Overview

This experience is the same El Yunque experience you know and love, but this time fully private! Our certified guides go above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience for you! We focus on quality over quantity! We pick you up from the comfort of your accommodations. 

Each tour is led by a passionate and knowledgeable guide who wants to share his love for the island with you! This private tour is the perfect opportunity to learn more about Puerto Rico. From the incredible culture of our Taino ancestors to the hidden gems of this beautiful island, on this tour, we will walk through muddy trails that are only 1.5 miles long! Trails lead to natural streams, rope jumping, beautiful waterfalls, and natural pools with crystal-clear water! For the last stop, you will enjoy authentic Puerto Rican gastronomy next to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.

We are excited to have you here with us! Welcome to Puerto Rico, and we hope to see you soon on tour!
