43 reviewed
El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. forest network, and the tour you pick decides whether you beat the tour buses to the waterfalls. These are the best El Yunque trips from San Juan: which include the natural rock slides and the rope swing, which add a beach or a summit hike, what each costs, and the one to book for a first visit.
Hike two El Yunque waterfall stops, swim and slide, then eat homestyle Puerto Rican food. Active, muddy, and worth $45.
“Great experience, I had a blast. I traveled with my 5 years old. I enjoyed all the fun activities. My favorite was the hiking and jumping in the water with the rope.”
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.”

El Yunque hike and night kayak in Laguna Grande with bioluminescent plankton. Pickup, helmets, lifejackets, and muddy waterfall swims.
“It was a fantastic experience especially for the activities in El Yunque. The tour guide who is also the driver is knowledgeable and took good care of every participant. I recommend the activities between rocks, cliffs, and river. The guide provided life jackets and helmets so it’s safe to do these activities. During hiking, participants need a little rock-climbing and walking in the rivers. Even not joining water activities, everyone would get wet on the way.
