Although it says you have time for swimming and relaxing which was not really given, juat a break where we got to have a drink and a quick appetizer. They kinda wanted to rush it more than anything but it was definitely a great experience. The horses were beautiful, the beach was breathtaking and riding a horse on a beach was amazing.”

You’ll ride from the San Juan area to El Yunque with a guide such as Catherine, Eliu, Stephanie, or Luis, then walk muddy forest paths to two natural pools and waterfalls. Swim, use the rope swing, slide over smooth rock, or jump from a low cliff if you choose. This is a wet, active outing, not a long park hike.

“The centerpiece of the tour is sliding down a waterfall, and jumping from a cliff into water. If you just want to explore the rainforest, hike, and see the tower, you may want to hike on your own. You WILL get wet on this tour. There is no perfect footwear. You need good hiking shoes or sneakers to hike over slippery rocks, but then you will dive into water wearing those same footwear. This is a rainforest, and it will rain; maybe a little bit, but it will rain. You will encounter mud; there is no way to avoid it; you will need to walk right thru it (if you…”

Due to bad weather the agency gave us the option to reschedule or cancel, we chose to reschedule but they did not confirm anything. When we reached the meeting point WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION about who was our tour guide or if they had arrived. By chance we saw Blu and asked whether she was a tour guide. Luckily she was, and contacted the agency for the information so we were able to go but otherwise,…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,215 reviews · from $59

This five-hour San Juan outing combines a rainforest hike to natural rock slides and waterfalls with time at Luquillo Beach. Guides such as Seth, Nick, Eric, Rah, and Caleb are praised for safety help, clear instructions, and taking photos. Expect slippery rocks, a moderate hike, Puerto Rican finger food, and a small group of up to 14.

“Definitely worth it to have someone walk you through the waterslides and what to expect. Our tour guide, Rah, was amazing. He was super knowledgeable, made sure everyone in the group was good, and got us some amazing photos. The socks are mandatory! It’s a short walk to the water but you’ll want to have socks, we wore them over our water shoes and were able to navigate the algae covered rock pretty easily. We also did the first tour of the morning and were pretty much the only ones there so I’d definitely recommend the earlier start if you’re worried about crowds.”
