View on Google MapsWe had an absolutely amazing experience on our El Yunque rainforest hike and beach trip, and so much of that is thanks to our incredible tour guide Joel. From the moment we met, he was personable, punctual, and made our entire family feel comfortable and excited for the day ahead. He gave clear, excellent instructions throughout the hike, ensuring everyone felt safe and confident, while also being patient and encouraging—especially with family members who needed a little extra support. His positive energy and genuine enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. He took the time to engage with our family, answer questions, and share insights that made the trip both fun and informative. The transition from the rainforest to the beach was seamless, and he made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy every moment. It truly felt like a personalized experience rather than just a tour. This was a memorable adventure for our family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend Joel to anyone visiting Puerto Rico and looking for an unforgettable El Yunque and beach experience!
Joel did an incredible job with our tour! He quickly connected with each of us, it was fun to see our teenagers connect with him. He showed us how to to do the rock water slides safely as it had just rained and they were intense. We also slide down waterfall slide and jumped from ledges off the smaller waterfall. Connected with nature and as a group. He took us to get puerto Rican lunch at the luquillo kiosks and spent the afternoon at the beach. We can't wait to see what other tours he creates. My kids say this was their favorite day on the east coast side of the island. We can't wait to come back!

We failed to understand what water slides really meant….it is not the man-made slide we were expecting. You actually sit in rushing water and its lifts you over the ominous rocks. In retrospect, as a couple in our mid-fifties, we would have selected a more leisurely tour. However, the guide prepared us for everything including telling us to wear and/or bring socks. He demonstrated the proper technique for using the natural water slides. He was very knowledgeable and kept safety as a priority. I could not believe people were attempting it without a guide and no prior experience. Even with the guide, it is hazardous. We felt battered and were slightly bruised from the water slide experience. We slipped a few times on the rocks when ascending and descending so scraped our shins. Next, we jumped from rocks into the swimming pools. After that, we took a quick hike into the rainforest…breathtaking! This tour then takes you to Luquillo for lunch and shopping on your own. We were still able to enjoy over an hour on the beach on the guides boogie board. The water was warm, calm and beautiful shades of blue.
Joe is very knowledgeable about the area and super helpful during the tour. He also provided many extras that we weren’t expecting.
This is not any regular tour, you will experience and learn new things about yourself you've never known before. The forest, the beach, the food, and the ride were all 10/10, not a single part of this tour felt tiring or boring, the energy was always high and the vibes really good. I would recommend this to anyone especially couples or groups of friends.
Wonderful private tour tailored to your experiences. Learned a lot about the island and the rainforest .
He was the best! I had my 13 and 6 year olds, and he was above and beyond accommodating and entertaining. Far exceeded expectations. Experience of a lifetime !
There was less hiking than anticipated and more swimming. There was some shopping time at a strip mall/outlet at the beach, where we also go authentic cuisine. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and energetic.
Our trip to El Yunque Rainforest was nothing short of spectacular! From navigating through lush natural trails to sliding down exhilarating natural water slides, every moment was filled with adventure. Climbing and jumping off giant boulders added an extra thrill, pushing us beyond our comfort zones in the best way possible. Carlos, our guide, was exceptional. He ensured that we were both challenged and safe, encouraging us to embrace the experience fully. When heavy rain shortened our usual time at the falls, he seamlessly adapted, making the rest of the trip just as enjoyable. His passion for his country, heritage, and the natural beauty of Puerto Rico was evident in everything he did. After our rainforest adventure, we stopped at Luquillo Beach for some shopping and indulged in delicious fried snacks—an authentic and tasty way to experience local flavors. To top it all off, we ended the day snorkeling in the ocean, a perfect way to unwind and take in the stunning marine life. This experience was a perfect mix of adrenaline, culture, and relaxation. If you’re looking for an adventure in Puerto Rico, this tour is a must—and if you’re lucky enough to have Carlos as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable journey!
