Half-Day Yunque Rainforest Waterslide & rope swing Guided Tour - Getting There: Your Car Is the Real “Ticket”

1.Half-Day Yunque Rainforest Waterslide & rope swing Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,534 reviews · from $25Our pick

Guided El Yunque half-day from Fajardo with two waterfalls, a natural waterslide, and rope swing. Muddy trail, life jacket included.

“Our guide was absolutely amazing, this excursion is physically demanding to say the least, with cliff and rock climbing and all. As an anxious person I can say the guide made me feel safe under his watch. Lending a firm, helping hand guiding us safely through the slippery terrain, I was able to have fun. If you are not a physically active person I do NOT suggest this tour as it is a rough work out, otherwise I had a great time.”

“The tour was incredible! I booked the night tour very last minute with Roy as my guide. He was so knowledgeable about the location, history, and wildlife—and it was so beautiful to see and hear his love for the river and the land. The tour was breathtaking and was so much more than I could have anticipated. It was challenging at times and could feel a bit scary with the jumps but Roy was so patient, kind, and understanding—everyone in the group felt so safe, comfortable, and cared for the entire time. I had so much fun on the night tour, I booked again for the day trip to see…”

“This should be a must be tour for anyone on the adventurous side. The views alone are spectacular and while some could probably hike this alone I think you will lose out on the most valuable part being the tour guide. We were fortunate enough to have Edward and he was the best tour guide I have experienced. Excellent story teller, extremely knowledgeable and strives to give everything to make it the best trip possible. Edward sent us photos afterward he took with his personal camera. On top of it all, he preps you for all that you will experience on the trip, when we got to the caves I…”

The tube served as a form of transportation through the caves not as much as the central part of the tour. I would definitely do this again!!!”
