We failed to understand what water slides really meant….it is not the man-made slide we were expecting. You actually sit in rushing water and its lifts you over the ominous rocks. In retrospect, as a couple in our mid-fifties, we would have selected a more leisurely tour. However, the guide prepared us for everything including telling us to wear and/or bring socks. He demonstrated the proper technique for using the natural water slides. He was very knowledgeable and kept safety as a priority. I could not believe people were attempting it without a guide and no prior experience. Even with the guide, it is hazardous. We felt battered and were slightly bruised from the water slide experience. We slipped a few times on the rocks when ascending and descending so scraped our shins. Next, we jumped from rocks into the swimming pools. After that, we took a quick hike into the rainforest…breathtaking! This tour then takes you to Luquillo for lunch and shopping on your own. We were still able to enjoy over an hour on the beach on the guides boogie board. The water was warm, calm and beautiful shades of blue.
