This place is FUN!!! We didn't pay two excursions here. One was ATV/UTV tour and the other was horse back riding on the beach. First we loved our tour guide Mikey he was fun and friendly, he was knowledgeable and knew the area. We went on a two hour tour that brought us to a few spots for pictures along with a river to take a dip. He drew on us with rocks! lol we stopped at a small restaurant with some food for purchase and pina colada's with a bunch of cats! They had a restroom too. Overall the experience was worth it we spent about $600 for a family of 4. On a separate day we went on horseback to the beach. It was fun but crazy!!! These horses are trained but definitely have a mind of their own. It POURED the entire time. But this excursion is rain or shine! There is a weight limit and shoe requirement. We stopped a a bar that had drinks and food this was a very well organized place. Overall highly recommend! Things to know: bring cash to tip the workers, wear closed toed shoes, have face coverings and glasses for eyes, bring towels and change of clothes to leave in your car. Bring cash or card for food, drinks and souvenirs. Bring cat treats to feed the cats!
The horseback riding adventure in the middle of the rainforest was a really cool experience and something fun to do while checking out the views. the horses were older and pretty tame so it's an excursion for all ages and when I say all ages, I had a three year-old little boy in front of me riding on his own horse and he was loving it. They have a few different options on where you want to ride and hours you can go It's the beach ride or Rainforest and between one and two hours i opted for the 1 hour and that was enough for me. but definitely a cool thing to do while in PR
This was an amazing experience! I had so much fun. Paola was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable of the equipment and entire process. She was also very attentive and kept a pretty steady but fun speed. We did the UTV which included helmets and instructions of course. You do not have to drive yourself if you came with someone. They can drive for you if you are more of a passenger like myself. The rainforest was so beautiful and it was a bit rainy on this day which made it very wholesome for me. Stopping by the river was tranquil. Being able to use the rocks to paint our faces with super cool. We signed up at the front where we had to fill out paperwork and signed the waiver. Overall, I enjoyed this excursion. I will definitely come back to try their restaurant on site and maybe some horseback riding.
My husband and I went to Puerto Rico for our anniversary - and any place that we travel to, we always try to find an amazing ATV tour, and we are so glad we found Carabali! Everything seemed very organized, from the minute we checked in. We got a quick presentation on how to use the ATVs (we are pretty experienced) and then we got all of our helmets and were set up on our ATVs. We were both drivers, but they also had options where you could be a passenger (sit behind the driver) or UTVs where it's more like a car with multiple seats across and behind. There was quite a bit of people at our timeframe, but they split us into groups of 8 with different leaders - so it worked out really nice! The ride was fun with beautiful views! We have been on some pretty adventurous/rough rides, but this was great! Definitely a bit more tame than we are used to, but we still really enjoyed it. We did the 2 hour ride and it included a stop at the Mamayes River, where we got to take a dip (SO refreshing and beautiful), then we stopped somewhere that served some pastries (we got an empanadilla de pizza and papa rellena - YUM) and non-alcoholic drinks in coconuts! All in all, we had a really great time! Will definitely recommend!
Riding ATV's through the breathtaking foothills of the El Yunque Tropical Rainforest in Puerto Rico was our favorite! Janlied was our guide and he was the absolute best! We felt safe at all times. Book the 2 hrs it's worth it! Carabalí has been owned by the same family since 1977 and has so much history. Janlied made it fun to learn some of the interesting things about the local plants and people. He picked flowers for the ladies and made use some crowns out of ferns and even gave us some face paint using the minerals extracted from the stones. We stopped a few times for the views, pictures and swimming. The property is so well kept and maintained and the staff are all so nice and helpful. Don't hesitate to book this amazing adventure and request Janlied!
What an amazing day. We were on a UTV excursion led by Mark Anthony. He led us through some rough terrain to stop at some beautiful sites. We did the one hour excursion, I wish we would have signed up for the 2-hour trip. It was so much fun. We stopped at a river where we were able to go swimming. This place is packed with so many options. They have horseback riding, ATVs, and go karts. It was so much fun. The staff was great in explaining all the details. We will definitely do it again.
Unforgettable ATV Adventure at Carabalí Rainforest Park! If you're visiting Puerto Rico and want an unforgettable outdoor experience, make sure to check out Carabalí Rainforest Park - located right at the edge of El Yunque National Forest. Our family did the one hour ATV ride. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! The trail is the perfect mix of excitement and natural beauty - muddy, thrilling paths, breathtaking rainforest views, and a few wildlife sightings along the way. The real stars of the experience were our tour guides, Kenny and Jandell. They were absolutely fantastic - friendly, and so passionate about what they do.They walked us through all the safety procedures, made sure everyone was comfortable on the ATVs, and kept the energy high the whole time. Plus, they offered to take great photos for us and shared awesome tips about the local area. We left covered in mud, smiling ear to ear, and already talking about coming back. Whether you're a first-time rider or a seasoned pro, this tour is a blast. Thank you Kenny and Jandell - and huge kudos to Carabalí Rainforest Park for such a top-tier experience!

