Puerto Rico Zipline & El Yunque Hiking Tour
Fly High Above the Canopy
Soar through Puerto Rico’s treetops and get a unique vantage point high above the forest floor. Immerse yourself in El Yunque’s biodiversity, lush foliage, and ecosystem. This tour is by far one of the best options for adventure seekers wanting to experience all that Puerto Rico has to offer!
We will hike 25 to 30 minutes up a dirk/rock path that does include some river wading. The trail is surrounded by bamboo trees, rainforest flowers, and many other beautiful plants. Our group will stop at a collecting pool formed from the base of a waterfall. Here, you will have the chance to swim in the pool’s crystal-clear waters or jump from a rope. This is also a great spot for picture opportunities!
Once the hike concludes, we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant (cost of meal is not included in total tour price) before continuing to the zipline. Please note, though, that depending on the day, we might begin tours with the zipline instead of the hike.
At the zipline, our guides will help you put on gear, a harness, a helmet, and hand grips in preparation for your aerial ride through the trees. A short 10-minute walk through the rainforest will bring you to the start of the course. Here, you will be given a short demonstration of how to effectively use the zipline.
Our zipline consists of 7 platforms and 1 rappel station. Each is strategically located in the rainforest canopy. All landing platforms are equipped with safety gear, handrails, and a guide to help you land safely and continue on through the course. The platforms can be as high as 100 ft and as far apart as 465 ft.
Flying through the air while surrounded by nature is one of the more exhilarating feelings you will ever have! Don’t miss exploring El Yunque National Rainforest Park in this one-of-a-kind way.
