Fabulous trip with family
eliot_c
, Aug 2022
We all loved the trip and tour. Our teens, ages 19 and 18,loved it. Everything was fabulous and a true adventure day. Our guide was amazing and she explained everything about where we were, what we were doing and the history of the locations. Lunch place was wonderful too. Highly recommend. Keep in mind this is not a sightseeing tour, it is an adventure and you will be very active with hiking, swimming, easy climbing and jumping into prestine pools of water. Can't say enough about it. It was great!!
Spectacular day of exploration with an amazing guide!

Myself, husband and our 18 year old daughter had an amazing time on this tour. Jamilla was an excellent guide, so friendly and informative. She treated us like family! The caves and coves were beautiful, and the trek was not too strenuous for us almost 60s! You do have to feel comfortable in water and in dark caves with bats! So cool! It was just our small group most of the day so we really got to enjoy everything to ourselves. Jamilla took us for a delicious lunch and explained the different local foods. We ended with a hike to the most pristine blue watering hole we’ve ever seen and it was only our group there. Spectacular!

Greatest Familia Adventure!

This was easily one of the most memorable adventures my wife and I have ever experienced. From the moment we got picked up, Yamile made us feel like Familia. Super smooth and educational drive out to the first stops. Swimming through rivers and caverns is unlike anything you will ever experience. Lunch was phenomenal as well at a local BBQ spot. The final stop was a lovely hike to a beautiful hidden Blue Hole. I would HIGHLY reccomend you skip any other your on PR and make this your first booking!
Amazing guide, amazing food, amazing time

Top notch excursion! Yamile is a true professional. This was a very unique experience. The area was remote and beautiful. The caves were super cool. Seeing the bats was my favorite. The trekking requires some coordination and I suggest a neoprene top if you get cold in water. Also we brought a water proof Go Pro but she provides photos/video via photo share for free. Lunch was yummy too! So glad we went!
Book it. Now.

I was really nervous to book this as I don’t consider myself it. I’m so glad I did. It was the highlight of my trip and so beautiful and so much fun. Yamille was very knowledgeable and personable. Most of the climbing and hiking wasn’t bad at all. The only hard part is the giant paved hill back to the top.
I wouldn’t recommend if you struggle with balance or have little ones with you. Also get the good water hiking shoes!
11/10 recommend!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Yamille. The tour was absolutely fantastic & I can truly say that I have never met a more beautiful soul. From the time we got in the van, Yamille told us we were family & my mom and I truly felt as such. The caves were spectacular and the river trekking/swimming was incredibly unique. I will say that this is definitely an intense tour — you need a certain level of physical activity to participate. Be comfortable with what is at times basic rock climbing. Would highly HIGHLY recommend. This is the best guided tour I’ve been on.
AMAZING!!!!!

Yamala is an extraordinary tour guide, and she has created a fantastic experience for her physically fit guests that like adventure. She helped us explore rivers and caves safely, and along the way gave us all training on scrambling techniques and shared with us stories of Puerto Rico culture and history. Her bright personality added worlds to the experience, and she also served as photographer & captured ample excellent photos of our exploration - what a fantastic way to spend a day! I highly recommend this tour if you are agile and like exploring new beautiful places in nature.

From start to finish, Yamille was communicative. She treated us like family and kept all of us safe during the duration of this great adventure. Listen to all that she says regarding prep prior to coming on the tour. Make sure you have good river shoes with a good bottom. Dress accordingly. From pick up to drop off just a great adventure had by all. The local stop for lunch was excellent and the small hike to a swimming hole afterwards was a good time. You can't go wrong with the cave/river tour. She brings you further where no other guides go. Thank you Yamille for a great time!
Best experience of entire trip

From booking through drop-off, this was the most memorable part of our trip. The owner personally greeted us and led us through preparation and registering. She was exceptionally knowledgeable about the geology, ecology, and cultural aspects throughout our excursion. She seemed personally committed to us having the best experience of what Puerto Rico had to offer. The scenery was unbelievable and the experience of a lifetime.

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above.
