5.00This was an absolutely amazing tour. Our guide was Wesley and he was the best tour guide we have ever had. The cave excursion was awesome and he kept us totally safe despite it being a pretty exciting and untamed natural environment we explored. I totally recommend it!
Amazing Experience! Highly Recommend.

5.00Our tour to Charco Azul with Wesley was one of the highlights of our trip. He made the entire experience feel adventurous, safe, and authentic from start to finish. Exploring the caves, swimming through the beautiful waters, and learning about the area was unforgettable. Wesley was knowledgeable, friendly, and brought great energy the whole day. We also loved getting to try some of the local foods along the way, which made the experience feel even more connected to the culture of Puerto Rico. If you’re looking for a tour that mixes adventure, nature, and local flavor, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend Wesley and this experience to anyone visiting the island.
Amazing!

5.00ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXCURSION! Brilliam was the BEST GUIDE! We hiked, swam in the several caves, jumped from cliffs. We did more then all of the other tours. Then he took us to an amazing food depot (guacaro bbq). An amazing assortment of Spanish foods.

Amazing 2 Adventures in One Package

5.00We booked this adventure package to celebrate our anniversary and our son's graduation. This was such a memorable experience. Our guide Wesley picked us up from our hotel; and since this was a private tour, timing was flexible. 1 hour drive to Playa Caracoles, where we hiked/climbed up the rugged rock formation to see the magnificent sea splashing against the rocks and making huge waves. There were numerous look out points that were high above the sea, yielding amazing vantage views below. There was a cave with ancient carvings on the rock. Going down via a narrow cave cleavage reauired some efforts. Half way into it, we decided against going all the way down due to high tides and rising water level below. Before this adventure began, the tour company arranged for a photo shoot with us holding a celebratory signage made of balloons (anniversary and graduation) against the backdrop of this beautiful scene. Nice touch, very thoughtful! The second part of this tour, the cave adventure of Charco Azul was 40 minutes away. Another local guide joined in addition to Wesley, providing us with additional safety measures and guidance of local geological insights. The journey down to the water caves required jumping off of a 10ft rock into the water, some swiming and hiking/climbing, swiming in pitch dark caves before reaching some magnificent waterfalls and feeling the power of nature while standing in the waterfall. Such an awesome journey, where we were part of the nature while the nature embraced us. Our tour guide Wesley, took video and photos of us throughout these two adventures, which was part of this private tour package. There was only one thing that I want to bring up, this tour supposedly includes water and alcoholic beverages, but we weren't provided with those. But it was fine, because we brought water on our own; and I didn't think drinking alcohol and cave adventure was a good mix.
Very adventurous experience!

5.00Had a great time and since it was thanksgiving, ended up being a private tour for two! Did some cave climbing that, for a city girl, was pretty intense. I do wish the description mentioned just how physical the climbing would be so I would have been mentally prepared at least. There were times I was quite nervous but all went well and we got to have an adventure we haven’t had before! I appreciate the photos as well as most tour groups don’t do that.
Awesome and so much fun.

Best Adventure of Your Life

5.00This was one of the most memorable adventures in my life. From walking through what seemed like the beautiful tropics of Jurassic Park to swimming though a cave to a waterfall. Next we traveled to the beach and saw the most beautiful rock formations I've ever seen. This is where we traveled into an opening of the cliff where our guide "Mr. B" did an incredible job of navigating and coaching us through a cave opening to see a stunning colorful pool inside the sinkhole (a cave with light on both sides). Climbing through there was an experience you have to live to believe. My wife an I were nervous but with his guidance and coaching we made it very safely and look forward to telling friends and family about the experience forever. We finished with delicious authentic food on the coast with an immaculate view. Other than one of the top adventures of our lives our guide was above and beyond in the knowledge of the incredible history of Puerto Rico and the hospitality he showed us during this entire perfect day. 10/10 absolutely must do!
