Captain Bob's Tours

[snowhite1019]

I spoke to Captain Bob and he has 3 different rain forest tours which I've listed below. I really want to see the beauty, possibly waterfalls and maybe go swimming in a pool. We can definitely handle some activity but can't handle a lot of climbing or high exertion. They all sound wonderful and I am confused as to which one to choose - has anybody gone on any of these and, if so, can you recommend one:

1. Charco Azul (blue pool)/Guavate (the pork highway). This is my favorite and in my opinion the best as it offers something for everyone. If youI are interested in a beautiful not to strenous walk through a rain forest this is it. Its all indigenous flora of Puerto Rico except for the bamboo which is everywhere after crossing four bridges you will get to Charco Azul where you can swim or just enjoy the beauty. From there we will go to the world famous Guavate where you can partake of the best roast pig in the world, we will go to Andrew Zimmer's favorite you'll even see his picture on the wall. This is a tour of the real Puerto Rico that most tourist never get to see. The cost is $ 50 pp. minimum $150. (food not included)

2. Charco Frio (cold pool). This is located in the rain forest on the back side of El Yunque and its definately one of the most if not the most beautiful pool on the island, you can swim jump from a rope swing or just enjoy. Its a more strenuous hike about 20 minutes with a climb down some rocks to get to the pool. On the way in we stop at the Basillo house where you can change and use the facilities. From there we will take the beach road back where we will stop at a local restaurant for lunch or for groups of 6 or more Mrs. Basillo will cook a wonderful dinner for you. The cost is $65 pp. minimum $ 195. (food not included) This tour is not available on Saturdays

3.Last but certainly not least El Yunque National Park this is the rain forest most frequented by tourists, most of the flora you see has been planted and is not indigenous of Puerto Rico. We will stop at Coco Falls and then on to Yokohu tower from there I will take you to a beautiful place to swim away from the crowds you can even zip line there. From El Yunque we will take the beach road back and stop for lunch. The cost is $ 50 pp. minimum $150. If you want to zip line the cost is $65 pp. minimum $195. Plus the cost of the Zip Line.

I used Tour with Ellis: See the Real Puerto Rico last and have another tour booked next year. Ellis is not "Captain Bob" but these are Ellis's tours. Not sure who Captain Bob is.
