From a meeting point in Fajardo, JM Adventure Tours runs a short excursion into the heart of Naguabo to El Hippie, a waterfall that sits just minutes from where the vehicle parks. The site is built around easy swimming and local swing sets that make for memorable photos, and the operator supplies water, snacks, life vests and helmets while recommending you bring towels.

A waterfall a few minutes from the parking spot

Local swing sets that make for standout photos
Locals have installed swing sets near the falls; they’re a draw for photos and a lighthearted focus of the visit, offering a classic island-frame-for-a-friend snapshot.
Family-oriented with basic safety gear supplied
The tour is marketed as family-friendly and includes life vests and helmets; water and snacks are provided, and a cooler can be arranged in advance—towels are recommended to bring along.
