⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience visiting El Yunque and the Bioluminescent Bay tour! Everything was so well organized and truly unforgettable. Amauri and Jami were absolutely fantastic — super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of energy. They made the whole trip fun and educational at the same time. You can really tell they love what they do and care about everyone having a great time. From the rainforest adventure to kayaking under the stars, it was magical from start to finish. 🌿✨ Totally recommend this tour to anyone visiting Puerto Rico — 100% worth it!

Awesome experience, water slides, rope swing, I loved it. Great way to introduce the forest and have an idea of where to go when you come solo

Amazing experience, led by two incredible tour guides with Amaury and Jami. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They made the experience memorable and worthwhile. Felt incredibly safe in their hands. They gave excellent and clear instructions during the technical portions. I couldn't swim but still wanted to do the rock slide and cliff jump. Amaury is an excellent swimmer and trained lifeguard and helped me in the water. They added a lot of personal touches during the experience which I appreciated. And you def don't miss out on anything if you're traveling solo

Amaury and Yami gave us the best experience from start to finish. Their energy is incredible, and their deep knowledge of the forest and Puerto Rico made this an unforgettable and intimate adventure. If you’re planning to visit El Yunque Rainforest, I highly recommend going with Amaury and Yami, they’re absolutely amazing!
