About this experience
Connect with nature and breathe in fresh air on this 7-hour tour to Las Tinajas in Ceiba, Puerto Rico. The clear trails make this a highly family-friendly adventure!
We'll hike along an off-the-beaten-path trail for 20-30 minutes, where you'll encounter plenty of exotic plants and birds. Your guide will share all the details about the flora and fauna of this amazing place. At the Tinajas natural pool and waterfalls, you can swim in crystal-clear waters and choose to adventure on a swinging rope or even jump from rocks up to 15 feet high. Then, we'll proceed to another 5-10-minute hike to a natural pool with a 20-foot natural waterslide and the option for a 3-foot high jump from a rock.
After the El Yunque adventure, we'll indulge in local Puerto Rican cuisine. This experience will guarantee that you’ll want to come back to Puerto Rico every time you have a chance to escape to paradise! Guests will be transported with no more than 14 people in one vehicle.
