Our tour guide will meet you at the pickup location, at the previously accorded pickup time (call us for confirmation).We'll then go east for around 45 minutes to El Yunque. Throughout the ride, live commentary and interpretation of your surroundings, as well as information on our Puerto Rican heritage, can be provided in both English and Spanish.
We will see La Coca Falls and Yokahu Tower once we get in the Rainforest. Then, for around 20 minutes, you'll walk through the flora till you reach the river stream on a nature walk path (look out for slippery, uneven ground). Remember to bring your towel and swimsuit! (Swimming is dependent on the weather.)
After the rainforest, we'll board the bus again and travel to Luquillo Beach and Kiosks, where we'll stay for two hours so you can eat or relax on the beach before returning.
Finally, we'll wrap up the day by returning guests to their original pick-up location.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Playa Luquillo
After all that trailing in the Rainforest River, it will be time to unwind, laze and eat to your heart’s content at the Luquillo Kiosks and Beach. You’ll also have the time to relax on the beautiful beach of Luquillo and enjoy the savory local cuisine the Kiosks offer… Have a good time!
2. Yokahu Observation Tower
This 69 foot tower was built by Dr. Frank H. Wadsworth (former Forest Supervisor and Director of IITF) in the early 1960’s. Four types of the forest can be viewed from Yokahú Tower: Colorado (smooth to the south), Tabonuco (irregular surrounding with white-leaved Yagrumos), Palm (on the steep slopes) and Cloud Forest (on the ridges) are all visible along with the coastline and all the way to the Virgin Islands on a clear day (10 mile + view). The dense old forest of the Baño de Oro Research Natural Area in the upper Mameyes Valley to the east may also be viewed.
3. Catarata La Coca
At an elevation of 1, 476 feet (450 meters) above sea level, La Coca Falls is a spectacular waterfall! The waters of La Coca Falls drop 85 feet (26 meters) onto a huge rock formation at the bottom of the falls. This is an excellent spot to take photos.
4. El Yunque National Forest
This short trail descends through Tabonuco trees in the lower montane forest to the federally designated “Wild and Scenic River,” the Río Mameyes. As you get closer, the roar of the rushing river pulls you onward to Las Damas Pool and other favorite swimming spots. This is a nice trail for families with younger children and school groups. This trail received a lot of flooding and damage after Hurricane Maria. The replacement of the pedestrian bridge was partially funded by donations through the National Forest Foundation (NFF) working with the nearby Wyndham Rio Mar Grand Resort and their guests.

Rafael was a great guide, super nice! You don’t really spend much time in the rainforest, just a very quick walk through and like 30 mins at a river which was a bummer if you were looking for a little bit of a hiking experience. Lots of time on the bus. Luquillo beach was beautiful and fun though! Best part

Overall, a nice excursion. We were lucky and were one of the last picked up at our hotel, so we didn't spend a lot of time picking up other travelers. That being said, we wasted time at a fruit stand waiting to meet up with other groups for the tour. Didn't realize we were heading to the fruit stand first and I had already eaten thus I had nothing to do there. The rainforest walk was an easy hike over a rock covered path. The swimming area was fun with the cliff jump and rope swing. Our tour guide of the rainforest gave some interesting information but it was a fairly short walk. Beach and restaurant area afterwards was nice. We had a great lunch at kiosk #1. Beach was basic, no umbrellas or chairs to rent and not enough time to actually spend at the beach.

The tour guide was nice, but there wasn’t much “Live-commentary and interpretations about the Ecosystem”. I really enjoyed the river swim, that was a lot of fun. I was expecting more nature like birds and animals of some kind. The walk was very short and there were lots of people at the river. The beach was pretty, but I wish we would’ve gone there first and then rinsed off in the river. Overall though the day was fun.

This was a really nice tour but I wish we would have seen more of the rain forest. We walked for about 10 minutes before getting to the water. The tour guide was really nice and knowledgeable.
