Itinerary

San Juan

30 min

To begin our amazing adventure, our guide will personally pick up the travelers at their accommodations in the metro area. Pickups can be at hotels, resorts, residences, or airbnbs anywhere in San Juan, Carolina, Loiza, Canovanas, Luquillo, Rio Grande, or Fajardo. The day before the excursion, the tour guide will be communicating with the travelers for the exact pick-up time and other details. This schedule goes from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The earlier we start, the better, to avoid bigger tour groups that arrive from other companies.
El Yunque National Forest

3 hours

Our certified tour guide will lead you through this beautiful hidden gem in the rainforest of "El Yunque." In this area, you will explore through the muddy clay trails and the lush greenery of the rainforest. We will arrive at Las Tinajas Falls depending on previously scheduled pick-up times by your personal tour guide. The hike is about 1.5 miles in total and will take about half an hour to arrive at the first bathing area. The guide will talk about the Taino life in the rainforest, the beautiful plants that grow around, and the incredible bathing areas hidden in paradise. In these bathing areas, you will be able to spend 1-2 hours swimming around, rope swinging into the deep rainwaters, sliding through a natural waterslide, and/or jumping from a 30-foot cliff! All these things are in one incredible area in Puerto Rico. We will stay here until 1-2 p.m. and then stop around at some of the nearby restaurants to grab a bite to eat!

Using your ticket

Our tours are private for groups of 6 travelers, which means that we focus on giving families of 6 a fully-private tour with a certified tour guide. If travelers would like to have a fully-private tour, they can purchase all 6 seats in our tour guides' vehicles which will ensure a fully-private tour for only them. Otherwise, the number of passengers will be added until they fill the vehicle with a total of 6 travelers per certified guide. If the group size is larger than 6, feel free to book seperate reservations adding up to the desired amount of travelers in your group, all bookings that are together must be under the same lead traveler name. Groups larger than 6 will be led by 2 or more guides depending on group size to ensure safety!
