Eric was the man, the PR Fun Tours was always the Best of the Best with all of his super awesome Tours all over the island of Puerto Rico!

I had one of the best times on this all day near 12 hour trip with PR Tours! Our tour guide was Cruz. Overall he was very nice and helpful during the tour. We chose to do the El Yunque/BioBay combo tour. First you're picked up directly from the hotel around 9:30 am. They come straight to the lobby. You will be in a rather small shuttle and depending on how large your group is it may get cramped and stuffy in the shuttle vehicle. Lucky for me we had a great group that was a lot of fun. We really bonded in such a short period of time. First stop is El Yunque national rainforest. On the drive to the rainforest you watch a film that previews some of what you will be seeing in person and gives some historical info. Cruz brought us up to the very highest part of the rainforest so that we could hike mostly downward which is a hell of a lot easier and less strenuous. I recommend water shoes for the hike. You will stop at a waterfall and get a chance to swim around which was definitely the highlight of the day! After you leave El Yunque you stop at a strip mall of authentic Puerto Rican food stands. You eat (own expense) for about an hour and then go to a really nice beach for another hour and a half. After that you will be driven to the marina where you will start your kayaking. At this point the BioBay is run by a separate company. So I can't really include them in this review. All I will say is that the BioBay is not what you think it is if you have ever googled pictures of it. That's definitely not what you will be seeing on this tour. After you return from kayaking your original tour guide drops you back off at your hotel. All in all it's an exhaustive 12 hour day but it is an amazing experience and well worth the money! read more

In short, this is the most amazing experience I have ever had in my life. If you do NOTHING else while in Puerto Rico, you HAVE to do the Bio Bay tour. We hopped in the kayaks right before sunset and were paddling through the mangroves as the sun was going down. Since I was on this trip solo, one of the guides offered to do all of the paddling and told me to just relax and enjoy. No complaints here! The warm and salty air, the swishing of the paddles through the water... it was incredibly relaxing. We (he) paddled until we reached a lagoon at the end of the mangroves. It was pitch dark by this time. There was no moon, but more stars than I've even seen. Some of the group members even saw a shooting star pass by overhead. As we stilled our kayaks and gathered them closely into a group, these little tiny shrimp started jumping into our kayaks. As we put them back in the water, it started to glow each time we touched it. My guide told me to cup some of the water in my hands and blow on it. It started to sparkle and shimmer as if there was glitter in it. Then he told me to take some and pour it on my arm; again it sparkled and shimmered like a heavenly glitter as it ran down. As we all dragged our hands and paddles through the water, streaks of beautiful electric blue illuminated the path they followed. The trip back was almost a surreal experience as our kayaks and paddles carved a bright blue path through the dark mangroves. It was a simply magical experience. read more

We went on a rainforest bio bay combo tour yesterday. This was a tremendous experience. Our guide Erik was knowledgeable and friendly. Swimming in a waterfall is great but that water is COLD! Be sure to bring some water shoes. Tip: request the combo tour! It's an all day experience that gives you a little of everything. Morning in the rainforest, hiking and swimming in a waterfall. Afternoon sitting on a beach. Evening kayaking under the stars in a bio bay. read more

Had THE BEST experience EVER doing the El Yunque Rainforest Tour. Our tour guide Eric was beyond amazing- he is SO passionate and knowledgeable and FUN! We had no idea what to expect...and to wake up at 7 am after partying on vacation to hike all day---I was like---ummmm I don't know if I can do this. I almost stayed home. I was still half asleep when I got into the van and then it was just instant laughs and fun. The good vibes continued all day. There were 5 girls in my group, another couple (C&C) and a group of 3 other girls. Everyone got along great! Another guy joined our group and we loved him too. Eric started the tour with a background history of El Yunque. I am usually not a tour person- I like to do my own thing and if I'm on a tour- I'm like: let's get to the exciting part already....I don't like to sit and listen...BUT Eric was SO entertaining and informative I found myself hanging on to every word. And then when it was time to do the actual hike- he explained as we went along, took some great behind the scenes pics and when we got to the waterfall- was very helpful in taking pics as well. We made it to the end and stopped a great authentic spot for what was my fave food the whole trip....and pina coladas. This was the best part of my vacation and I just want to thank Eric for making it so special for us! read more

