Amazing AMAZING experience and so much better than expected and mind you this is coming from someone who hikes often and visits Puerto Rico just as often as I’m from the west part of the island. However on this trip I wanted to try something different and looked into some adventurous activities for an adrenaline junkie and I came across Tanama River Adventures so I signed up and went this past Wed with my best friend and did option 3 ((next time FOR SURE I’m doing option 5!)).Our tour guide and nature expert was Omar and he was amazing. You always hear about people that love their job so much that they don’t consider it work, but have you ever met such a person??? We have, in Omar… he is extremely knowable about his surrounding and the great outdoors and the island itself and is very passionate about it. In the middle of an amazing adventure he took the time to explain the local plants, the caves, rock formation, evolution of rock/cave formation over time and history about the island and it’s native people… and throughout all this you did not want to miss out on anything he had to say! This is not just a job for him or the people that are part of the Tanama River Adventure team, it’s a way of life for them and it’s so inspiring. The whole team is amazing and friendly. They are dedicated in showing and sharing with you what they are so passionate about all while making you feel like family!Getting there was a bit tricky, do-able but a bit tricky, my house is in San Sebastian North West of the Island and about an 45 min from the town of Utuado and gave myself a 2 hour head start which was needed as I took a few wrong turns BUT I made it with enough time =) IF you are coming from the San Juan area which is north east of the island I would give your self a 4 hour head start only because there is a lot of traffic leaving the San Juan area and if you are not familiar with the country side of Puerto Rico (some parts are a bit rugged) you are going to want to give yourself some extra time. **Please don’t let the 4 hour head start discourage you as this is something you are NOT going to want to miss out on… your eyes will have a feast with all the beauty and untapped wilderness you will be surrounded by and it is worth the drive!!!If you want an adventure, a true and real one, this is it, if you are an armature or an expert that’s fine as they have different options that will cater to what you are looking for, but don’t pass this up if you are on the island you must go!!!! You will not be disappointed.

To say this trip was F***ING AMAZING! Is an understatement. Fernando, Omar and Alex were great tour guides. Their priority is your experience, comfort and safety. These guys are a well-oiled machine when it comes to safety and knowing how to give you a good time. This place can be dangerous so without them; you may not come back alive (no joke). The tour is well organized and you see some amazing sites. It's a physical tour and a lot of water action. The 120 ft. Repel was awesome. The rivers, cave tours, waterfalls and cliff jumps are also highlights. If your a history buff like I am, you get that too! These people are extremely passionate about their Taino culture and want to spread the word. Well worth the the money! Will go again

I’ve always loved Puerto Rico, but it wasn’t until this recent trip that I discovered why Puerto Rico is called The Island of Enchantment. My friend and I wanted to explore the rainforests and mountain areas. We came across the Tanama River Adventures website and liked every tour option they had to offer, so we decided to make reservations. I received a response from Fernando who was very thorough and quick to respond to all of my questions. I had been on many hikes before and wasn’t expecting this to be any different. Finding the location was a bit tricky but it was well worth what we were about to experience. We were met by the extremely friendly Omar and BJ who would be our guides for the next few hours. Omar and BJ were very attentive ensuring our safety from the moment the adventure began. After putting on our gear Omar began the tour with a brief history lesson of Puerto Rico and a few things we would be seeing on our adventure such as the different rock formations. We hadn’t even left the office yet and I was already impressed!!! He even stopped to educate us on a few plants in the area before we got to the river. Every step of the way he took time to teach us about the land and his love for Puerto Rico. He is extremely knowledgeable and was always ready to answer any question we had. You can tell he truly enjoys sharing all that he knows. The edifying moments for me was hearing about Puerto Rico’s history, culture and the natives. I had so much fun seeing bats for the first time, walking through pitch black caves, playing in waterfalls, trekking and sometimes swimming through parts of the river just to get to our next destination. But this is not your typical hike/rafting/cave tubing/rappelling adventure. While you do get all of those things you also get something that will resonate with you long after it’s over. The entire adventure was more than I could have imagined, and I highly recommend Tanama River Adventures to any and everyone.Good Job guys! I’ll be back for Option 5

Derek was our guide. Very personable and knowledgable about the biology, the geology, and other -ologies that we encountered during our 4 hours of hiking, wading, tubing thru the trails, river, and caves. Very patient with the slower ones and solid emphasis on safety. And the meal provided at the end, prepared by someone in the community, was delicious.

