El Yunque & Luquillo Beach: Puerto Rico's Ultimate Day Escape

You will need water shoes to navigate the waterfalls. Towel and bathing suit We had fun! Our tour guide Jose was very attentive and really helped us throughout the trip; especially at the waterfalls. The beach was nice and lots of bars and restaurants .

Tour was very fun. Ride to the rainforest took about 45 min to an hour. Once we were there, it was a short but a bit challenging hike down to the natural water slides and pool. This area was cool but a bit touristy with all the other groups. After, we spent about 2 and a half hours at a little beach town which had different options to get food and drinks. Our guide Jose was nice and helpful throughout the tour

I really enjoyed this, but let's be clear -- this is not a tour of the Rainforest -- you go down a very steep, muddy path so that the organization can avoid paying the park entrance fee -- and it is a bit treacherous. Totally worth it go down the waterfall slide, though! The guide was very friendly, and very helpful in making sure no one got hurt. After the waterfall, you go to a pool area, which requires climbing over rocks. This is not an activity for people who are uncomfortable doing this sort of thing. The beach after was very nice - lots of lunch options - the ocean is warm and gorgeous. If you want to actually hike in the rainforest, you will probably have to hire a private guide, FYI.

The El Yunque Rainforest was amazing and was our second time visiting. The weather was perfect and our group was very supportive. Our tour guide Jose Baez was very rude and unsupportive. He did not wait for the entire group to get through the unsafe path down into the forest. He left half of us to fend for ourselves. He was not considerate enough to take the safer path that would accommodate all parties in our group. He even started yelling at some of us because we did appreciate it guidance.

Had a wonderful time! The activity itself was so much fun! Jose my tour guide was absolutely amazing! He kept us entertained and informed on the bus ride. Made it his business to remember all of our names. He was a pleasure to spend the day with and would definitely recommend this trip and him anytime.

Will recomend the place not the tour as we where picked up late(not a problem)but booked spanish speaker guide,after we and another group mention this a few times and considering everybody on the bus spoke spanish he still refuse to change. He was very unhelpfull bordering rude and never stopped talking

Absolutely amazing time. José, our guide, was the best. He made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. We had so much fun! José was very informative and attentive. The rainforest was beautiful and serene, and the beach was nice and warm. 10/10 would do it again!

Jose was an exceptional host, accommodating everyone in our diverse group, regardless of age. Despite the size of our group, he ensured that each person felt included and engaged, making the experience enjoyable for all. His ability to cater to different interests and keep the atmosphere lively and fun truly stood out, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. The hike was not difficult at all, and the water was nice and cool. For a more detailed schedule 1. we were picked up and had about a 35-40 minute drive to the water slide 2. we were at the water slide for about 35 minutes and could slide as much as we wanted, 3. we did a mini hike to the water pool and stayed there for above an hour 4. we were then driven to Luquillo and stayed for about 2 hours. 5. we had drinks, went to the beach and more ( BRING CASH for this place, most places only took cash) 6. we started at 10:30 and were back at 4pm great activity.

Really enjoyed José. He was very knowledgeable. Also enjoyed that the group was small. I will warn you… the water slide is scary. Take advantage of the life jacket. I suspect it will pad you. I did not and wish I had.

If you are not very adventurous or hate mud this is not for you. There is hiking, walking on steep rocks, very slippery places, narrow, stepping over/under fallen trees, uphill/downhill, very slippery slopes to do the water slides. My guide did a great job of talking us through it and keeping us safe but it was not what I expected after doing similar hiking tours in other places. Overall we still had a great time. You will get a full body workout and feel like a true rainforest conquerer once you make it out😂 I really enjoyed Luquillo Beach. The food options are amazing. We chose to eat at Boscas Del Mar. 10/10 drinks, food (Yellow Tail Snapper was amazing), and the coconut arepitas were the best finish.
