This was the best experience I’ve had so far in Puerto Rico. Hannah was our tour guide, and she was extremely knowledgeable about the vegetation in the forest. We did some cliff diving, rope swinging, and a water slide. It was an amazing experience. Everyone was respectful, friendly, and safe.
I would recommend this tour over and over again. If I don’t go on anymore tours during my stay, I would be okay. Please be ready to do a lot of walking, climbing, sliding, and getting muddy. I would suggest bringing a waterproof phone case and close toed shoes.
Be sure to bring an extra outfit and dry towel. It’s a rainforest so sunscreen is debatable. There were not many bugs, so packing bug spray is not really warranted.
I think everyone should do a hike at the El Yunque Rainforest. Before booking the tour, know where you are staying in proximity to the pick up locations. Apparently they have 2 pick up locations, so be sure to ask prior to booking. I stayed in Rio Grande and I traveled all the way to San Juan, when there was a closer pick up location. Please don’t make my very costly mistake.
