Guidekin's take

El Yunque and a swim at Luquillo Beach in one run, with a private access point on the Pitahaya river for the waterfall and natural slides.

Round trip transport from San Juan is a separate option and the pickup schedule runs by neighbourhood; food at the beach kiosks is extra. 4.73 from 5,996 reviews at €36 per person.

In our comparison: #59 of 70 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