I arranged the El Yunque rainforest tour in PR for our trip last September. The yelp reviews about Eric were so amazing that I HAD to book him too! The reviews didn't lie!!! The tour was amazing because Eric made it that way. Sharing stories and telling us about the history of Puerto Rico. The trees the plant names the fruits the flowers.. There was not a question Eric couldn't answer and as we climbed, walked, and swam he was with us the whole time taking photos, holding bags... Just going above and beyond what a general tour guide does. read more

I literally just returned from this tour with Erik as our tour guide. Me and the wife couldn't be happier with our choice. Not only was it cheaper than what other tours offer, but Erik was very informative and was full of energy. He goes out of his way to snap group pictures like we were a family. Honestly, yes he is strict on time, but that's because there's a schedule he needs to follow because other groups have to be accommodated for the biobay tour. Anyways, I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with Erik and PR fun tours. -TJ read more

Speaking as a hotel concierge on the island, I can assure you that PR Tours is the most responsible, knowledgable and client-centered tour company I have ever worked with. The independent owner/tour guide's name is Erik, and no matter what I can always count on him to give the hotel guests the type of excursion they are looking for. Professionally, Erik is reliable and always communicative with important details such as pricing, pick-up time, things to bring and appropriate dress. A huge FYI to visiting tourists, many tour guides are NOT certified! If you have the opportunity of meeting Erik by booking a tour, you will see his certifications on his official badge. This is very important to how your experience will play out while on a tour. A knowledgable guide is better than one wasted money on. You can contact him through either phone, text or email and are guaranteed a response in no more than 30 minutes tops. Wow! What a breath of fresh air in comparison to other companies I have tried calling 10+ times in the past while trying to book a guest! An extra invisible 6th star for his nifty, live online booking featured on his website. By far, the easiest and most efficient way of booking on the island. If you already know which tour you are interested in booking (such as the Bio Bay. Who doesn't already have the expectation of visiting the bay?), then that is your immediate opportunity to get set up. Since I'm using the Bio Bay as a reference, I will also note that this excursion is almost (..almost!) impossible to book without a 2 week in advance reservation. However, Erik always has 14 spots pre-reserved and available EVERY NIGHT for the bio bay. People, if you are debating between companies, look no further. You have found a goldmine! Enjoy! And other concierge, meet your dream-come-true, hassle-free, easy-to-book tour company. At last! read more

The rainforest is beautiful, the beach was refreshing, and the bio bay was a lot of fun. I will separately review the bio bay kayaking tour since that was run by a separate company. What you pay for on a tour versus hiring a driver is a positive experience with excellent customer service and a fun tour guide. For that I would give this tour 1 star. Our tour guide Eric was inexcusably rude and condescending to me. He suggested we get breakfast in Plaza Colon which my group did. We didn't know that it would take more than 35 minutes to order sandwiches to go at the cafe there - this would have been good info for Eric to give us if the 9am start time was so strict. Eric berated me (and only me, not the whole group) before 9am for our group not being ready to go. Yes, we weren't ready at 9am, but that does not excuse how Eric talked to me or my group. We felt treated like children and not like customers. He told me the reason for his outburst was that we were picking up another group - I talked to them and they were expecting to be picked up later and didn't feel inconvenienced at all. He was condescending the rest of the trip, especially to the women. He kept commenting on the race of people on the tour. Eric misstated some of the facts he told us, and when people corrected him, he ignored them. My group would have preferred if the hike was a little longer or more challenging but for a combo tour it was a good sample of El Yunque. The restaurant we stopped at had very limited choices, especially for vegetarians / vegans or people that don't want to eat deep fried food. It was more of a street food vendor than a restaurant. I would recommend going to see El Yunque, Luquillo beach, and the bio bay - but not with this company! I am only giving this tour 2 stars because they were able to accommodate my large group with short notice after our other plans fell through. Edit: What lovely customer service from the owner that continues to berate clients. Why would you want to risk being treated so poorly when there are many other tour companies available? read more

