This all-day experience is the best way to visit two of the island’s most well-known attractions: the Bioluminescent Bay and El Yunque Rainforest.
Quick Details
Please Note:
Come visit El Yunque Rainforest, the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest System and a must-stop for all visitors of Puerto Rico!
The forest covers over 28,000 contiguous acres, with peaks, escarpments, myriad streams and waterfalls, and lush green vegetation representing various forest types. It truly is a biodiversity paradise that demands to be explored on an El Yunque day trip.
Post-hurricane conditions have forced us to use other trails on the skirts of El Yunque Rainforest, until further notice. We have adapted our tour route into an El Yunque Off the Beaten Path version in order to continue offering a similar experience. Please read the complete description as the activity became more advanced and strenuous and may not be suitable for everyone.
After the hike, we stop for lunch at a local restaurant (lunch not included in your ticket price) before heading back to San Juan.
Get adventurous. Get off the road. Get off the paved trail! See something new and interesting!
During this fascinating and advanced tour, we’ll seek out some of El Yunque National Forest hidden gems in places where most tours don’t go. You will see and experience various rivers, waterfalls and walk through natural trails. This trip takes place on the heart of El Yunque Rainforest, which has a path to one of the coolest spots in the park.
The initial hike/walk is a 25-30 minute journey up a dirt/rock path with some river wading. This trail is surrounded by bamboo trees, rainforest flowers, and many other beautiful plants. We will first visit a collecting pool that forms at the base of a waterfall. Here you will have the opportunity to swim on its crystal clear waters and enjoy the different tones of its deep pools. A glimpse at the first waterfall, great for pictures opportunities!
The adventure finishes in a pool area, its best-kept secret. After a few minutes of hiking, arrive at a natural river where you can swim, swing from a rope to the river, and enjoy the natural water slides.
Come along on an outing you’ll never forget—through the beauty and serenity of El Yunque Rainforest, the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest System and a must-stop for all visitors of Puerto Rico! The tour will start with a pick-up at your desired time in a luxury vehicle.
After the hike, we will stop for lunch at a famous local restaurant called Casa BoriCuba with great service and classic Puerto Rican food (lunch not included in your ticket price) before heading back.
Note: This tour leaves from San Juan and Metro Area. To account for transportation, guests should allow up to 7 hours for the entire experience. We’ll spend about 2 hours driving, 1 hour for lunch and 3.5 hours in the rainforest itself.
