jesters Posted May 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2015 We are looking at a tour with Atabey. We will only be docked from 7am to 1pm, and they seem very accommodating. It is a private tour for my family of 5. Anyone have any experience with them? Good reviews on TripAdvisor. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISING71 Posted May 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi, I booked on their tour in August. Bumped this up to see if anyone would have more inputs. They do have good review on tripadvisor. Thanks, Tibbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtsyChic Posted May 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Really interested in hearing about feedback from using them. Might use them in December. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivegourmet Posted May 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2015 They are fantastic! I am from San Juan, took a family tour with them. Very different from other tour guides companies, this is an adventure, places not even locals get to see. You won't be dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I am getting so lost in the sea of tour guides and all their write ups. Sometimes it doesn't seem clear to me the real deal difference between them. The tour you took with them was it rainforest and private ? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivegourmet Posted May 29, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yes, it was The Yukiyu Rainforest adventure. We were a family group, so,it was just us. If you are more than four, you can make it private, or join other people, price goes down after more than six. It is not the typical Rainforest tour, that takes you to the same waterfalls, you go to places away from tourists crowds, all to yourselves.

LuckyZ Posted June 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Does anyone have a rough idea in the cost pp for one of their tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec2007w3boys Posted July 29, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Used him last Dec for an awesome tour - did the rainforest with the caves and waterfall. Wow. You have to see the sites to believe them. Andres is a true first class act! We did this one - cost at end: 2) “THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR”: This one is for the adventurous souls. We can do it several different ways depending on your needs as this is a custom tour focused on a deep connection with Atabey (Mother Earth). We usually start with a Local traditional Lunch by the side of the mountain road (big tasty home-made plates for about $6 per person/plate) to give us energy for the day. Our adventure begins with a 20-minute hike through a valley surrounded by stunning limestone canyons riddled with caves to the sides of the cliffs. We walk through the valley forest and arrive at a river that carves the canyon. Here we can swim in pristine uncontaminated water (it can be muddy if it's been raining but that only means we have more natural nutrients in the water so it's great for the skin and hair, etc...), we can have an exfoliating mud bath (imagine the best natural facial with the minerals/sediment in the river) and float/enjoy the epic views of the colossal limestone canyons enveloping the river. There are spectacular photography moments to be had here. Then, we walk through the shallow water to explore and drink from a natural water spring that emerges from a small cave by the edge of the river. There is a section that is rocky as we're walking through the shallow current. This is a very intimate hidden gem that was surely a sacred place for our Taíno natives as a source of drinkable fresh water and a small shelter from the outside world. This whole area is a magical place unknown to most Puerto Ricans and we usually have it all to ourselves. This full day tour is our most remote and off the beaten path option and it includes transportation (pick-up and drop-off at your place), guide, native fruits and/or coconut water, and all fees for: $125 per person.

Fun Loving Posted February 4, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 4, 2018 We are looking to go there on a later afternoon cruise stop in April. Particularly looking forward to the waterfalls, cliff diving, etc. Does anyone know what the water temperatures are like where they go? Thanks.

Fun Loving Posted February 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2018 We are considering this tour. We are a group of women and a couple of them had some concerns, so maybe you can help me out. 1. What is the hiking like? i.e. distance, terrain, slope/number of hills. A couple have bad knees so that's why asking. 2. Did you feel safe or have any safety concerns (especially since it is secluded and off beaten path)? Thank you for any input!
