A half day in El Yunque in a van of no more than eleven with the park admission, a natural waterslide, helmet, life jacket, water and snacks included.

Children ride from seven, the operator sets a weight limit, and heavy rain can cancel the slide. 4.86 from 370 reviews at €81 per person.

In our comparison: #29 of 70 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
