El Yunque National Forest, Caribbean Your initial hike is an approximate 30-minute journey on a river-wading and rock-scaling path to the river. This area is surrounded by bamboo trees, rainforest flowers, and many other beautiful plants. Your guide will take the time to share interesting facts about this entire ecosystem and help you spot the native flora and fauna and answer all your questions.
We will make a stop to visit a collecting pool that forms at the base of a small waterfall. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in its crystal clear waters and enjoy the different tones of its deep pools. A glimpse at the first waterfall is great for picture opportunities!
The adventure finishes in a pool area, its best-kept secret. After a few minutes of hiking and rock climbing (more advanced), arrive at a natural river where you can swim, swing from a rope to the river, cliff jump, and enjoy the natural water slides. 240 minutes
Balneario Luquillo, Luquillo, Caribbean After we conclude the tour we will stop at the Luquillo Kiosks or nearby restaurant to have an authentic Puerto Rican lunch before returning to San Juan (food cost not included). 60 minutes

Felix is great, safety first, fun second. I
Think it is a little dif for older folks like me???? great group though. So much fun to be around but the climb can be a little challenging and the water fall a little scary if the current is strong. All in all, had a great time. They take you to authentic places to eat lunch which was fantastic! Felix should run a food tour as well bc he knows how to pick the best places. I didnt see any other group having such a energized leader as him. They look out for you 100% of time. Dont miss out, stick W this group.

Tour was fun & Frankie our tour guide was very professional & knowledgeable. He treats you like family & safety matters to this tour . Helmets & vest are provided. Wear good support grip shoes water shoes are really not that good my feet hurt . You climb on lots of rocks . Sneakers are better to be honest just know they will get ruined there’s lots of nasty mud . Overall awesome time we left at 8:30 am and got back at 6pm . Water slide is fun not as scary as it seems .
