Atabey Tours

[jesters]

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!

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

Really interested in hearing about feedback from using them. Might use them in December. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks!

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.

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!

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.

Does anyone have a rough idea in the cost pp for one of their tours?

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.

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.

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!
