★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,928 reviews · from $25Our pick

Meet near Fajardo, then follow a local guide by car or use optional transportation into the eastern El Yunque area. After a 20 to 25 minute hike, you reach waterfalls, two natural slides, cliff jumps, and a rope swing. Guides such as Blu, Mike, Ramon, and Ray provide stories, snacks, water, photos, and videos.

“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…”

2.El Yunque Hike Adventure to Las Tinajas Waterfall from Fajardo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 52 reviews · from $125

Meet your guide at 8 a.m. near Fajardo, then hike through El Yunque to Tinajas Waterfall. Expect muddy trails, slippery rocks, ropes, natural pools, rock slides, and a swim before lunch at Luquillo Beach. Guides may include Rafael, Ian, Alex, Guillermo, or another member of the local team. Bring your own car and sturdy shoes.

“Rafael was great guide and helped us very well while climbing trail . Gave good suggestion for restaurant in Luquillo Beach. Just note that if you have younger kids < 5 years I would recommend that one of you stay at bottom of river with them and rest of your group can climb rocks to enjoy waterfall slides. Specifically mention to tour operators that you have toddler, not doing this caused little confusion in our case but that didn’t impact our experience at all .”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 29 reviews · from $35

Follow guides such as Nate, Eika, Sebas, or Ivan from Fajardo into El Yunque for a muddy jungle hike, river pools, natural rock slides, a rope swing, and optional cliff jumps. The four-hour outing includes water, life jackets, snacks, parking, entrance fees, and photos. You must drive your own car and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes.

“Really fun hike. Harder than expected. Knee deep in water at times. Attentive tour guide that has to balance the slow ones and active members of group. The only problem is the lack of pictures. I did the Tarzan jump and there was no video of that. But there was videos of the waterslide ,that I didn't participate in.That really missed the mark. Not many one on one pictures for families. Even pictures of the environment would have been nice. Busy hike, lots of groups in the watering holes. But it's hard to know what to expect. Overall I say go in open-ended. You won't be disappointed in the experience.…”