Had been to the Tanama River before but not with Tanama River Adventures, and I have to say that it was quite an experience. Fernando, the owner, and BJ his assistant were extraordinary guides. They explained and pointed at the different flora, fauna (spiders and bats), fossils, and rock formations. The best part was a 120 feet rappel from the edge of one cave opening into a huge cathedral nave like cave with a river running through it. Then the river walk, refreshing. To close the experience, an arroz con habichuelas in familia lunch with Fernando and BJ. Will do it again.

Seriously the best experience of my life! We were so lucky to come upon Fernando, who owns and operates Tanama River Adventures. The cave tubing, hiking and rock repelling was of course amazing and beautiful in itself, however I don't think that the experience would have been half as wonderful if we did this tour with a different company. There are a bunch of companies that offer these tours but trust me, you want to go with Fernando. This incredible tour guide took the 3 of us, by himself, making it so much more intimate and special. He would stop and point out uniques plants and took us to a fresh water stream for drinking and even showed us a type of mud used for mud masks! Fernando is so genuinely passionate about the rainforest! He loves the rainforest and has dedicated his life to learning about it. He was eager to teach us about the flora and fauna, the animals and the mysteries of the area.At the end of the tour the owner's wife had a fabulous home cooked, traditional Puerto Rican lunch perpared for us....such sweet and genuinely kind hearted people! I will never forget this amazing experience!

One of our primary motivations for visiting PR was to dive so it is ironic that our favorite experience took place in the mountains in the middle of the island. We booked the rappel and cave tube option with our 18 and 21 year old children. We had an absolute blast. Fernando and his team were committed to safety and education in addition to fun. To say they love to teach about their island would be an understatement. The caves and rivers were beautiful. The hiking was mildly difficult but the pay off was a one of a kind home cooked meal in a small family owned village. I encourage everyone to check out Tanama River Adventures!

Every time I turned around on this adventure, I felt like saying, "you've got to be kidding, that can't possibly be real!" The adventure started right away with the vehicle soaring up and down over the amazing hills (and steep roads), followed by a short hike down to the rappelling cliff (with a brief stop for some amazing oranges off the tree). Then rappelling, then tubing, then another amazing hike, then two more caves, a lovely capper of a climb out of the valley, and a satisfying home-cooked lunch. Much too much to fit in a few paragraphs.I heartily second the other comments about Fernando: he was born to do this. Warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and careful about safety (I watched how he handled the rappelling and his technique is sound).The four of us (including two kids 10 and 12) were in a largish group (14 total), but there were four guides total who were all great guys, so we never felt abandoned. Can't possibly recommend this enough.

Go for this excursion and you'll have wonderful memories of a most unique area of the world. Fernando was an exceptional guide! I had no intention of repelling but ended up doing so because my option sounded way more difficult and dangerous! So after a short hike from our truck, we repelled 45' down the side of a canyon wall. It's shocking and thrilling that I did it! Fernando insisted I could do this and gave me the confidence I initially lacked. It was a blast! As we hiked down and up in the canyon, waded/ swam, and tubed in the Mariposa River, tubing into the most unique cave system, we learned about plant life, the rocks, minerals and the geological makeup of this beautiful part of Puerto Rico. When we met Fernando at his office, he showed us his collection of fossils, minerals and an assortment of other items he found in the canyon. He spoke about his Taino culture-and his lifestyle which was fascinating. This trip is unlike any typical vacation excursion! There was a delicious hearty and typical Puerto Rican home cooked lunch served by Fernado's wife after our tour. Have fun and send our regards!

This is the type of place I would recommend for my family (blood or not) who seek out to connect with nature and really understand the environment. Fernando shares more than knowledge from a textbook, he shares wisdom that can only be gained by living with the people and in this place. The adventure was not about an adrenaline rush repelling down 240 feet, crawling around caves, or tubing. Although we did these things the real adventure was letting go of the stress cords that bind me to society so I could connect with nature. The lunch prepared by Fernando's wife after was wonderful. Our own private adventure, no big crowds on this tour.
