Dani and Adri were absolutely amazing! El Yunque has so much to offer, and the rainforest was honestly breathtaking. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the entire experience fun from start to finish. The tour lasted about four hours, and my group had an incredible time. We got to try crepe ginger, jump off cliffs, slide down a natural water slide, and enjoy some of the sweetest, freshest fruit. The experience honestly reminded me of home. There were kids on the tour as well, and they seemed to have just as much fun as the adults. If you’re considering this excursion, I highly recommend it. Just be sure to bring a change of clothes and extra shoes because you will definitely get wet! My group and I had an absolute blast, and I would book this tour again in a heartbeat. 🌿💚🌊
Thank you so much to Adriana with who I learnt A LOT about the porto rican anteopology / history ! Moreover the tour was really cool ! Something different that the beach
Adriana & Daniel were both fantastic!! This is my 3rd time booking a rainforest tours with ToursToDoPR & they never disappoint. Adriana was such a sweetheart to my 6 year old son who joined us & my other 2 kids. Made sure we were all had a good time, made sure we were safe and they were very educational. I would definitely come again for a 4th time, the next time I visit La Isla. Thank you guys so much!!
We had Jean and Enrique , awesome people very welcoming and ensured the safety of everyone. They did not rush the tour at all with ample time to enjoy the water and natural beauty. 10/10 will directly look for any tours given by them for the future. This opinion is coming from someone from the island , their English is also perfect with no miscommunication.
We had the most amazing experience! Our tour guides were personable, full of fun facts about the rainforest and the history of the island. They knew just where to take us and when in order to avoid all of the crowds that we saw as we were leaving, so that we ended up an amazing experience and captured the experience with wonderful photographs that weren’t full of strangers. We did rock slides, cliff jumps, road swings… the full experience! They keep the tour size small, unlike some of the large groups that we saw. It was a really terrific experience! We will definitely book with them again and highly recommend Tours To Do PR!
Great learning experience and Adriana really helped me learn about the Yunque Rainforest and its history

Fabulous rain forest trip with Dani!
Thanks for choosing us! So glad you loved the rainforest trip with Dani — fabulous! 🌿😊📸 #Tourstodopr
Adri and Daniel were awesome Tour guides, I loved them. They explained what we would be doing and guided us along the way. When I or my young daughter needed help with climbing, they were right there! Please note: This tour is NOT for you if walking, or climbing is too much but if you can handle go experience, I loved it and it wasn't too long. This was my 2nd time in El Yunque and I loved that I was in a completely different area than when I visited my first time.
Thanks for choosing us! Glad Adri and Daniel helped you and your daughter—great tip about the activity level. So happy you loved a new area of El Yunque! 😊🌿🧗♀️ #Tourstodopr
