If you really want to see the rainforest go with these guys! It was incredible. These guys are very knowledgeable and keep you safe while having an incredible time
Spent the day climbing, sliding, jumping,rappelling with Ricky and his 3 helpers in the rivers Icacos and Cubuy in the south side of El Yunque. I live in PR and wanted to take some friends from the USA in an adventure. You need to bring the proper shoes and clothing and expect to be exhausted at the end of the day. The great thing about Ricky was that he provided options; my kids ( 25 and 28) wanted to jump into every pond, ,slide down every rock, and my husband was not interested.Ricky provided alternatives; a path next to the river for the non thrill seekers while he made sure the younger ones did not miss anything .Ricky knows the river very well and you feel very safe with him and his staff.He never rushed us and allowed and helped the young ones to jump from the rocks as many times as they wanted.One of the prettiest sights in Puerto Rico!!! I would highly recommend this tour!!!
Loved our private, full day adventure in the south end of El Yunque. Guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It was a fantastic, fun day for my wife and I. Highly recommend for those that love nature and a little adventure.
Today march 8 i had a blast we did rapelling ,clift jumping , i felt so close to nature. Y thank luis miguel natasha lopez and ricky lopez for their help and hospitality.
We went on this tour with another couple we were traveling with. Ricky and his team did an incredible job of showing the ropes of the river with large cliff jumps, repelling, natural watersides, waterfall jumping, bouldering and a little hiking. We got really wet, along with our gear, but we were prepared. Bring shoes with good grip when wet, water and snacks. If you bring a camera ask for or bring a water proof shoes, water and snacks. If you bring a camera (recommended) ask for a waterproof box. You will be testing your comfort zone with adventures, but Ricky makes sure you are safe. We had a blast!
When Ricky started handing out the helmets , knee pads, heavy gloves and life vests we started to wonder what we had gotten into. When he packed his big machete we wondered if we should run. We were so glad that we stuck it out as Ricky is a wonderful guide and the two other guides that went along - one female and one male- demonstrated everything we were going to do and they all made me and my daughter feel that we were in good hands. I could tell that they had our safety in mind even though they did a lot of things to entertain us and make the trip fun . Be aware - you will have the chance to hike through a very rough trail in the forest , crawl over and under large rock formations, hike up and down a waterfall and go under the rushing water of the falls. There are quite a few other adventurous things we learned and tried but I don't want to give it all away. Ricky has 4 and 6 hour tours and believe me we thought 4 hours was plenty although he actually spent more than 5 hours with us with setup and drive back to the starting point. The landscape and the views are gorgeous and Ricky takes a lot of photos they he gives to you for free. Such a great extra. Highly recommend as a once in a lifetime experience.
Only for the true nature lovers!!! I have been on many tours throughout the island (as I am a local) and there is no comparison with the level of service and excellence that Montaña Explora provides. I don't think I've ever met anyone with as much knowledge, experience and amazing attitude. Not to mention that the places we visited were out of this world.
We took this tour on Feb 14 to celebrate San Valentine, to do something different!!! and wow!! what a amazing experience what this!!!! Ricky and his team did a excellent job!! You do everything on one tour! Rappelling, Hiking, River Trekking, Cliff Jumping you are going to see all the beautiful water falls, swimming, sliding and much much much more!!! We would love to go back and do more fun stuff!!! I really recommend this tour to anyone!!!!
I have been to PR many many times!!!!! And done many tours on the island. This is by far the best one I have ever been on. Ricky is very experienced and his team is well trained. I would do it again any day!!!!
If you love nature and live for thrilling adventures then this tour should be your first choice when you visit Puerto Rico. The tour is the most compelling proof that Puerto Rico’s nature is up to world standards as you will interact with miles and miles of crystal clear waterfalls. Our tour guide, Ricky, is a guy with tons of personality who will make you feel at the edge of you seat. The place is a hidden gem in the Caribbean with no signs of pollution, so prepare for the time of your life!
