“Marlon our guide was amazing! He was very thoughtful in keeping our safety in mind. Helped boost us up on steps when needed. Guided us where and how to walk. Do the water slide! The whole experience is great. He picks you up. Takes you to a stop where you can get coffee, empanadas, fruit, and smoothies. After the hike you go to Loquillo beach. Grab food and drinks there. Follow his recommendations. The food and drinks we had were phenomenal. You’ll have some time to hang at the beach. Tips: what I wish I brought with me. Flip flops to wear after the hike. Your shoes will get muddy.…”

4.Rainforest Zipline, Luquillo Beach, and Natural Springs Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 112 reviews · from $199

Spend about eight hours moving between El Yunque’s rainforest, natural springs, and Luquillo Beach. Pepeko Tours provides San Juan pickup, a small group of up to eight, zipline equipment, water, and guides such as Ruben, Reynaldo, Ian, and Steve. Expect a physical day with slippery rocks, wet clothes, late lunch, and plenty of outdoor action.

“Such a fabulous trip!!! Ruben is The Man and he truly loves this island. His brother has great tunes for the drive home. I was picked up on time and the last to board, but we were one of the first groups to the natural springs/water slides. Definitely pack extra socks/shoes. I'm a forest sprite at heart, so I went barefoot through the forest, but I would not recommend that for everyone. You will get mud on your shoes. I would pack a Cliff Bar because the water slides are exhilarating enough that you'll burn through even a great breakfast by the time you get to the zip line park.…”

I called them and I asked why they said “they didn’t have a jet ski” when I asked if they had any other events they could recommend they said jet skiing…seriously…we drove all the way down from San Juan and got an Airbnb for the night. Waste of time.”
