“We did the **Half-Day El Yunque Rainforest Water Slide and Rope Swing Guided Tour** with Spotin Tours, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, **Orlando**, was amazing from start to finish. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure every single person in the group felt safe and comfortable — especially the kids. We went as a family, and even our 6-year-old had a blast doing both the natural water slide and the rope swing!

The trail is muddy and some of it had difficult tree roots to climb over and rocks to get up, but our tour guide helped us with all of that. The only thing I did not like about the tour was how many other tours were at the same place there was literally hundreds of people in one small area.…”

While the hike isn't super difficult it's not your basic hike. However Adriana made me feel comfortable and gently encouraged me at the appropriate times. I appreciated her encouragement and supportive style as well as her knowledge of the rainforest flora and fauna. But most of all I appreciated her fun and sunny personality. I really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Adriana as a tour guide. 5 stars.”