This is almost the best vacation I've ever had in my life. This is an effort to complete my review of a vacation that took place 14 months ago. I would have never thought to want to go to Puerto Rico for anything. And when I did, the total experience is what make me want to go back? Now that I'm so much more closer to it. It's gonna be my go to vacation spot. This is the one of many places that you need to put on your checklist to see when you go here. Just like any place, if you don't have something to do, you don't get the full benefit out of going there. This place you can spend going back multiple times just to do everything in this one location. I missed the rainfall by 1 hour and it would have been even more fun. But the fact that I got the slide around in the mud and get dirty was the best thing ever. Your quads are for 2 people that even have horses. Buggy rides a restaurant and more. Plan on spending at least 3 hours at this location to take the quad tour or even longer. If you're going to ride horses. Make sure you bring cash to tip your tour guide. At the end of it, there's a large restaurant with tons of seating tons of people and long lines, so be hungry and ready to wait. The whole experience is well worth. read more

I booked the two hour ATV ride and my tour guide Sabastian was the best! He took all my pics I wanted and talked about different things around Puerto Rico and even gave me local food recommendations close by! I had a blast doing this tour and you make multiple stops to take pics and one of the stops you can go swimming for 25 mins and the last stop is to get food and drinks read more

An amazing experience! I did the horse back riding. Our tour guides were Jonathan and Alex. They made it so much fun for the whole group. We made a 30 minute stop at the bar on beach (drinks and food not included) but the prices were really good. The two women bartenders were so nice(sorry can't remember their names) but they had great music, food and drinks! I would definitely recommend to everyone! Just FYI best to do the horseback riding early in morning because it does get really hot! Everyone is really nice and the vibes are amazing! read more

My friends and I did both the horseback riding and the ATV tour! The workers were all very kind! They made sure you felt comfortable with the horses and were riding them correctly. In my case, they also helped me stay on the horse because my body was sliding more to the left and didn't notice. If you're a first timer in riding horses for sure do it! Our tour guide for the ATV's, Micheal Freaking Baker, was honestly the highlight of that tour. His energy really does bring life to the tour. read more

Had the best time doing the UTV excursion! Our tour guide Danny was the best! Super nice, very informative, funny, and didn't miss a beat when teaching us how to ride. We were the only UTV in a group of 6 (including Danny). The rest all had ATVs. I would most definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to have fun! Unfortunately we didn't get to go in the river because of flash flood warnings, but in no way is that the companies fault. It's simply Mother Nature. Thanks again, Danny, for showing us such a fun great time! read more

We had the best time on our 1-hour ATV ride guided by Gabriel. The park is an easy drive (we were at the Hyatt Grand Reserve) and has tons of parking. The check in was efficient (don't forget your drivers license and the card you paid online with) and then we waited in an area for our group to be called. They gave us instructions on how to control the ATV and then we got fitted for helmets. Some people had neck gaiters to cover their mouths/nose and others had something on their head. We didn't, I wear glasses and it was a little dusty out there once we got going but not enough to make you cough. They made sure to line us all up with our groups so we'd be riding together, even the people who had friends in the other type of vehicle (dune buggy type). Again Gabriel made sure everyone was comfortable riding, we were a small group of 4 plus him and a back employee/rider for spotting issues. We tore around the park on trails, he stopped us twice to make sure we were comfortable, and twice we stopped for pictures. They don't enforce the long pants rule, but the ATV gets really hot on your left leg so I encourage jeans. The second stop is by a river that under normal circumstances they let you wade around, but there had been recent storms so they kept us out for flash flood safety. I chatted with Andrew, another employee at this stop. He was super friendly, was able to tell me all about the native trees on the property, and by the way the other guides all stopped to give him a fist bump or hug I could tell he was a well respected employee. Only suggestions for improvement is to improve the toilets. The women's toilets are tight, and they didn't flush well. Also, they take Amex online but not in the store. Lastly, make a t-shirt with the Caraballi logo and an ATV. My daughter got one with a horse, but the ATV would have been more fun. She has decided she wants to come work here next summer and ride ARVs all day :) read more

My son had mentioned that he wanted to try horses back riding, so what better time than in our vacation to Puerto Rico. Everyone at Carabali Rainforest Park was absolutely great. We were in a group of about 10-15 people and the guides made sure we all stayed together and knew what we were doing. Angel, our main guide, was very personable and had fun with kids who were in our group. Our adventure consisted of riding horses for about an hour, stopping at the River to have snacks and play around, then back on the horse to ride back to the ranch. This was our first excursion while in Puerto Rico and my son definitely rated it 10/10. Pieces of advice... remember to wear bug spray as the mosquitoes did end up using us as their next meal, also you will get dirty. Not horribly dirty, but just don't expect to get on a horse and come off clean. As mentioned we would definitely do again or use Carabali for future adventures. read more

