The scenery was really, really pretty and we had an awesome tour guide that made everything extremely interesting. Our tour guide (Edward) is also really cool and and really passionate about his job, which made the whole trip better.The car rides were not boring at all because Edward told us a bunch of interesting stuff about Puerto Rico and also himself. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ :D Oh yea and the caves were also really cool and it’s somewhat easy to get in with the tour guide (who is really helpful and patient)

The scenery is amazing. The arches are stunningly beautiful. We went on a day with strong wind and it turned out to be a blessing as we were able to see big waves and splashes. Our guide Airam was great, friendly and very helpful. The hiking can be a bit challenging. We brought our walking sticks and that was a great decision. The swimming part was good too. Waves were too big for normal swimming but were enjoyable. Overall we enjoyed the tour greatly.

Great day. 3 fantastic locations. Breathtaking views. Great photos. Fun group and great guides. Enrique and Cruz made us feel safe and gave us courage to do amazing things. THANKS

Jose and Cruz were fantastic! The caves and waterfall were breathtaking but we also learned a lot from our knowledgeable guides. Highly recommend.

Sarah was amazing, couldn’t have done it without her. 100/10. The trek definitely pushes you mentally!
