Unfortunately, we had to shorten our time this time due to our flight. However, our guide, Eli, still made it worth it. This is our second time taking a group on tour with him. He is extremely knowledgeable and fun.
Enrique, our tour guide, was amazing. He was knowledgeable and informative. If you had a question, Enrique had an answer. Small group of 7, he would take time to pause for an elderly couple while simultaneously engaging the kids with interesting fun facts. We even ate plants (and not a vegan) finding them surprisingly tasty. On the ride back, he let us relax while playing traditional Latin music. Overall, highly recommend and next time back would love to take another tour with this company and Enrique again.
The guide didn’t go with us just basically drove us to spots we expected some guidance but not much given
It’s not worth it. Waste of money and time. Nothing exciting or interesting. If you expect Costa Rica rain forest, do not go to this tour. Honestly, the worst adventure tour I’ve ever had. One more: They brought few 8 ounces water for 20 people; ridiculous. This tour may be good for elementary school students.
Loved our guide, Juan. He was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.
Amazing experience! Fabian was a great and fun guide! It really worth the money.
It was a great experience the tour guide Juan was knowledgeable and educated the group of 8 on many things. The trail hike was a little exhausting but worth it. The weather was nice and breezy. The waterfall was beautiful. It was a 4 hr tour and great scenery throughout.
My mom and I took this tour from Old San Juan - it was our first time in Puerto Rico and we wanted to see as much as we could without a car. Our guide was funny and incredibly knowledgeable about the plants, animals, and history of the area. The stops we made were all different and scenic, and we felt like we got a really solid overview of El Yunque. I'd definitely recommend!
Harry was such an amazing guide. He was very informative and knowledgeable. He was patient with all of our picture taking. The rain forest was magical. We came for my granddaughters graduation and she asked to go thru the rain forest. This excursion was not a disappointment. My family had such such good time and I would absolutely recommend this for other travelers.
Fascinating ecosystem. Our tour guide was a wonderful driver through the winding roads of the rainforest. Wear bathing suits and be prepared to be wet during the hike. We wish our tour guide shared more knowledge of what we were seeing in the rain forest We could have learned so much more if he had.
