8.Waterfall Hike in Remote Area of El Yunque Rainforest; San Juan

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 74 reviews · from $115

Hike remote El Yunque with a local guide, swim beneath waterfalls, spot rainforest life, and enjoy a small-group adventure from San Juan.

“Although the experience had its good points, it's important to know that this "hike" is not a hike on trails, but on rocks (very slippery, wet rocks!). Two of us couldn't really complete the "hike," because of the treacherous nature of the "trail," which is all slippery rocks up to a waterfall. The guide was outstanding, and did his best to help us, but it wasn't the hike on trails we were expecting. The water was gorgeous, but just be aware.”

Plus his dog Luffy is adorable. We also got great recommendations for places to eat and other places to visit while traveling through PR. Highly recommend!”

Review of El Yunque’s Tinajas rainforest hike from San Juan, with waterfalls, natural slides, transport, safety tips, price, and honest advice.

“By far... This appeared to the best tour (out of many) to be on. Maybe it was because of our tour guide Carlos. He was the BEST!! I observed all the other tour guides out there and they were not as attentive.. Carlos actually cared about our safety. He even cared about the safety of people in other companies group. He was extremely knowledgeable about the country and the rainforest. Cutting up and earing the fruit was a perfect authentic touch/experience. I really appreciate how this company doesn't do large groups. They do groups under 11 ppl... When other companies had groups of 30 or more. You really need a…”
