Harry is a fantastic guide. He’s knowledgeable and knows just where to go and where to stop. His navigation up the busy, winding roads alone was worth the money paid.

We had a great time on this tour overall the only thing I’d say is I was expecting more of a hike . The hike was 20 minutes to a river where we can swim and 20 minutes back . We went a few places to see a water fall and a lookout tower but it was closed so we missed going inside . I think this is a great tour for family’s as the hiking isn’t much and about half of the time was spent driving to and from the rainforest and around to the waterfall .

This tour is a must! Harry, our guide, told us all about the area from the minute we were picked up in the van. The rainforest was a sight with it's trees, flowers, waterfalls, towers, etc.
We were given more than enough time to explore what we wanted to see. A superb tour.

We saw the river, tower and waterfalls. All of which were spectacular. The rainforest was large and majestic,
Our tour guide, Harry was awesome! I really appreciate his willingness to answer all sorts of my "silly" questions. Some of the party only spoke english and some only Spanish. He bounced back and forth with ease.
All in all, my dad and I had a great time.

El Yunque is beautiful. Loved seeing different areas of the forest and having the opportunity to go on a little hike. I had wished the tour guide had talked a bit more and the forest or Puerto Rico in general.

Plan your visit before hand to make sure you cover ground. We had rented car to drive ourselves to the rainforest.
We started day little late and reached visitor center by 10AM. Visitor center requires $8 tickets to visit inside. We did not purchase the tickets and drove past visitor center straight to La Coca Falls.
Here is where we encountered security who asked us to turn back since park was at capacity and try like in 30 min. There were atleast 2-3 dozen cars all turning back.
We turned back and pulled over and overlook area and waited for 15 minutes and joined the queue again to enter the park. This time we got lucky and were allowed inside.
1st stop was the La Coca Falls. It is a great spot, you can get close to falls. Great pic spot.
It was raining all throughout the visit so that made it challenging.
We decided to drive straight for the peak and stop by other places on the way back.
We drove to Torre Mount Britton trailhead and parked here. El Yunque peak and road were both closed. We hiked from Britton to Torre Britton which was also closed. We continued on trail towards Los Picachos, since that was the only choice. Hike is moderate to difficult at places. Gravel and rocks can be slippery and wet. Rain was constant and hard. We carried ponchos which helped us keep dry. We reached the peak, but it being cloudy and rainy we did not get the view at all. But felt great to reach on top and you could only imagine the view from here.
Back down was relatively easier. Entire hike took us like 1.5-2 hours with stops and photo ops. On the way down we stopped Bano de Oro, which is great old swimming pool, not in use anymore. Next stop was Juan Deigo falls. This is good hike and strongly recommend water shoes. Area is really small and crowded. Next stop was Torre Yokahu tower. Tower had great views of rainforest and amazing photo place.
We got done in about 4.5 hours total.
On the way back to Liquillo beach we stopped at place called Mi Vida Cafe which is amazing place with great food,

Tour was definitely not worth the money or the time the guide also lost his headset and had us go back to look for it then dropped people off at the airport and other locations which wasted a lot of my time I would go back but not on this tour

I wasn’t sure if I could hike in the rainforest, the guide picked a challenging yet doable trail! It was amazing scenery, lush, peaceful, and green!
