Good variety with...
Good variety with rainforest, food and beach. Loved the waterslide in nature and how smooth it was. Walking up to it in socks was a great recommendation. Loved seeing lizards, bananas and plantain trees.

Great excursion!
We had an amazing time on the El Yunque waterfall/Luquillo beach excursion! The scenery was beautiful, the experience was fun and memorable, and everything was well organized. Our guide, Brandon, was very helpful in getting everyone in the water safely. He patiently explained how to approach and go down the slides safely and always checked in on everyone making sure everyone was good. Luquillo beach was beautiful and the only beach I saw on my trip without sargassum! There are lots of food options along Luquillo beach. Highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Puerto Rico! 🌴💦
