San Juan as well as all of Puerto Rico. He was willing to answer questions about recent experiences and current events in Puerto Rico. The tour itself is amazing. San Juan has been in existence for nearly 500 years with one of the best preserved fortresses that is well-maintained by the US national park services. The old city itself is a testament to the efforts to preserve history and is rich with history.Written 7 October 2024
- Monique K0 contributionsMake sure you have a guide with you when you go on the hike! Trust me, it's an experience you don't want to miss.What an awesome day we had! Our guide was just amazing, he had such a great personality. He was so patient, kind, and a total goofball. Don't forget to pack an extra set of clothes, and make sure everyone in your group brings a towel and swimsuit. Trust me, you don't want to end up buying something from the souvenir shop on the roadside like I had to because my teenagers didn't want to get wet. Speaking of which, be prepared to get wet for sure. You'll need to be in good shape to climb up the rocks, but the guides will be there to assist you every step of the way. Make sure to wear shoes with good grip that you don't mind getting wet. And don't forget to bring some cash to tip these hardworking guys!Written 1 October 2024
- vanessagL6652CK0 contributionsPUERTO RICO OWES ME NOTHINGGGGGGGLordt. This tour was everything and more. When I say book this, book it!! If possible request George, he was very friendly, informative, and took great care of all the members in the group. This activity is adrenaline inducing, be ready to want to experience it again and again and again!Written 25 September 2024
- edvardask0 contributionsKudos to George!The El Yunque rainforest tour was spot on, and if the beautiful nature did its job perfectly, the biggest kudos go to our guide, George. His sense of humor, responsible and accurate guidance, lovely personality and crazy tarzan skills made this trip realy amazing.Written 22 September 2024
- bongtraveler0 contributionsLovely but wish they communicated more professionally(I did these separately on different days) Overall really good. For El Yunque George was the perfect guide. For the biobay, it’s really outsourced and all they do is to take care of the transportation. I took out one star for terrible communication. They don’t respond to text or WhatsApp or email. You have to call them.Written 20 September 2024
- KingHellman0 contributionsVisibly sick people allowed in van for hour+ ride!Overall staff and experience were excellent. However it was incredibly frustrating and disappointing to get on the transport to find two girls hacking, coughing, blowing their noses, clearly very ill. One hour in a van, no open windows, with two visibly and audibly sick people. Why were they allowed on the tour? Covid is raging and dangerous plus getting others sick threatens to ruin their vacation and travel.Written 3 September 2024
- Resort186218944580 contributionsAmazing bio bay experienceWe booked the bioluminescent bay and sunset boat excursion through the stand at our hotel. The concierge was very helpful and knowledgeable. Our driver was Hector and he was amazing. His recommendations for dinner and drinks was spot on. He took pictures for us and answered all of our questions. He got us to and from the excursion i a timely and safe manner. He is the quide for the whole excursion. Our boat driver was Bryan and he was also so great! They went above and beyond to make it memorable for us. The sunset was perfect and beautiful and the bio bay is absolutely magical. I definitely recommend this excursion if you are in the area.Written 30 August 2024
- ricasilverio0 contributionsGreat hikeGeorge was a great tour guide. We went through the rainforest and ended up at a waterfall and water area. Would highly recommend.Written 27 August 2024
- jperal860 contributionsSo much fun!Best experience from my trip to P.R.! Time spent in El Yunque is approximately 3 hours and after we went to a restaurant nearby and had delicious food. You get picked up and dropped off at a meeting location that is confirmed at least 48 hrs before. They say not to wear sandals but I wore my Merrell hiking sandals and that worked out just fine. Your shoes do get muddy as you are walking all around muddy trails. Our tour group was the only one wearing life jackets AND a helmet which only made us feel safer. Jason and Elias were great tour guides, even took pictures and videos of us throughout the trip to share with us afterwards. We got to experience going down a short waterfall, cliff dive (different heights: 3ft, 5ft, 10ft) and also do a rope swing.Written 26 August 2024
- beverlyi20240 contributionsA Fun Wet Way to spend a morning & afternoonAdriana was a great guide. Very informative, and full of good energy. I didn't know how to swim and still had a blast in the water. Whatever you wear is certainly going to get wet and your footwear will get muddy. The hike will have you sweating but isn't too challenging. Everyone was friendly and helpful throughout. Adriana also took pictures and video of everyone that will always bring back memories of a fun and fantastic trip. Would certainly recommend to fellow travelers.Written 18 August 2024