We found Erik on Craig's List when we were in PR looking for a more "personal" tour, rather than on an impersonal bus... he was flexible about what we wanted to do and for how long, and VERY reasonably priced! And what we found was not only the BEST experience in PR, but the BEST tour guide and for less $ you would pay with a cattle bus tour! Erik picked us up at our hotel on time, and was enthusiastic, fun, extremely knowledgeable about the island, and showed us WAY more of PR then any bus tour would. He accompanied us every step of the way whether through the rainforest on a 3 mile hike to a waterfall, or taking us to the Kioskos for a snack... It was a GREAT day and we saw SO much of the "real" PR we HIGHLY recommend hiring him!! AWESOME, 7 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

On our last trip I tried to plan a lot while I was in TX but a lot of websites were very vague and other sites, once you called no one picked up. So it was hard to get reservations planned out in advance. Thus we had to visit our concierge the very first day. He was a lot of help but all of his contacts for booking tours were all sold out for the time we would be in Puerto Rico. That is where Yelp on the fly came into play. I was still really wanting to visit the bio-luminescent bay, and our concierge suggested just driving down there and hoping to coordinate with a company. I did not want to take that risk. Lucky for me I was able to find PR Tours with Erik. Erik is very responsive via phone calls and text messages. He was able to confirm everything and put my mind at ease. Even though we had rented a car his tour was all inclusive with transportation. At first we were a bit sad, but by the time he drove down there we were glad we did not drive. It was late and we would have been very tired. My only complaint was the kayak tour itself. On this particular night they were short staffed? So Erik stayed on shore to watch our belongings. The person he teamed up with was very informative, but did not allow for us to play in the bay very much. It's like you gotta fight all the way out to the bay, then you sit in a circle for awhile where the guy tells you about the stars and science. It was interesting, but I just wanted to see the glowing! Overall, Erik was the most responsive tour person I was able to contact while in PR. read more

My friend and I took the ride out to bio bay with Eric last night. Not only was he able to book me a kayaking trip out there in less than 24 hours notice, his prices were 20% less than the hotel tour desk rate. Being on my first trip to Puerto Rico, I was definitely hesitant. But when Eric and Eddie showed up we were pleasantly surprised by their promptness and nice ride, new white jeep. The trip out to the lagoon was awesome, never experienced an excursion as magical as this, but my arms are sore from the paddling. Nonetheless, these two guys got us home safely and even more educated on Puerto Rico. When I come back, I'm definitely booking a zip line tour and more with them! read more

I just did the biobay tour with two friends and it was amazing! Picked us up promptly and everyone was so nice. Most importantly, we were able to book the day of because another tour didn't work out. The biobay was amazing, and the tour allowed us enough freedom to really explore at our own pace. Wear a bathing suit and be prepared to kayak! I had never kayaked before and it was not easy but sooooo worth it!! read more

Memorable experience and beautiful atmosphere! This kayak trip is not easy by any means. To get to the moan area to see the plankton, you go thorough a small canal made of huge trees that jut out (could be dangerous). Majority of the trip is in pitch blackness. The best tine to go is during a new moon. One tip, wear water proof shorts and bathing suit! read more

Just got back from the Biobay tour.... AWESOMELY Great. Erik Did a fabulous job. From arriving early and being courteous to giving an interesting bit of history and fun factoids. The paddle was incredible and awe inspiring. You just cannot image how wonderful it is to paddle and see the plankton light up. We saw fish and a Sea Ray. It was totally worth the $. read more

