My husband and I went on a tour with Jose today and it was the most INCREDIBLE experience of our whole trip to Puerto Rico! He picked us up early at our hotel and then took us to this incredible breakfast spot where I had this oatmeal that was like a slice of Heaven and my husband had a breakfast sandwich that was delicious! Along the way to the rainforest Jose showed us some of the favorite spots Heidi and him love to go all while sharing incredible stories ! When we got to the rainforest we were met by some incredible dogs named Bingo, Benji and Sasha who were the cutest things! Blackie, the other dog joined us a little later on the trail. Since it was so early we were the only ones in the forest and the beauty and tranquility was unparalleled, Heidi and Jose know what they are doing when they start this journey so early! You have a few hours to enjoy the solitude of the rainforest before all of the other people arrive! Jose was so knowledgeable about everything in the forest, showing us healing plants and telling us the history of it all. He made sure we were safe climbing up and down the rocks as we got to the most incredible water slide and water falls. We got to swim in the rainforest pools and dive into crisp clean waters! There really aren’t enough words to describe the beauty of this place, it is truly a spiritual experience! Jose made this experience so incredible, and Heidi has been a constant support as I had so many questions about our trip! After spending a couple hours of pure bliss we headed back out just as the swarms of people began pouring in- thank you Jose for the early call❤️!! Jose then took us to lunch where we once again had the most incredible food , and I left with a box full of delicious pastries! Along the way home Jose went out of his way to take us thru areas of interest and continued to share his vast knowledge of all the special spots to see and visit. H and J ISLAND ADVENTURES are more than a tour company, they are like family who welcome you with open and loving arms! I was sad when we pulled up to the hotel because it meant our time with Jose was over, but we will be back next year and our first call will be to Heidi and Jose! If 20 Stars could be given I would do that times ten!!! Serena and RJ Dillard

We had an incredible experience on our El Yunque rainforest tour! From the very beginning, communication was top-notch. Heidi made sure we were fully prepared, knew what to pack, and felt confident about the day ahead. Her guidance made planning so easy. Our guide, Jose, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, patient, and so fun. He gave us plenty of time to ask questions, take photos, and enjoy the natural slides and rope swings multiple times. We never felt rushed. The early morning wake-up was absolutely worth it to beat the crowds. By the time we were leaving, there were groups being turned away because the river was too high. We were grateful to have such an organized and thoughtful team leading the day. We left feeling like Heidi and Jose were friends, not just guides. We will definitely book with them again for future adventures!

Amazingggg hands down best experience José was so sweet very professional and treated my family like his own… the tour started off at 4:50 am for us ranging from ages 7-20 didn’t know how my girls would do that early, but they did so good my daughters had a blast we stopped for breakfast. Had the forest to ourselves, then finished off with a nice lunch! Heidi was the best it was my daughter’s birthday and they surprised her with sweet gifts! A couple of my girls were scared and by the end they did everything. jose made them feel so comfortable and was a professional during this hike!!! Thank you this was definitely the highlight of our trip!! ❤️ you guys treated us like family and made this experience very memorable. Hope to do it again in the future with you all highly recommend!!!
