3.El Yunque Hike Adventure to Las Tinajas Waterfall from Fajardo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 52 reviews · from $125

Meet your guide in Fajardo and drive your own car to a short but rugged El Yunque hike. Walk through rainforest, learn about local plants and animals, then swim, use rock slides, and enjoy lunch at a Luquillo Beach restaurant. Guides such as Rafael, Ian, Alex, and Guillermo have earned strong praise for safety and local knowledge.

“Rafael was great guide and helped us very well while climbing trail . Gave good suggestion for restaurant in Luquillo Beach. Just note that if you have younger kids < 5 years I would recommend that one of you stay at bottom of river with them and rest of your group can climb rocks to enjoy waterfall slides. Specifically mention to tour operators that you have toddler, not doing this caused little confusion in our case but that didn’t impact our experience at all .”
