Private Naturalist Guided Tours

My boyfriend and I booked Skip for a 5 hour tour to El Yunque. Skip was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Friendly and fun. Went above and beyond to make our experience everything we wanted it to be. And we didn’t expect to have him be our personal photographer for the trip, but that was an added amazing bonus ! Thanks for the memories ❤️

Skip did an amazing job guiding us for two days of searching for endemic birds. My wife and I found many birds including 8 new species to add to our list. Skip is incredibly knowledgeable about the island and many other subjects besides birds. I highly recommend Skip for any tour you wish to do in Puerto Rico.

Skip provided absolutely amazing service for me and my friends while on vacation,very kind and helpful and has plenty of knowledge about Puerto Rico etc .Totally exceeded our expectations. We Would recommend him to anyone thats looking for a fun/funny & trustworthy driver/photographer 😊

Very nice and knowledgeable when it comes to Puerto Rico life/wildlife! Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to go on a tour with.

This was one of the best trips we have ever taken while on vacation. Skip was a wealth of knowledge, and very engaging. We could not have asked for a better trip to the rainforest.

Our first time to Puerto Rico and spending the first day with Skip was the perfect way to start our vacation. Coffee and a bakery to start the day and then up the mountains we went. Skip stopped here and there to point out little details and share his vast knowledge. During our hike he pointed out birds, and talked in-depth about the flora of the island. We are plant nerds so this was great! He shared science and folklore. It is evident Skip has a passion for nature and sharing it with others comes natural. I would 100% recommend spending the day with Skip whether this be your first time to the island or your tenth.

We had a fantastic time with Skip on the rainforest tour. He is very knowledgeable of local history, plants, and animals. We visited a coffee plantation, waterfalls, black sand beach and ate local Puerto Rican food that even I could eat with multiple food allergies. Skip was fun and a great host. Highly recommend!

Skip was awesome! He took us to so many amazing & beautiful hidden places! Thank you! 🙂😎

We took a tour with Skip for the rainforest and it was awesome. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to make the tour what you want to see and do. I highly recommend his services , you won’t be disappointed.

Did a four hour tour with skip into the rainforest, very educated on his stuff. Got some beautiful pics and some breath taking views. Highly recommended..

Highly recommend booking a tour or two with Skip on your Puerto Rico vacation. We were extremely happy with the two tours we booked with him. He went out of his way to make sure we had a fantastic experience, tailored to our needs and interests. He really made our trip memorable. A highlight was the tour he did with us through the rainforest - we were a group of 6 - aged 5 through 75 - and he was able to ensure that everyone had a safe and fun-filled experience. Thank you, Skip!

What can I say? We had a blast with skip. So much information about the island, it’s history and culture. We designed our trip to fit the needs of my seven year old and 63 year old mother. Skip took tons of pictures, guided us through el yunque rainforest, lunch at a delicious outdoor restaurant and lastly a beach where my family could swim. At the end of the day my daughter said skip was her friend and she can’t wait to show him her seashells she found on the beach.

Skip was an incredible tour guide! I gave him an idea of what we were looking for and surely delivered. We toured the rainforest one day, and did a food and culture tour the next. He even sent us off on an adventures snorkeling evening. I absolutely LOVED the rain forest. But the next day, Skip went above and beyond. We made random stops, we turned around when he saw a local vendor he knew I’d want to check out. It was incredible. Good food, good snacks, good juices, good frozen snacks. Thank you Skip for such a great time. We were blow away with your knowledge, ability to answer all of our questions, the laughs, the random conversations.

We went with skip on 2 SPICYYY excursions. We went on a hike to a hidden beach with the cave of swallows and got to see a blowhole. Also a 3 hour hike into el yunque rainforest. Very knowledgeable and great with the kids!

My husband and I had a great time on our tour with Skip. I messaged to ask if we could stop for coffee on the way out of San Juan and he took us to an amazing coffee farm out of the city. Skip is very knowledgeable about the rich ecosystems of Puerto Rico and we learned a lot while enjoying the awesome scenery. Also really enjoyed the lechon lunch. It was an unforgettable day made possible by Leila and Skip!
