Best part of our week in Isla Verde! Our tour guide Mitchell was amazing, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone. He was very patient, funny, and attentive to our families needs.
Could imagine having a better guide than Mitchell!

Our adventure into El Yunque was nothing less than exceptional. Our tour guide, Andrés, could not have been more welcoming and kind, making us feel safe yet also free to roam and explore all of the beauty that the rainforest has to offer. After our hike and time spent at the swimming holes, we went out to lunch where Andrés recommended all of the best local dishes while explaining the ingredients and history behind the cuisine. He was amazing and exceeded all of our expectations - we wanted to stay longer so we could continue exploring and enjoy such wonderful company! Thank you again, Andrés, for everything. We will be recommending this excursion to all of our friends and family - it was perfect!

We had an amazing time with our group of 6 for a private tour of el Yunque. Andres was our guide, and he was the best we could have hoped for. Punctual, safe, highly trained, interesting, experienced, knowledgeable, and FUN!! We had a blast with him. He was patient with some less adventurous members of our group and made sure we were all safe. He took us to a great lunch after and had great suggestions on what to order, and even stopped at a fruit stand for me when I asked about getting some fresh mango since it’s the start of the season! This was a terrific experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Thanks Andres!!!

We had such a great experience on this tour. Our guide was Andres Vega. From start the finish he made the experience very pleasant. Our group was also a very nice set of people and everyone meshed so it made for a much better experience. Andres was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. When signing up for this trip, make sure you are prepared to get wet and muddy. Andres offered very good guidance and made sure we were safe at all times. He even gave us an excellent recommendation for lunch. Honestly, this experience was an easy 10 out of 10 for me.
My only draw back is I felt ghosted after the tour which is incredibly sad. Our guide offered to take our pics even though I had taken my phone and waterproof case and was willing to do it myself. He took multiple pics for us, which were super important as it was my bf's birthday trip and I managed to convince him to jump off a cliff which is so far out of his element. The guide promised to capture all the footage and share with us, but after our drop off we haven't heard from him since. He even instructed me to text him for some recommendations for another location I would soon be heading to and no response. I spoke with another member of the group, who also said they had reach out but got no response. I contacted the company just to find out if the guide was safe, because it just felt super weird that we would be ghosted and they have not responded either.
Definitely a must do tour and Andres is a great guide, but take your pics if it is important to you. I'm so sad about this :(

Our tour guide, Eduardo, was great! Good communication and made the experience fun! We would definitely do it again.

Andres was the best tour guide! We (my mom and I) were not the most athletic for this type of tour, but Andres made us feel safe and capable. We loved his notes about the trees and plants in the rain forest. I highly recommend this small group tour over the larger tours they offer on these types of sites. This really was a highlight of our trip!

Andres made the tour so awesome! His expertise and willingness to try a few more difficult routes was great. Andres is amazing. Great personality and made the trip amazing.

Brian was an absolutely amazing tour guide. He let us know about the history of the rain forest and made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout our hike. He took some great photos of us so we didn’t need to worry about anything other than embracing the experience on our trip. 10/10 would recommend Brian and will definitely reach out to him when we come back.

Everything about this tour was top notch!!! Our tour guide (Carlos) reached out early to provide directions and tips for the tour and each one was spot on!! He kept everyone updated of all schedule times. Their communication AND commitment to their customers safety really sets both Carlos and this tour company apart. The rainforest was spectacular, the waterfall beautiful but very very very muddy! Expect to get dirty!!! I highly recommend this tour company and hope you get Carlos as your guide!!!!

Brian was a fantastic guide! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very safety conscious during the activities. He then took as to a delicious lunch at Edelweiss on the way back to our condo.
