It was a great experience. The tour guides were really friendly and knowledgeable. The waterfall and natural spring were amazing. The guides were cautious of the weather conditions and made necessary adjustments to the tour without compromising the overall experience.

Island Journeys El Yunque Rainforest adventure
Stephanee_S, Mar 2024
Our rainforest adventure was amazing! Jean and Bradley were fantastic guides. We had a much smaller group than most which was a definite bonus. So much fun!!! Natural water slide, cliff jumping, rope swing were the highlights. Can’t say enough good things about the experience
Extreme adventure!
Renee_M, Mar 2024
The hiking, rock climbing, natural water sliding, cliff jumping and rope swinging were all so much fun!
El Yunque Great Adventure!
Marabeth_I, Mar 2024
This was a terrific adventure. El Yunque is beautiful. The guides (Rene and Nina) were engaging and professional. They share lots of information about the park, its creatures and plants as well as info about PR history and current life. The hike in was just enough of a challenge while still allowing us to take in the sights. Definitely prepare for mud and wear hiking sandals/boots or athletic shoes. The waterslide, “cliff” jump and rope swing were added bonuses. The guides also were aware of what was going on around, kept track of all in group and encouraged but didn’t push. We felt safe and they seemed to think of everything from snacks to photos to a changing tent to get into dry clothes. We would do this trip with Island Adventures again.
Tour was great! Great...

Rainforest adventure
Serena_C, Dec 2023
Don’t miss this experience. After a 1.5 mile muddy hike, we saw waterfalls, jumped off rocks, did a waterslide, and a rope jump. Amauri and Danny were wonderful guides, keeping us safe and entertained. They sent us hundreds of pictures from the day.

Perfect El Yunque Tour
Anthony_R, Dec 2023
Looking for a tour of El Yunque that won’t take up your whole day but yet hit on a handful of fun activities, look no further. From the trail hike through the mud, rock crawling, natural water slide, swinging from a rope onto the water and my favorite was free jumping off a cliff 20 feet high straight into the water! Oh and to cool off the right way, una medalla bien fría al final.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hola Anthony! Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. We take pride in giving outstanding service to all our guests, glad to know your experience was no exception. Hope to hear back from you when you visit Puerto Rico again!
