The experience is subject to weather and river conditions. The zipline portion requires at least 8 participants, and the tour may be canceled if that minimum is not met. If the operator cancels, alternative options, rescheduling, or a refund will be offered.
The El Yunque Rainforest Zipline & Hiking Tour usually includes the hike and river activities before the lunch stop and zipline, but the zipline may take place first on some days.
On Saturdays, the hike is longer and more challenging because the tour departs from a different starting point.
