When is the best time to book?
Can kids ride?
Yes! We don’t have a minimum age. We are going on an adventure. Your child will need to ride and go on a short hike. If your child is under 40 inches their feet may struggle to reach the stirrups. We regularly have families with children join us. If your child is excited about going to river, they will probably love it! We have special ponies and special saddles with seat belts for them. They are usually assigned to a staff member who will ride beside them and assist throughout the ride.
If your child is particularly fear driven, struggles with balance, has special needs or you have any concerns about the experience, please contact me. I can get your questions answered and help you decide if the Rainforest River Ride Adventure is a good fit for you and your family.
What if it rains?🌦️🌈
We probabaly will have a rainbow!🌈 But seriously we are located in the El Yunque Rainforest area so it does rain here. People often say that the rain made their adventure even cooler. We don’t normally have to cancel for weather. If we do cancel for weather, we will reschedule or refund your tickets.
Sometimes the river is crystal clear and sometimes, if its been raining the deeper pools may have too much current for swimming. You can still wade in at the waters edge and enjoy the refreshing water and the beauty of the Espiritu Santo and the AMAZING views!
If you have your heart set on swimming and want to cancel if that’s not an option, let us know. Your satisfaction is our priority. Looking forward to sharing an amazing Rainforest River Ride Adventure with you.

How do I book?
How do I get there?
We are easily accessible via car located approximately 25 minutes east of the airport in Rio Grande.See us on Google Maps
👁️Carefull!👁️ Some directions will route you through Guzman Abajo. The road is closed. If you use the Guzman Abajo exit, TURN LEFT, (not right), then sharp right at the bar and cross the bridge. By then your directions should have reloaded and you will be arriving in about 5 minutes.
It’s easy to use a Taxi🚕 Here are my favorite transportation companies:
Samuel’s Taxi Service 787 688 2961 towels, water, blanket, cooler with ice, navigation and tolls included. Very reasonable prices and way easier than renting a car, parking and insurance. Round trip including a stop to eat at a restaurant or kiosk is approximately $150 from Isla Verde.
Max Luxury Transport 939 269 8459 Round trip transport from anywhere in the metro area is $200. Includes tolls, tips, and wait time for a bite to eat after your tour.
Anthony Reyes Taxi Services & Tours 787 478 0806 approximately $70 from San Juan
Uber is also a popular choice!
Some pointers to arrive: PR186 to Bella Vista, PR 9960. When you pass several junked school buses, the road levels off, and we are the next entrance on the left with a white metal fence at KM 1.9. If you arrive at the tree house you just missed us…
Parking is on the street in front of our gate. Its a secure area.
Remember to fill out your on-line waivers, if you haven’t already, and bring shoes with tread and clothes that can get wet. Better yet wear your bathing suit and water shoes. Pack light, but remember your camera 📷

Rainforest River Ride Adventure
Receive a brief orientation to horseback riding in case you are new to riding and get introduced to our beautiful horses before mounting up and heading to the river.
Ride down the mountain into the rainforest on a trusty criollo amidst hanging fruit, bird song, fresh breezes and spectacular views of the rainforest peaks of El Yunque and El Toro.
We park the horses and descend on foot down steep rock stairs to the beautiful Rio Espiritu Santo to explore the spectacular pools and experience swimming in the spring fed pristine mountain water at our infinity pool.
Ride back up the mountain taking in the breathtaking views of the expanse of El Yunque. As we reach the stables and snap some more photos, you finish your adventure at the lookout sampling fresh in season fruit right off the tree.
Available to book online! Approx 2 hours
