Captain Jay, Captain Danny, and guide Jorge have earned special praise.

“The snorkeling part of the trip wasn't the best. There was no reefs and barely any wildlife. We saw maybe 5 fishes total. No reefs nor anything else. The staff was amazing!”

4.El Yunque Rainforest Morning River and Hike Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · from $120Best value

Leave San Juan early for Las Tinajas near Ceiba, where a local guide leads a 20 to 30 minute rainforest walk to waterfalls, rope swings, rock jumps, and a natural waterslide. Guides such as Maxine, Rafael, and Tristan have led groups here, with fresh fruit and transport included.

“Rafael was the consummate tour guide. In his two decades of taking visitors to this park of the rainforest he knows all the best spots to access the water slides, the cliff jumps, and the rope swings. Our six- and nine-year olds had the best time. Never did I feel unsafe, and he has the best rapport with kiddos. I would recommend this to anyone.”
