Rainforest with an excellent guide! - Charles, our guide, was wonderful! He was full of information and attentive to people's needs. He was very aware of the rhythm of visitors to the rainforest so we got to places without the crowds. Bravo!

Amazing, beautiful day with gorgeous views! - This was our first trip to Puerto Rico and the rainforest is an absolute must! If you aren’t sure, change your mind and definitely go! Our tour guide, Charlie, was excellent. He told us useful information from the time we got in the van until he dropped us off for (his recommended) lunch spot (which was excellent) in Old San Juan. The scenery was amazing. The tour moved quickly enough that we never got bored and there were beautiful surprises along the way. Do not pass up the opportunity to go on this trip. It was only a half day tour, so we had plenty of time left for another adventure. We didn’t need to bring anything with us but comfortable walking shoes. There were bathroom breaks and opportunities to purchase food and drinks as needed. This is a tour that most people can enjoy, no experience necessary.

Great Experience - Beautiful Rain Forest! Definitely, an experience worth checking out! The tour guide was awesome and very nice. You’ll learn a lot of history about Puerto Rico and its rain forest, which added a great touch to the overall experience.

Great tour for young and ok and in between. - Our tour guide Ramon was excellent. We learned so much about the nature and history of P. R. We had been to the visitor center already but it was so much better with a guide to help you understand what you were seeing. A great way to see Yunque whether young or old.

Fun morning - Easy ride to the jungle with a knowledgeable tour guide. Some walking in the gardens outside the information center. The information center is new and beautiful with a place for a snack.

The guide was wonderful... - The guide was wonderful sharing the history and recommending places to eat. But most of the trip was driving from the city into the rainforest. We only spent about 30 min walking and the time in a visitor center. 1/2 day meant 3/4 of time in a van traveling.
