At PR Fun Guides, adventure is our passion. Based in Luquillo Beach, we’ve spent years exploring El Yunque—both with and without tours—learning its hidden trails, secret waterfalls, and untouched swimming holes.
Our friendly, CPR-certified guides have built relationships with locals, discovering the rainforest’s best-kept secrets and secluded spots that most visitors never find. We don’t just take you on a tour—we share the El Yunque we know and love, giving you a safe, private experience designed around how you want to explore.
Hidden in the lush mountains of Puerto Rico’s northeast coast, El Yunque National Forest is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System—and one of the island’s most breathtaking destinations. Covering 28,000 acres of misty peaks, cascading waterfalls, and ancient trails, it’s a place where nature, history, and adventure collide.
El Yunque is known for its incredible biodiversity. Here, you’ll find giant ferns, towering bamboo groves, and vibrant flowering trees like the African Tulip and Tabebuia. The rainforest is also home to the famous coquí frog and the endangered Puerto Rican parrot, along with a variety of birds, lizards, and hidden wildlife you won’t find anywhere else.
But what truly makes El Yunque special isn’t just its scenery—it’s the feeling of being immersed in something wild and untouched. While many visitors stick to the main roads and crowded lookouts, those who venture off the beaten path discover hidden waterfalls, natural swimming pools, and secluded trails that reveal the rainforest’s true magic.
Whether you’re hiking to La Mina Falls, La Coca Falls, or the lesser-known Juan Diego Falls, climbing the Yokahu Observation Tower, or swimming in secret jungle pools like The Fountain of Youth, El Yunque offers an experience unlike any other and it’s not one to be missed.
Yes! If you want more time to explore, we can arrange a custom full-day tour tailored to your interests. Our weekend half-day tours must be booked online, but for a full-day adventure, simply fill out our custom tour request form or call us directly.
Our weekend half-day tour lasts about 4 hours in the rainforest, plus time for transportation and a brief stop in town. These tours run twice per day on weekends and can be booked instantly on our website.
Guests should wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen if they plan to enjoy the waterfalls and swimming pools. A camera is also recommended to capture the breathtaking views. Forgot something? No worries—we provide water, snacks, and even essentials like towels and sunscreen if needed.
Food is not included, but we allow time for a lunch break at a local restaurant or smoothie shop so you can enjoy authentic Puerto Rican flavors.
Yes, we typically stop in Palmer after exploring El Yunque, where you can browse local artisan shops and pick up souvenirs.
El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System, offering a rare ecosystem of lush greenery, hidden waterfalls, and diverse wildlife found nowhere else. Unlike most group tours that stick to the main roads, we take you deeper into the rainforest for a more immersive experience.
Our standard meeting location is Wendy’s Parking Lot in Brisas Del Mar, Luquillo. Pickup is available in Luquillo and nearby areas, while pickup from San Juan or other non-standard locations is available for an additional cost.
For small groups, we use a rugged, air-conditioned Jeep that handles the rainforest terrain with ease. Larger private groups can request a private van or bus, but we never mix groups—every tour remains private hosting only your group’s perfect agenda.
Your safety is our priority. If the weather or park conditions make the tour impossible, we will either reschedule at no extra cost or issue a full refund if rescheduling isn’t possible.
Our weekend half-day tours are the fastest way to explore El Yunque—no forms, no hassle, just pick a date and book online instantly. If you’re looking for a custom full-day adventure, we’re happy to plan a tour just for you.
If you prefer a structured, large-group tour with a set schedule, several companies offer El Yunque excursions.
These tours follow fixed routes with predetermined stops, timed visits, and larger group sizes.
Here are the most well-known options—each with its own advantages and limitations.
Fine Line Excursions follows a strict schedule with short, guided hikes to popular waterfalls and viewpoints. While this keeps things moving efficiently, it leaves little room for spontaneity—so if you find a place you love, you won’t be able to linger.
Puerto Rico Tour Desk blends history and nature in a one-day itinerary, making it a solid choice for those who want a broad overview of Puerto Rico. However, the El Yunque portion is brief, making it less appealing for travelers looking for a deep dive into the rainforest.
This tour prioritizes comfort and convenience with a fixed itinerary, local commentary, and a streamlined route. However, the pre-planned schedule means no extra time at stops, limiting exploration of El Yunque’s hidden gems.
Charlie’s MBtion VIP Tours offers slight modifications to its set route, giving guests a bit more control over their experience. However, these adjustments are minor, and major changes (like extended time at a particular spot) typically aren’t an option.
The Amador Tours include historical and cultural sites in addition to El Yunque, making it ideal for those cramming multiple attractions into one day. However, if your main focus is the rainforest, this may not be the best choice, as time in El Yunque is limited.
The Chinchorreo Bus / La Chiva Chinchorreos tour provides a laid-back, local-style adventure with multiple stops, including a brief visit to El Yunque. While great for those who want a social atmosphere, the rainforest portion is very short, making it a poor fit for those looking for an immersive nature experience.
