We had a great time on this excursion headed by our tour guide. Jose! He was the driver and the tour guide and was very efficient. Picked us up right on time and let us know all the steps, and led us through the fun activities! Ended up with a great meal by the beach, and as promised back at the hotel right on time. We would highly recommend!

Hotel Pickup + Rainforest + Beach
Picked this tour because it offered pickup directly at my hotel and because it combined both the el Yunque rain forest experience with the perfect amount of time at Luquillo Beach. Had a great time including on the bus with the Puerto Rican music. Brandon is an excellent guide.
