Batey Zipline Adventure

Amazing time. The instructors are very friendly with detail about the place. History facts. Beautiful view. 7 lines to go. They are really good at entertaining and explaining about security.

We had so much fun doing the classic zip line and the 3 hour horseback riding tour. Kayaking through the bat cave was a highlight, and the zip lining and rapelling were fantastic! Check out the nearby Villa Kitcha they run as well, if you want a place to stay in the area.
Best of all, though, was the horseback ride. Jorge was incredibly fun to talk to, about politics and the flora and fauna of the area as we enjoyed a ride through a beautiful forested farm. The horses were not your typical trail-​weary mares, but more like sports cars: well-​trained, responsive, and happy to move if you wanted to. Jorge was great at choosing the right horse for us with our experience levels in mind.
Everyone we experienced with working there was friendly, competent, and extremely knowledgeable. Would heartily recommend to anyone wanting a personal adventure in Puerto Rico.

One word to describe the experience: AMAZING! Jorge and his crew of guides are fantastic and so welcoming. The adventure that you go on is unforgettable. I will defenitely come back to experience it all over again. Santo the dog will make you love them even more.

Great adventure tour! They drove us from and back to the Hotel, very nice friendly staff.
The tour itself was unforgettable, thorough, full of nature, history, and principally adventures!
We would definitely recommend it and of course do it again.

We signed up for the Batey Classic Tour which includes 7 ziplines, rappelling, a little hiking, a fun walk across a bouncing bridge and a kayak tour of a cave. Everything was great except we weren’t able to take the kayak tour because it had been raining and it would have been dangerous. I would have given a five star rating if we had gotten a small refund for the lack of kayaking. Even though there was a disclaimer on the website indicating the kayaking may not be available due to weather, it would be a nice customer service gesture to refund a few dollars for something you paid for but didn’t get.

If you are visiting Puerto Rico and looking for a day of adventure you MUST come to Batey! It’s located in the central part of the island right in the middle of the tropical Forrest. Although the roads to get there can be rough, lots of uphill driving and full of curves it definitely worth the trip. Upon arrival you are met by the tour guide. We had Edwin and man was he awesome! You get in the van with a group of about 6 – 10 people and drive to another area about 10 minutes away. Once there you get into another pickup truck that takes you off road into the mountains. The view up there is to die for! If you love natural waters and earthy views this is the place for you. The zip line is loads of fun. As of August 2015 there are a total of 7 zip lines all back to back. You have to hike for about 10 minutes so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. After the zip lines, you can pay extra to repel down. It seems scary at first but not any scarier than the zip line. If you chose to only do zip line you hike back down to the tanama river. Once there you can get into the water and swim! It was so refreshing after all the adventure. I recommend brining water shoes (speedo type) if you plan to swim because the rocks will poke your feet. It seemed like it was going to rain so we weren’t able to do the kayak part. For $ 109 a person and four hours of adventure you can’t beat it! Guiro was our other tour guide who lived in the mountains and even gave us avocados and beautiful flower seeds to take home. It truly made my trip to Puerto Rico amazing. I highly recommend coming to this little hidden gem to truly see the tropical Forrest and the natural beauty Puerto Rico has to offer. I will certainly be back again next year! Thank you Edwin and Guiro you guys rock!!!

This is the best adrenaline experience we ever had with my family. My daughter is only 6 and she could zipline with no problems. The staff was very friendly and attentive to everyone. They were sincere and helpful!

If you survive the crazy mountain road traffic and make it to batey, you’ll have a great time. Hold on to your seats because getting to the zip line spot means going through some super steep mountain passes. Thankfully the batey staff does the driving. Once there you’ll love the view. They sent us through 7 zip lines. It was my first time and it was a blast. The repel was awesome for my first time, but a more experienced repel enthusiasts may find it to easy. Then into the river it was muddy because of rain, but still very refreshing and beautiful. Over all the wife and I had a blast. Unfortunately the weather didn’t permit a extended tour. Thanks to batey for keeping use all well informed and safe. P. s. if your not used to driving on small mountain roads dont be afraid to use the horn driving through the mountains around the blind corners or every corner lol. It saved us a few times. And look for km 49 and your close. because the 12.4 km sign was very faded. Also grab a bite across the street after at LA yuka, food was great.

We had a great time with Batey Zipline. This was the second time we have ziplined with them. I highly recommend Batey. They are professional, experienced and provide educational, fun adventurous tours! You won’t be disappointed. Jorge, Denise and Geiro were all awesome!

Doing this adventure was a last minute spur of the moment decision and it was the best decision of my life! The trip to Puerto Rico was for my 25^th birthday and this was the highlight of the entire trip. The tour guides are also extremely knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating of any fears, questions. E.t.c., Definitely coming back on my next trip to PR!

My friends and I had a great time at the Batey tours. Not only were the tours fun with all the zip lining, rappelling and kayaking that we did, but also very informative about the natives and traditions of the region. Jorge was very friendly and helpful and even helped us make plans for the rest of the trip while we were at PR.
The tour itself was well paced and even though we were a little late to get there, we had the full experience of the tour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We also enjoyed plenty of freshly grown fruits from his land while hiking, and the zip — lines were thrilling.
The only improvement I would suggest is to put up more signs on the way there so that getting to your place is easier than it was.
Thanks Batey for the wonderful time we had and making the experience memorable !!

We have gone on Batey adventures twice — once in 2012 and again in January 2015. Both times we had a wonderful experience. The guides are friendly, knowledgable and helpful and the scenery is stunning!

Best adventure today! Probably best adventure we had in Puerto Rico. Saw so many cool things. Jorge took my husband and I out all day and showed us alot of really cool things. Everything from the horses, kayaks, caves, and hiking to his cool house to eat bananas and show us the land was amazing. He was the best guide anyone could have asked for. His wife and children are adorable and I hope there business thrives. Beautiful people all the way around. Thankyou so much!!!

Amazing! If you are a nature lover you will love it here. Must be in decent shape as you are taking quite a hike, but it is so worth it. Great adrenaline rush as well as beautiful scenery.

Great adventure!!! The tour guys are really nice and friendly. The tour is beautiful and the zip lines are a lot of fun. Is a most if you are in PR and have the time. I and definitely doing it again next year when I comeback.

Saturday, 9:30AM.
Batey Classic Tour.
Minimal street signs while we drive into the countryside. No lanes. Lots of hills. Blind spots on the road. Venturing from San Juan. What could possibly go wrong?
Quickie:
+Sustainable tourism
+Awesome service (tour guides were funny too)
And then???
Be ready for an adventure with mis amigos!
