Awesome experience!! - We had a great time going through the beautiful river, waterfalls and through the caves. Our guide, Magaly, was very knowledgeable and thoughtful and made our adventure even more enjoyable. The Taino Indian Caves were very neat as well.

Best experience ever!!!!! - where do I begin!!!!!!!!! This was by far the BEST experience I have had in Pierto Rico. The caves, waterfalls, and views were absolutely amazing!!! The tour guide was the best. His knowledge was impeccable, and he made sure that we were safe at all times. He took some of the best pictures.

River caving with Enrique - We had a great day with Enrique. This trip is something that you can't do on your own and need an experienced, dedicated guide to make it special. Enrique was prompt, personable, and took our safety and well-being seriously. (Encountered a different tour group along the way that didn't have PFD's, helmets or the proper footwear. Who you go with makes a difference.) Plus, the lunch stop at a great roadside eatery was a plus. And he took lots of photos and videos of the four of us so that we could relive the experience. One note of caution -- you need a moderate level of fitness in order to navigate the narrow trails and slippery rocks that are a part of this trip. And don't worry about being claustrophobic--the caves are quite large and spectacular.

Such an amazing experience for any adventure lover - waterfalls, caves, Puerto Rican history, and beautiful views! - What an amazing day! We drove up the mountain and did a short walk over to our first stop - an incredible cave behind a waterfall. After spending our time wading through the river, we saw some Puerto Rican bats! Our second stop included a beautiful spot for some optional cliff jumping. We then changed, hopped back in the van, and headed off for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Finally, we headed to our last stop of the day, where we walked along an important historical cave system, saw hieroglyphs and an amazing view for beautiful pictures. Juan was the best tour guide could have asked for!

Amazing trip in Puerto Rico - Gabriel was fabulous! He is an excellent guide and took care of us through the caves as some members of our group were apprehensive in the water. He also took extra care in guiding us through the rough terrain of Cueva del Indio. Gabriel went out of his way to get to know us and provide us with an amazing experience that we will remember!
