El Yunque rainforest tour help!

[Ejak927]

My husband son and I will be in San Juan 2 days post cruise- we are very interested in a guided tour of the rainforest with moderate to mild ability as my son is only going to be 5. Found a great option but we are looking to it the rainforest on a Sunday and it seems that tour does not run on Sunday's- any recommendation would be much appreciated!

Bump. My wife and I are also interested in the rainforest. We got married in PR and were so busy we didn't get to do much as tourists. We have two days pre-cruise to fill as well.

What about doing a tour on your own? I have read about people renting a car and driving around yourself...but are there any "maps" out there that show you a driving tour to do on your own?

We thought about it but with only have 2 days in San Juan I want to make sure we see as much as we can, also I've heard although they have maps some trails can be very challenging and we have a 5 year old coming with us. We ended up booking with Ellis tour and he sounds very dependable- thanks for the recommendations!

We rented a car from Avis at the cruise port, and did the Rainforest on our own. We had a map, and some directions to specific trails that lead to waterfalls. It was several years ago. There were some local folks(rainforestgirl, and RayinPR) who answered many questions, but I don't think they have posted recently.

We also want to do the rainforest by our own so all information will be welcome. While we are there we would like to do the zipline the Beast.
