    To begin our amazing adventure our guide will pick you up at your preferred hotel, resort, residence or airbnb in San Juan, Isla Verde and Condado (Although hotels in Rio Grande or Fajardo may not qualify, we can arrange a convenient meeting point near your accommodation for your ease and comfort). The schedule will be from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm or from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Both schedules have been strategically chosen to beat the crowds created by the large groups of other companies to make it more comfortable and safer for you.

  • El Yunque Hiking Area

    Upon arrival, our certified tour guide will lead you through this amazing secret spot of "El Yunque". In this area you will explore through the mud trails and lush green of the rainforest. The hike will take approximately 1.5 miles in total and will take approximately twenty minutes to reach the first bathing area and another fifteen minutes hiking on rocks to get to the water slide. We’ll spend around 2 hours inside the rainforest where we’ll be swimming, swinging from the rope like Tarzan, sliding down a natural waterslide, cooling off under the waterfall and jumping from different cliffs.

Had an awesome time on...

Published on May, 2025

Had an awesome time on this private El Yunque half-day tour with DG! The trail was definitely a bit more challenging (and slippery) than I expected, but DG did an excellent job keeping everyone safe and guiding us through with confidence and energy. The views and waterfalls were absolutely worth it – we got some great pictures and made memories we won’t forget. It was just my wife, girlfriend, and me on this tour, and I can’t recommend the small group experience enough. We passed a few larger tour groups along the way, and they didn’t look nearly as organized or safe. Things felt a little rushed at times, but overall it was a fun, adventurous, and rewarding hike through a beautiful and wild part of Puerto Rico. Highly recommend this if you’re up for a challenge and want a more personalized and safe experience in the rainforest!

Eli and Adrien were great! Felt very safe and it was a lot of fun! Learned more about the history of Puerto Rico and el

It was a cool and fun experience and what made it better was our tour guide Michael. He made us feel like one of his friends, there was never a dull moment. Jumping off the cliffs and into the water was something I never thought I’d do. Highly recommend requesting Michael!

10/10 experience!!!

Published on Apr, 2025

Absolutely unforgettable experience exploring El Yunque with Eli as our guide—10/10, hands down. From start to finish, Eli’s communication was excellent. We received clear instructions ahead of time, and he was right on time with a well-organized and smooth pick-up that made the morning stress-free. Eli kept the entire tour engaging with a perfect balance of humor, energy, and fascinating facts about the rainforest. His guidance was always clear and easy to follow, and I felt safe the entire time thanks to his thoughtful, visual demonstrations and constant awareness of the group’s needs. The helmets and life jackets provided were definitely essential—the hike and water activities are adventurous and intense in the best way. You’ll be climbing, sliding, swinging on ropes, and getting delightfully muddy, so come ready for an active day. One of the smartest parts of the tour was the timing—Eli planned it out so well that we avoided long lines and large crowds, which made the experience feel even more intimate and special. If you’re looking for a fun, safe, and exciting way to explore El Yunque, I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Eli truly made it an adventure to remember.

Epic Experience!

Published on Apr, 2025

Epic experience!! This excursion to the rainforest was the absolute highlight of our vacation. We loved the natural water slide and cliff jumping. Our tour guide Dehuel was AMAZING - very helpful, knowledgeable, kind and funny - we felt very safe the entire time. Wish we could do it all over again!
