# El Yunque Hike, Waterslide & Luquillo Kiosks Food with Transport

**Guidekin's take:** El Yunque trails, a natural waterslide and a swim, then the Luquillo food kiosks, with a licensed guide, an air conditioned van, water and a local beer on the way back. Kiosk food is at your own cost, and hotel or port pickup comes only with the private upgrade. 4.94 from 122 reviews at €86 per person.

In our comparison: #26 of 70 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

The perfect intro to Puerto Rico! We specialize in curating an intimate experience — whether in small or larger groups — where every detail is taken care of so you feel comfortable and connected throughout the day.

Experience a day trip to El Yunque Rainforest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest system . Hike lush trails, slide down a natural waterslide, swim in refreshing pools, and pause at a small scenic waterfall perfect for family photos.

The adventure finishes at the famous Luquillo kiosks by the beach, where you’ll find dozens of local food spots. While meals are not included, we’ll recommend the best restaurants and dishes so you can savor authentic Puerto Rican flavors .

Round-trip transport from San Juan or Isla Verde keeps it easy and stress-free — and with our warm, attentive service, many guests say the experience feels as personal as it gets.
