Shore Excursion to Rainforest

[ILoveScotland]

I will be in port on the Allure of the Seas next month and am looking at shore excursions sponsored by the ship.  One is called "Wild and Scenic Rainforest Nature Walk to Scenic River Adventure."  Has anyone done this excursion?  I ask because it looks like something I'd enjoy, but the information says the activity level is "strenuous."  I'm curious what that means especially for people like me who can easily walk a fair distance but am not a hiker as such.  So, I'd appreciate any advice or experiences others have had.

Is there any more information about this tour? Most ship and port- bought tours to the rain forest are basically a drive- thru with two quick stops at a roadside water fall and the visitors center. This sounds like a longer and more comprehensive tour. How long is your stop?

I understand that ship tours are often drive-thru excursions, but here is the overview of this particular excursion:

 

Experience the lush beauty of San Juan's National Rain Forest two ways, with a scenic bus drive and picturesque nature walk. Marvel at the tropical greenery on a narrated bus ride to Juan Diego Trail in the rainforest lowlands. Then grab your backpack, explore the sights, refuel with a snack, enjoy a swim or sounds and smells of nature on foot, if weather permits. After walking back, take a short bus ride to Yokahu Tower for scenic views, photo opportunity then a stop at La Coca Waterfall for sightseeing and photo opportunity, before returning back to the ship. 

 

The excursion is listed as having an activity type as "Active Adventures" and an activity level of "Strenuous."  It lasts 4 hours and 45 minutes.
