“David was great, he put a lot of thought into the tour route and he is passionate about sharing his knowledge of the city. We were able to learn so much about San Juan’s history. It started raining and David was very patient with our group, helping to find places for us to stay dry. I definitely recommend this tour.”
Small-group El Yunque rainforest hike with Las Tinajas Falls swimming, plus Luquillo beach time and pickup/drop-off from San Juan.
“I was picked up at my hotel, which was so convenient. On the way to El Yunque, we stopped at a little fruit stand/souvenir shop for a drink and one last restroom break. Then we were off to the rainforest. Our guide, Andres, was amazing. He gave us a lot of history, lore, and botanical knowledge which gave a depth that most tours don't have. He was incredibly kind, relaxed, and helpful. He gave us choices so we would all be at our comfort level, then helped us achieve success with our choices! The rainforest itself was so beautiful and by the end of the day I felt inspired, confident…”

There were four tour guides on our trip- William, Jose, Jason, and Julio. They were very experienced and made us feel safe the entire time by having one in the front of the group, one in the back, and two in the middle to keep an eye on each kayak. It was very well organized and the safety features as well as general kayaking tips were explained in a way that made us confident and comfortable. Although they could not control how bright…”
