  • In order to best appreciate the bioluminescent phenomena our tours run at sunset and early evening and it can get quite dark in the mangrove canal.

This way you can see where you are going, get use to the environment and sharpen your kayaking skills

Awesome Experience!! - Javier, Natalia, Amaury, Yadiel and Catalina were very knowledgeable and helpful! All of them were super professional and the rules and expectations were very clearly explained from the outset. Members of our party had been twice before (each time with a different company) and said this was a much better experience than the second one they tried. The life vest and kayaks were clean and in great shape and the whole process of signing in, receiving instruction, and getting on the water was very smooth. Thanks so much for a great experience and a highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico!

Bio Bay Night Kayaking - It was an adventure for these four 60+ women on their annual girls' trip. Natalia, Enrique, Yadiel, Javier and Catalina encouraged and guided us through a once in a lifetime experience. We highly recommend it!

Highly recommend - We had great time. Tour guides are all very friendly and helpful. I took 6:30 pm tour in June and it was new moon - tour company has tarp to make sure you can see it and it did made difference. I'd highly recommend 6:30 pm tour instead of later one if you have beginner or children in your group as on the way back, it was much more difficult to paddle in the dark and it is definitely nice to practice and see the route while in daylight. Expect to get mosquito bites. Bring mosquito repellent and mosquito bite treatment to use afterward. When things are slow - look around for wildlife. We saw firefly, iguana, and a bird (that I don't know name of). Tour guides will point out wildlife if they see one on the route but they are wildlife and it's up to luck whether you can see them...

Amazing experience to see the glow and make yourself sparkle - The tour was good and they took care of us well. They were accommodating with my 7yr old. We were able to go into the bay and see the bioluminescence. It was really cool. Javier stuck with us to provide more info about the environment and all the other animals around like the coquis and glowing beetles. There were two things I didn’t expect. One was that all the kayaks are doubles So if you have an odd number group, you might have to share with someone else. They didn't have us do that during the night we went, since they want my wife and I to paddle due to the conditions. So I appreciated that. The second was that for most of the tour you are paddling through the channel to get to the bay. They said that sometimes the bioluminescence goes into the channel but it wasn’t for us. So we only got to play around in the bay and the bioluminescence for a short period of time but that seems to be the case for all the other tour companies that go out too. Overall highly recommend for all including families with youngish children.
