El Yunque Waterfall Hike & Swim from San Juan: Small-Group Tour
El Yunque Waterfall Hike & Swim from San Juan: Small-Group Tour★★★★★★★★★★ 4.80 (3,042)4h–5hA small-group hiking and swimming tour in El Yunque National Forest departing from San Juan with pickup from your hotel, a professional bilingual guide, park entry and lifejackets included. The route covers the Eastside of the rainforest with a 30-minute hike to the first mineral water pool, then a 15-minute climb to a second watering hole with natural waterfalls. The guide shares the ecosystem and history along the way, and Saturday departures follow a steeper, muddier route suited to travelers in strong physical condition.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're arriving in San Juan with a free morning or afternoon and want to swim in waterfalls without renting a car or navigating the rainforest alone—the guide handles the route, the timing and the ecosystem knowledge, and you show up at your hotel ready to go.Free cancellationTravelers' pickMost bookedfromUS$ 56View ›
Arenales River Caving & Waterfall Trek Swim Limestone Canyons
Arenales River Caving & Waterfall Trek Swim Limestone Canyons★★★★★★★★★★ 4.98 (1,775)7h–8hThis river trekking and caving activity in the Arenales area combines swimming through greenish-blue pools, canyon exploration, cave passages and optional cliff jumping (8 to 20 feet) with a hike to a hidden natural spring. The early start keeps groups small, and an experienced certified guide provides navigation and local knowledge. Requires good physical fitness, basic swimming ability, balance and sturdy water shoes; lunch at a local restaurant is separate.Is it for me?The 7 to 8 hour commitment means you'll need a full morning and afternoon free, which rules out a quick activity between other plans. That length is what makes the full route possible—river canyon, caves, optional cliff jumping, lunch break and the nature reserve hike—without rushing any section or cutting a stop short.Free cancellationfromUS$ 125View ›
