“The experience is something we will never forget for some good and bad reasons. The views and waterfalls were beautiful and amazing! The things I wish were better are that I wish our guides took more time to explain things to our group instead of rushing through everything. I understand that there are time restraints on the experience but they completely left out a lot of very important safety information. 4 out of 7 of my group left with injuries that could have been avoided and really effected the rest of our vacation. For that I recommend saving this for last on your itinerary. I think the guides need to…”

Guides such as Jason, Adriana, Chris, and George lead the rainforest portion, while a separate kayak team handles the bioluminescent bay. Pickup is offered from San Juan.

“Jason and the trip leaders were great! They made the experience fun and had a lot of information about the rainforest. The hike itself was muddy and had quite a bit of rock climbing. While it was beautiful, it was a heavy traffic area. There were long lines for the water activities due to so many groups-and we even went on a Sunday. I don’t regret doing it, it was very fun, but was looking forward to seeing more nature and less tourists. The kayak portion of the trip was fun. It was the off season but we were able to see some of the glow in the water. The…”