We did the horseback ride to the beach tour and it was so fun! I'd never ridden a horse before and it took a minute to get used to it but the guides were great. My horse Saly was so sweet! The break at the bar at the beach was also wonderful as well. read more

We had Harry and Nathan as our tour guides and they were great; they even stopped at several places and took group pictures of us (one of the many photos are attached to this review)! As a whole, the adventure was awesome and we will definitely be returning! Not to mention we had a party of 10! Yet, the check-in process was still smooth as ever. read more

The ATV ride was hands down one of the funnest things I've done on my visit to PR I will come back and take the interactive 2hour tour seeing multiple heritage sites, driving through puddles, along side rivers and doing beginner and intermediate ATV moves in the ONLY rainforest in the United States managed by the U.S. Forestry Service. If you do get to choose your guide Pacheco is your man, not only does he have good humor he exuberantes the pride he has in his people through his interactive teachings and tour. Pants are not required but recommended as the ATVs do get hot. BRING YOUR Drivers License with you. A restaurant is on site and they do have public WiFi. read more

Shout out to Giovanni ! Great tour guide . We did the UTV at Hacienda Carabali. We heard about it from our uber driver at the airport and i booked it instantly on their webpage from one day to the next . We are staying in old SJ but the Hacienda recomendad us a private shuttle which was way more economic than Uber . The food at their restaurant was very authentic & flavorful . The overall experience was great even though we couldn't get in the river as it has been raining all these days in PR . But it was still worth my $$ for 2 hr ride ! read more

Amazing experience for ATV riding! I had so much fun and HAVE to shoutout our tour guide, Hendricks. He was very kind, patient and had so many great camera tricks up his sleeve. I highly recommend visiting the rainforest when you go to PR. Also, there's a food spot midway so keep your wallet or phone on you (using a bag or a little compartment built in to the ATV). Last point - Hendricks also took time to tell us about the history of PR and Taino culture, which I really appreciated. read more
My friend and I had a fun 1-hour ATV tour with Andrew! We didn't go as fast as we may have liked (but we're both used to driving/being around atvs), but we saw a lot on the tour and enjoyed the great views! It was such a beautiful landscape and was a great activity for people of all experience levels. All the staff, especially our tour guide Andrew, were helpful and nice! If I were to do it again, I'd probably opt for the two hour tour because it was a lot of fun! read more

At Carabali, we made a reservation to go ATV riding. We arrived on time and they started our lessons on schedule. It was a great. They made sure everyone was comfortable and made sure the group remained close & in a single file line. It was very safe & they train you how to drive it beforehand. They even run a short test for each driver before starting. They make sure no phones are being used by neither drivers or passengers as it's very dangerous. In the back of the ATV there is a compartment to keep your phone & small bags, but it's not super big so I don't recommend bringing a ton of stuff. I kept my things in said compartment and had no problem with the it trying to open nor any of my belongings being damaged during the trip. As previously mentioned, they don't allow phones to be out during the ride but they make sure to pull over for photo opportunities! They made sure we had several pictures & several poses. The trip itself is awesome. The views as you're driving through the rain forest are amazing. They have beautiful horses, cows, iguanas, lakes, rivers, mountains, etc. that you see throughout the whole tour. During the trip (that lasts maybe a little less than an hour), we take a 10 minute break at a rest stop that offers many flavors of coladas, soft drinks & water, shish kebabs, etc; As well as restrooms and photo opportunities by a beautiful river. We had a great time and honestly wished we had more time to do other things. If we ever come back to PR, this will be the very first place we comeback to. 10/10 recommend. Also, special shout out to our Instructor Dave who pulled over to pick us fresh fruit & answered any questions we had about Luquillo & surrounding cities and beaches. Tips: *pack lightly, no need to bring water or drinks as they have a restaurant, bar & rest stop - bring wallet, phone & maybe sunscreen *wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy *look into more than just activity, they have a lot & we regret not booking for more (but you can make onsite reservations, we just didn't have time) *if having to wear a helmet, wear your hair in a comfortable hair style such as a low ponytail. they won't allow buns. read more

This place is amazing. From the service to the food drinks activity and staff. I've done horseback riding here last year and came back for the ATVs. The views are amazing for both and so much cheaper than everywhere else. Ariel and Sebastian for the atvs made everyone feel comfortable and treated us like friends ! If you have a chance to come definitely do so! read more

This was our first time doing a UTV tour of the rainforest and boy was it fun. Our tour guide Harry was excellent. He was not only knowledgeable and fun, but patient and kind with everyone in the group. Sometimes guides can seem bored with having done it so many time but not Harry, you can tell he genuinely enjoys sharing his love of the island, its history and the rainforest itself. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a little adventure. So much fun. read more