My BF and I actually visited Carolina,Puerto RIco last July and were looking to do some exploring although we didn't want to have to Taxi it everywhere as we were on vacation yet still on a budget! My BF found Erik via web and got a hold of him very quickly and began planning for the couple days ahead! We decided to first do the Bacardi tour and Erik was very accommodating and cordial, he picked us up From the hotel, took us and joined us for the tour, after he even took us to some scenic views across where old San Juan was, I have to say this was all for a flat fee and I felt like we got a lot out of this trip for what we payed! As we were asking where all the authentic good food is outside of the casinos in the area and Americanized restaurants he invited us to dine out with his young son. We gladly accepted and he took us to eat the best of the best in an area that I recall as piñones! We felt right at home & enjoyed every bit of the culture and food! So of course we continued to book more tours with him, including El Yunque rainforest & a tour of the city Ponce. Erik was a great tour guide, down to earth, very informative about PR, and incredibly accommodating & we are very thankful & completely satisfied costumers! We will definitely be back! read more

Terrible experience. Total waste of money. I booked the rain forest + kayak bio bay tour. You figured that paying $150 + taxes (comes up to almost $180 you would have something decent. No. The tour guide Jose picked us up around 9am. The weather was bad. cloudy and rainy and they didn't cancel the tour. They won't cancel it for anything because they obviously just care about the money. With rain was impossible to see any birds or any animals in the forest. we couldn't bathe in the waterfall because of the rain too. The path was muddy and very slippery. So we just walked around while Jose spoke about many types of bamboo and showed pictures on this phone on how good this tour was a day before when you could actually have enjoyed something. It was raining buckets! We weren't offered even a single cup of water from 9am to 230pm! At 230pm we stopped to eat in a place were there was just one " restaurant". So we didn't have much of a choice. The food was ok though. while we ate the van was broken into and some of the tour guide's belongings were stolen. We went to a little beach nearby while Jose went to the police station. After that we went to the bio bay. The surroundings smelled bad. The kayak tour started very well with a beautiful scenery but the main attraction was such a disappointment. In the ad picture the person is paddling and you see the glowing of the plankton. When we got there they made us line up side by side in our kayaks and put a cover on top of us. The tarp was wet and stinky. We had to squeeze our arms in between the kayaks and hit the water to see the glowing though the glass bottom of the kayak. We did that for about 10 min and left. It was high tide and we had to go against the current which for inexperienced people was very challenging and dangerous. When we came back to land around 930pm they provided some chips and water (finally after 12 hrs). All guides were very polite. But it doesn't change the fact that the tour is really bad. To me everything was a huge false ad. I lost one precious day of vacation and lots of money that I could've done something way better. Actually anything would have been better than that. **don't go** read more

I've traveled all over! This tour is still on the top of my list!!! Highly recommend them

Awesome! We were in Puerto Rico for a day after we got off the cruise ship and wanted to tour the rainforest. We called P.R. Fun Tours, and Erik picked us up in front of our hotel. He was such a great tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and we learned so much! We had a great time hiking, swimming at the waterfalls, and learning all about the rainforest. We stopped at a super yummy place for lunch for some Puerto Rican food. It was the bomb! Thanks so much for a memorable day! We can't wait to come back and take another tour from you! read more

Or guide name was Papo, he was on time , very friendly , excellent driver . Great trip .

Very good tour Erik! He is so thoughtful and kind, and we enjoyed every part of the tour to El Yunque and BioBay!

Just called this place to get pricing after calling a few other places. I spoke to the guy that answered the phone. He gave me a higher price than what was shown on the website. To be polite, I said that I found a cheaper price elsewhere in order to get off the phone. His response was "no you didn't" in an extremely rude tone. I haven't offered a review in a long time and basing this on the initial customer service. This company really needs to address this. Inaccurate pricing and inappropriate comments is not a good start. read more

Absolutely wonderful! The person taking you on the adventure picks you up right in front of your hotel in San Juan which is very nice because you don't have to rent a car to get to the forest/lagoon. We had Alex as our guide and he was very knowledgable about the rain forest and took us to all of the waterfalls. After about 4 hours in the forest we went to have lunch at a beach front local restaurant which was AMAZING & AFFORDABLE! We got to drink, eat, and swim on the beach for about two hours before we went on our ride to the bioluminescent bay. read more
