This place is by far the best value for your money in the ziplines around El Yunque. Rocqui, the owner, leads most groups himself and is extremely knowledgable about the local ecology. He and Jomar were very patient with the more apprehensive members of our group and made it a fun and educational experience for everyone. Rocqui even gives his cell phone number out and invites groups to text him for directions and restaurant recommendations in the area if needed. We highly recommend YZA and are already looking forward to our next trip!
My 17 yr old and 21 yr old daughters did the zip lining today. They really enjoyed it! There was some hiking involved but they had a lot of fun.
We had a great time on this excursion. We had a pretty big group so they were kind enough to open a time slot for us when they were not otherwise going to go. Good start. They were very good about communication leading up to our date, and helpful with directions. Eric, our main guide, was very safety conscious, friendly and helpful. They go though the procedure well, so you know what's coming. There are a variety of zip lines and a rappelling bit at the end that's a lot of fun. Bring bug spray. There was one short wait at the end where we were bitten by some sort of gnats. The views are gorgeous, it's worth it just to be there. This is well worth doing.
Views were fantastic, guide was really knowledgeable about the environment which was an added bonus. We all had a great time, including 50 year old mom (birthday celebration).. None of us had zip lined before, but we felt 100% safe. Really beautiful spot. Thank you!!
Roqui & Eric were great tour guides. They went out of their ways to help us and guide us through the zip line. While we waited for the others to complete the route, they filled us in on the rich history of the rain forest. They just had so much to tell us about the culture that as we hiked to the next level we wanted to hear more. I definitely recommend it.
Fun beyond believe. Safe adventure to learn about rainforest and have fun. This was our first time zipping, Eric and Roqui explained everything and made it easy. Must try while in Puerto Rico. Now I'm going zip when ever possible and I'm 50!
This was an incredible experience for me! I've never zip lined before and was nervous, but Roqui and Eric gave very good instructions before beginning the activity. The first 2 zip lines are set up in a way that if you decide it's not for you, you can stop and sit out the rest of the tour (although the tour is so much fun, so you should just do it!). Roqui gives a quick instruction before each zip line, then goes across so that he can help people at the ending platform. Eric stays behind and gets you hooked up to the zip line, and helps you get started, so that people of all levels can safely enjoy. Both of them are very friendly guys, and throw in some great facts about the forest, and also used some humor. The "hike" into the forest could be challenging if you've got mobility issues or if the ground is overly wet, however, I'm not in the best shape and did the hike very easily. They have put in ropes to hold onto for some of the steeper ascents, so it really is very safe and manageable. Do not pass this up! Truly amazing experience, and after we finished the tour, they even gave us great advice on things to do around the Luquillo area so that you're not driving out there just for the ziplining (although that would be worth the drive). And, the directions on the website to the meeting point are easy to follow, and Roqui even calls you 30 minutes before meeting, just to make sure you have the directions and will be able to make it out there okay.
We had a super time with Roqui and Jomar! They were both very friendly, professional, prepared and great about sharing their knowledge about PR in general, the rainforest and, of course, the adventure experience that they had worked to create! Everyone in our family enjoyed the entire experience - zipping, hiking, rappelling down the beautiful tree and just talking to the guides! The pace was easy-going and our only regret was that my mom (71) didn't come as she definitely would have LOVED it! This was a great choice by our daughter to celebrate her 16th bday on the island! Thanks guys!
Absolutely do the Yunke zipline tour! This was so much fun and our guide was so full of knowledge about PR and the private reserve where we did the ziplining. You do a small hike to the next platforms and the quality of the harnesses and gloves were excellent. We had so much fun and it's an easy outing for a few hours and then you can head to El Yunque and do some hiking to La Mina Falls.
