P.R. Tours

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

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

Stay away from this company. I was super excited to go on the Bio Bay tour up until I got in the van with Eric. From the hotel to Fajardo, it’s a 45 min to an hour drive. Eric was driving like a maniac passing cars around corners over hills. Did not care for the safety of his 14 passengers. When I asked him to slow down he yelled at me to shut up and that I had hired him to do the driving and he didn’t need a backseat driver. When we finally arrived at bio bay, I told him that my partner and I would not be doing the tour and wanted our money back as he was so disrespectful to us. He then cursed at me and said he was not going to refund our money. The next day I find out through the concierge at our hotel, who works for dragonfly adventures by the name of Valeria, that Eric had texted her and said that we had a panic attack and did not do the tour. This man is seriously crazy or on some hard drugs. He blatantly lied about the entire incident. STAY AWAY FROM PR FUN TOURS, ERIC, DRAGONFLY ADVENTURES, EMBASSY SUITES HOTEL & CASINO ISLA VERDE CONCIERGE VALERIA.

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 Unilocal 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.

I arranged the El Yunque rainforest tour in PR for our trip last September. The Unilocal 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.

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.

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.

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 $.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!!!
