Avoid the headaches, long lines and rushed tours of booking with one of the large tour companies, and maximize your experience here in the rainforest in a more intimate one on one interaction. Enjoy the rainforest properly with a more personal tour with a LICENSED TOUR GUIDE!
This is perfect for anyone looking to be fully immersed in the rainforest, meaning possibly getting muddy, wet, sweating, laughing, and smiling!
El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System and one of the most popular things to do in Puerto Rico. You don’t want to miss it! Join us for a professionally guided tour.
Please note: El Yunque receives approximately 1.5 million visitors per year,
We do not have any control of the flow of tourists coming to the most visited island in the Caribbean during the busiest times of year.
If you’re interested in a private excursion, prices and times will vary.
Please inquire about private excursions if you’re seeking a more secluded setting!

The trip was exactly what I was looking for to get a taste of El Yunque. Definitely be prepared with water shoes and perhaps a water proof bag as the tour includes some maneuvering over slippery rocks and sliding down a water slide. There was a bit of a delay returning to San Juan as we waited for a different driver but overall a well orchestrated experience.

Our tour guide Louis was the absolute best and made this tour extremely memorable. We received wonderful hospitality and Louis did a phenomenal job to make sure we were safe, taken care of, and learning throughout the tour. Highly recommend and will be telling my friends about this experience!!

My family really enjoyed this tour! My 5 and 6-year-old both did fantastic on the hike, even the difficult parts. They did need support on some areas. We are told if you hike up, there is no way down except down the waterslide. My youngest went down the waterslide, but my 6-year-old panicked at the top and lost one of his shoes. One of our guides had to take him back the way we came without one shoe. The guide did find the shoe at the bottom eventually. My teenager enjoyed the rope swing and the rock jumping. Based on this I'm giving this 5 stars but there are two negatives: this tour does say with transportation but we had to take our own vehicle. The van was full (I guess they overbooked?), so we had to pay our own gas and tolls to get to El Yunque. Also, the meeting instructions say this tour begins at 9am. It doesn't. We didn't need pickup and we had to meet the tour guide at 7:30am.

This was the best excursion ever! I took my son on a trip to Puerto Rico and I wanted it filled with adventure. I knew if we drove the main entrance, we wouldn’t see all of the hidden gems. Paul and Justin took us up mountains, under caves, and did all the adventures! They even had us arriving extra early- so you enjoy the peace of the rainforest before everyone else gets there. Thanks , Paul and Justin! You guys rock!

Our tour guide, Paul, was so accommodating and knowledgeable about the rainforest! He made sure our group stayed together and was safe when climbing up to get to the waterfall and sliding down. 10/10 would recommend and go again. Go if you have the chance (the earlier, the better)!

Tristian is the best guide I’ve ever had, hands down! Made sure all of us felt included, very kind and thoughtful. Would recommend this trip and our guide to anyone.

I (30s) went with my father (60s) and my kids (11 & 13). It was a little hard for my father, but he got through all of it and had fun. My kids & I loved it. They were at the front of the group the whole time. Tristan, our guide, was great. 10/10 would do it again. Make sure you bring tennis shoes you don't mind ruining. Plan on leaving the rest of your items in the van while you hike. Carry as little as possible. Your guide will take photos and send them to you at the end.
